Strange Looking 1969 Camaro Restomod Comes With 1,000HP Underhood
This radically-modified 1969 Camaro is set to turn some heads at Mecum's Monterey auction.
A Different Kind of Camaro Build
Owning a pristine, original American muscle car is a dream for many, but there’s a growing allure in modified classics that pack a visual and performance punch. Among these is a strikingly customized Chevy Camaro, set to be auctioned by Mecum in Monterey next month. And it's quite the specimen, to say the least!
Shocking Exterior
Its exterior is designed to turn heads and evoke awe, featuring custom flared steel fenders, bespoke grille intakes, and NACA ducts. The car sits on Billet Specialties wheels, shod in Pirelli rubber, and is equipped with a Wilwood braking system with 14-inch drilled and slotted brakes. A hand-fabricated stainless steel exhaust system with Borla Pro XPS1 mufflers completes the aggressive look.
More of the Same Inside
Inside, this Camaro is a blend of modern technology and classic muscle car aesthetics. It features a 12-point full cage with a dash bar, custom headliner, door panels, and sheet metal floors, giving it a striking look and feel to match the exterior.
Sporty and Comfy
Corbeau mid-back bucket race seats further add to the sporty nature of this beast. A Lokar shift handle and EZ-Life electric power windows are equipped, as well. The Billet Specialties steering wheel and Vintage Air system ensure that driving this monstrosity is both exhilarating and comfortable.
Supercharged LSX
The heart of this Camaro lies in its performance. It is powered by a custom-built Borowski LSX V8 engine, enhanced by a Whipple 2.91 supercharger. This powerhouse combination delivers an astonishing 1,000 horsepower.
Mechanical Elements
The setup includes a Nick Williams 102 mm fly-by-wire throttle body, custom injectors, Holly Dominator engine management, and a Billet dry sump pan and pump. Paired with a Tremec T56 Magnum 6-speed manual gearbox, this Camaro promises an absolutely insane driving experience.
