If youre looking for some classic Detroit metal that mixes macho swagger with some of the best lines to ever prowl American streets this is your car!

BODYWORK/TRIM

Restricted to sunny summer miles since a complete ground-up restoration this awesome coupe displays smooth bodywork and first-rate finishing thats nothing short of excellent. The build began with a solid body that was thoroughly massaged and carefully aligned to very high standards. Once that well-done fuselage was completely smooth and ready for paint a silky coat of Cortez Silver urethane was blanketed with traditional Rally Stripes sealed under a slick clearcoat and capped with clean vinyl. And the result is one exceptional muscle car that combines the best fundamentals of a golden era classic with the acute attention to detail thats more characteristic of modern Detroit superstars.

The best classic cars are those which utilize modern technology and simple customization to enhance the original integrity of an already attractive design. And this tasteful F1 with its subtle and carefully planned enhancements is literally the definition of that logic. At the front of the car a stainless-trimmed grille hangs a bright Z/28 emblem and familiar Rally Sport headlights above a broad bumper crystal-clear parking lamps and an optional D80 chin spoiler. Above that grille a ZL2 cowl induction hood rides between fresh glass straight stainless trim and requisite Camaro by CHEVROLET header regalia. At the sides of that hood blocky rally sport scripts and factory Z/28 emblems reflect correct mirrors traditional door handles dent-free rocker trim and factory-optioned quarter louvers. And at the back of those fenders a tight trunk spoiler caps Rally Sport tail lamps a fourth Z/28 emblem and a second chrome bumper.

ENGINE

The Chevrolet division has always represented performance to a virtual army of car guys. But unlike its refined and precise Corvette brethren the Camaro manifests that performance as raw attitude and brute power. Lift the hood of this sweet first gen and youll find a big block 454 thats been overbored to a whopping 468 cubic inches. At the top of that monster mill air flows through a familiar chrome cleaner to a 750cfm Quick Fuel Technology 4-barrel thats aligned with a Mr. Horsepower pressure gauge proven Earls fittings and an Edelbrock mechanical pump. A resulting air/fuel mixture makes its way from a Dart aluminum intake to aluminum Procomp Electronics heads which hide 3/8-inch pushrods Dart guide plates and Scorpion aluminum rocker arms under matte Dart valve covers. Once those heads flood the cylinders a fresh MSD distributor sequences fire between an MSD Blaster 2 coil MSD 6AL ignition and MSD Super Conductor plug wires. That fire pushes 10.5 to 1 forged popup pistons which spin in unison with a .610-lift hydraulic roller cam and forged steel crank. Resultant spent gases are jettisoned through stainless long-tube headers which perfectly contrast the blocks bright Chevy Orange skin. Naturally cooling is provided by a beefy aluminum
