The first thing that popped into our heads when we laid eyes on this well-built Camaro was: Some cars just drip presence. Now thats all well and good unless initial draw doesnt equal ultimate impression. For a car to be truly desirable that presence must be founded on quality mechanicals. Well we can certainly attest that this panther definitely has the merit to back up its presence thanks to a massaged LS3 a tough Tremec Magnum and a roster of updated ancillaries that includes names like Detroit Speed Truetrac and QA-1. So without further ado heres our latest world-class pro-tourer!

BODYWORK/TRIM

The beneficiary of a 7-year ground-up restoration that was completed in October of 2014 this sterling pony car is the product of filler-free all-original sheetmetal and A LOT of time spent sweating details. From its straight panels to its Nissan Silver Crystal Metallic 2-stage the cars rock-solid body displays immaculate craftsmanship that was completed by Caldwell Restoration of Soddy Daisy Tennessee. Not surprisingly every seam on this Main Street king has been aligned to better-than-factory fit. When you step close to the cars slick PPG pigment youll find flat surfaces that have traveled mere break-in miles since they were professionally rehabbed. And ultimately it all adds up to one very impressive classic that looks right at home reflecting summertime car shows!

In the collector car world the key to attaining great presence is taking something familiar and freshening it just enough to create a lasting impression. In other words the idea is to take someone whos seen hundreds of 69 Camaros and give them definitive reasons to specifically remember this car. Those reasons begin with a shaved Flat Black grille which hangs electric Rally Sport headlights above a mirrored bumper clear parking lamps and a sharp Pro Touring chin spoiler. At the top of that grille a shaved header leads the eye to a cowl induction hood polished wipers and all-new glass thats framed in straight stainless trim. Below that hood the cars smooth profile centers correct mirrors traditional door handles and standard rocker spears between polished drip rails and fully shaved fenders. And at the back of that profile a shaved valance hangs billet taillights between a second mirrored bumper and traditional D80 deck spoiler.

ENGINE

Hoist the metallic hood and youll find 6.2 liters of small block fury! Officially known as the Chevrolet Performance LS376 that sweet crate engine twists respectable 10.7 to 1 compression into 525 horsepower and 475 lb./ft. of everyday torque. And despite consistently delivering track-blistering low-end performance it revs to 6600 RPM and regularly achieves over 20 MPG! Up top a custom air tube and reusable filter element funnel wind in to a factory throttle body and familiar composite intake. That air marries fuel in rectangular-port L92-style heads which hide high-rate springs under color-keyed Corvette rail covers. A nodular crank powdered connecting rods and hypereutectic pistons compress that volatile union. A racing-inspired ASA cam maximizes intake efficiency through better breathing. Speaking of breathing the custom-tuned mill funnels spent gases through coated Street andamp; Performance headers. A polished Mattsons radiator rides between two SPAL cooling fans and a Detroit Speed core support closeout panel. And a smooth Billet Specialties Truetrac system spins a polished alternator opposite a
