Default 69 Camaro LS7 T56 Protour

Ok I've been asked to post so here goes.

Let me know what you think.

GARAGE BUILT CAR Except final body and paint. Also had an upholsterer do the headliner and put the cover on the rear seat. I built the motor

Car has a few subtle body features, Deleted marker lights, filled cowl vent and notched rear spoiler. Body matched smooth bumpers.

I converted the LS7 to wet sump.

• LS7 431 ci 635 HP
• Diamond Forged Pistons
• Titanium Rods
• Texas Speed LS7S Cam 242/250 .648 114+3
• T56 6 Speed Transmission Stage II Built
• Mantic Dual Disc Clutch
• Hooker Supercomp Headers
• C&R Radiator and Engine Oil Cooler
• Curry F9 Posi Rearend 3.50 Gears
• TCI Suspension Front Coilover Suspension
• TCI Rear Torque Arm Suspension
• Wilwood 6 Piston Front and 4 Piston Rear Brakes
• Truforged Custom 18” Wheels
• Vintage Air AC System
• Kenwood Nav System

1st picture is the day I bought the car April 1st 2012. This was it. Sheet metal inside the car, no suspension and no drive train.

Car was finished November 2013 Just over 18 month build

Looks Awesome! The only thing I'd change if it were my car is Hydro dip some of the interior accents in carbon fiber. But as I said its not my car. Love it. Great build. Well done!

I'd like to be the first to say I hate you...

Man, finished it in 18 months. I'm envious. VERY nice looking car also!

Where did you get that console? Looks like the one unique motorsports was using before they went out of business. Like it a LOT.
