An Immaculate Pro-Touring Dream
Recently transformed into a lean and mean pro-touring dream, this 1969 Camaro boasts immaculate bodywork. The project began with a full factory-built frame and an original rust-free 1969 Camaro Rally Sport body. Meticulously aligned panels and precise seams were meticulously crafted at Yesteryear Classic Autos in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The car’s stunning appearance is further enhanced with a Dupont Chroma Premier finish, featuring Gloss Black urethane over Charcoal Gray urethane, accentuated by Metallic Red pin stripes, emphasizing its excellent lines. This classic muscle car commands attention wherever it goes, boasting a formidable presence and captivating curb appeal.
Timeless Design with Modern Upgrades
The ’69 Camaro Rally Sport represents pure automotive artistry, and this pro-tourer enhances its classic appeal with tasteful upgrades. At the front, a black stainless trimmed grille proudly displays a sinister red “SS” emblem, flanked by chrome-trimmed Rally Sport headlights painted Charcoal Gray to match the front valence. LED-illuminated clear round parking lights and a custom fabricated steel and fiberglass Stinger hood complete the fierce front-end look. The car’s profile is accentuated by stainless rocker spears, chrome door handles, Rally Sport fender louvers, and chrome mirrors, perfectly complementing the dark tinted greenhouse glass. Custom painted “SS” and “LS7” call-outs add a personal touch, while a D80 rear decklid spoiler and sequential LED tail lights adorn the back.
The Heart of a Beast: LS7 V8 Power
Lift the hood, and you’ll be greeted by a heart-pounding sight – a hand-built LS7 V8 engine generating a smooth 630 horsepower and an impressive 660 lb./ft. of torque. Derived from the renowned Corvette C5R racing program, this 7.0-liter (427 cubic inch) powerhouse features a new aluminum block design, CNC ported aluminum heads, high lift camshaft, forged steel crankshaft, lightweight titanium connecting rods, and a dry sump oil pan. The LS7’s exceptional performance is complemented by a GM electronic fuel injection system, a K&N air filter, and a high-flow GM intake manifold. The engine roars to life through Stainless Works long tube headers and a three-inch stainless exhaust system. A chrome alternator, polished AC compressor, and a polished Vintage Air serpentine system contribute to the engine’s sleek appearance, while a four-core Ron Davis aluminum radiator ensures optimal cooling.
Performance Refined: Top-Notch Drivetrain and Suspension
This Camaro’s power is harnessed by a multi-disc Monster Clutch and a slick-shifting Tremec TKO500 5-speed manual transmission. The rear-wheel drive system is driven by a Ford nine-inch Posi-trac hot rod housing equipped with 3.55 gears and high-quality 31-spline axles. The car rides smoothly on a full boxed frame with tubular control arms, QA1 coil-over shocks, and a heavy-duty sway bar up front. At the rear, the Monster Bar suspension, equipped with QA1 coil-over shocks and an SRG reversed watts link centering device, ensures superior handling. The four-wheel Wilwood braking system with 12-inch drilled and slotted rotors guarantees reliable stopping power. With Flaming River power rack and pinion steering, the Camaro delivers a perfect blend of classic style and modern agility.
Luxurious and Modern Interior
Step inside this Camaro, and you’ll be greeted by a custom leather interior that strikes the perfect balance between classic style and modern convenience. Corvette bucket seats provide firm support, while the body-matched John Covan dash houses a set of Auto Meter American Muscle gauges, a control panel for the Vintage Air climate control system, and a Kenwood CD/DVD player with touch screen navigation and Bluetooth connectivity. The custom center console features a short throw shifter, power window, and power door lock controls. High-quality black carpet, color-keyed floor mats, and sound deadening insulation ensure a comfortable and quiet ride. The custom suede headliner adds an elegant touch, while Rockford Fosgate speakers, amp, and subwoofer provide excellent audio performance.
