1969 Chevrolet Camaro Restomod

Description

The first impression of this 1969 Chevrolet Camaro may just be that iconic classic look you love. But those big rear wheels also signal something more. And as you dig just a little deeper, you'll discover a fully built restomod with a 625+ hp big block, five-speed, four-wheel disc brakes, a custom A/C interior, and so much more.

The silver with black color theme is a great classic Camaro look. But there's a radiance there that they just could never get back in the day that really tells you this one was made to stand out a bit more. And the tight body gaps help give the paint an excellent canvas. This sets the tone for a fully upgraded car that still wants to respect its history. And silver looks terrific with black. The grille, chin spoiler, fender accents, and tinted windows give this one a dark side. And those black Z/28-style racing stripes are painted on so that they look smooth even as they highlight the cowl hood and full-width rear spoiler. All the brightwork looks good so that it can shine on the same level as the paint. But the largest polished piece to grab your attention will be the Boyd Coddington wheels, and the extra-large rear set that gives this a mean stance.

More of that iconic attitude continues inside with the black interior featuring houndstooth cloth inserts. They really took their time with the details on this one, from the deluxe door panels, to the wood-like trim, to the button top of the seatbacks. Even the dome lights work on this well-prepared classic. But of course, this is also a restomod, and so you get well-integrated upgrades. For example, the radio is now a retro-style AM/FM digital tuner, and it connects to an amplified stereo speaker system. Plus, the air conditioning blows cold with modern R134a refrigerant. And it's also built to be a better driver. You get classic pieces like front bucket seats, a center console in-between, Chevy's wood-rimmed sports steering wheel, and a large speedo and tach. These are joined by upgrades like power steering, an AutoMeter auxiliary gauge package, and have you counted the gears on the Hurst shifter yet?

The 502 badges on the cowl were not lying. The engine bay is stuffed with a crate motor that's larger than anything Chevrolet ever offered in the Camaro. Besides the monster displacement, it's a full professional motor build that has been enhanced and fortified with rectangular port aluminum heads, a three-angle valve job, Comp Cams hydraulic roller camshaft, chrome-moly rods, forged aluminum pistons, shot-peened forged steel rods, forged steel crank with billet harmonic balancer, and so much more (call for the full detailed list.) It inhales deeply with a Holley 830 four-barrel carburetor and an Edelbrock Air Gap dual plane intake. It exhales with added power and authority as Hooker Super Comp long tube headers add even more power as they contribute to the rumble of the dual exhaust. There are also the right supporting components, like a Griffin aluminum radiator with electric cooling fans, an MSD 6AL ignition, an MSD ignition, and an Optima red top battery mounted in the rear for better weight distribution. The full package is said to make about 630 horsepower. And you take firm control with a Tremec TKO five-speed manual transmission with a triple-disc race clutch. It feeds a custom driveshaft on its way to stout Ford 9-inch Moser 31-spline axles and an Auburn limited-slip. There are also rear cal-trac bars, four-wheel power disc brakes, drilled and slotted rotors, and the grip of modern performance tires.

Complete with build receipts, this is the classic that was built to eat the streets and keep you comfortable while doing it. A total package like this wrapped around iconic sheet metal is a rarity, so don't let it slip away. Call today!!!
