This true muscle car has a massive powerhouse.
The first-generation Camaro is one of America’s most iconic pony cars and definitely represents everything the late 1960s stood for. Going fast, having fun, and looking good while doing so. It’s easy to see why America fell in love with a Chevrolet Camaro so quickly. Nowadays, if you want a good example, you’ll be paying an arm and a leg for something that still has original factory specs from 1967 through 1969. But what if you could have one of those cars with a lot more performance?
That’s exactly where this 1969 Chevrolet Camaro rest of my comes into the picture. With some obvious body modifications, ranging from the fenders to an amazing paint job, the car perfectly represents itself as a model nine first version of an American classic. You’ll notice that the suspension rides a lot lower than the original example would have ever, which is very much intentional and is great for handling.
You might be wondering what kind of beast is under the hood, and trust me you will not be disappointed. Spinning the rear wheels of this Camaro is a 408 in.³ Texas speed V8 engine that makes more than enough horsepower with its supercharger to fill all of your muscle car needs. It might not come as a surprise that such a powerful engine would also need a pretty substantial transmission. That’s why the Camaro got a trim to its six-speed manual transmission to handle gearing. Overall, you’ll always have fun behind the wheel of this resto mod and it’s particularly cool to think about how this vehicle which was built 55 years ago is faster than most modern-day supercars. If that sounds like your kind of party, then you should consider adding this Camaro to your automotive collection.
