Fairway 700-HP Pro Touring Camaro Turns Corners and Heads
With a build cost rumored to be over $600,000, this Fairway Pro Touring Camaro is the best of the best.
Automotive trends come and go – custom vans, Pro Street, and the early 2000s tuner culture have all faded into memory. One evergreen trend, though, has been Pro Touring. Making a classic muscle car handle has an enduring appeal, and as time marches on, the movement continues to grow in popularity. The basic recipe has remained the same – big wheels, big brakes, and big power. Fairway
The 1967 Camaro seen here is the opposite of flashy. From the outside, it’s the dictionary definition of “tasteful.” Under the hood, though, you’ll find a monstrous 700 horsepower LT4. Naturally, that potent powerplant is backed by a built six-speed Tremec transmission.
Any high-performance engine needs a free-breathing exhaust. On this Camaro, dubbed “Fairway” after the original dealership, spent gases exit through a quarter panel-mounted side exhaust. It’s the single most extreme body modification you’ll find on this clean machine.
Less is More
Other tasteful modifications include a one-of-a-kind, CNC laser-cut grille and flush-mounted bumpers. The overall effect with the mix of black and chrome trim is a solid blend of classic and modern styles. Bronze Forgeline wheels and yellow fog lights add a subtle – but necessary – splash of color.
While the exterior of the car may look mild, there’s far more than meets the eye beneath the surface. SpeedTech supplied the upgraded front subframe, as well as other beefed-up suspension components. Damping duties are handled by RideTech coilovers.
The interior, like the exterior, is understated and businesslike, with racing seats, a full cage, and not much else – although what is there is sparkling clean in color-matched white paint, black vinyl, or polished aluminum. A full roll cage stiffens the body and protects the driver, while racing seats hold them safe and secure. The houndstooth seat inserts offer a nice era-appropriate touch and tastefully tie the interior themes together.
Quality doesn’t come cheap. You might expect a build like this to cost around $150,000, but you’d have to quadruple your estimate. According to AutotopiaLA, this build set Fairway Chevrolet back $600,000 – or about eight and a half Camaro ZL1s.
