Blending brutal small block power and a smooth R4 transmission with a modern chassis and taught, custom upholstery, every aspect of this stunning Camaro has been taken from °+âgood°+â to °+âBEST°+â!

BODYWORK/TRIM

Fresh out of a detailed, ground-up restoration, this sweet F1 is a solid, well-preserved bowtie that sports many attractive modifications. When the car was still in bare metal, each of its panels was meticulously worked and sanded to create a laser-straight profile. That smooth fuselage was supplemented with a custom valance, a filled cowl, shaved drip rails and high quality Detroit Speed mini tubs. After all that hardware was test fitted, stunning BASF Diamont Carizzma Candy Ruby Red base was sealed in glossy clear and buffed to a glare-inducing shine. That sweet pigment was complemented with a Charcoal taillight panel and traditional Charcoal hockey stripes. And today, this Chevy rolls as one red-hot trophy winner that's primed for sprained necks and strained eyes!

ENGINE

An awesome pro-tourer is an awesome pro-tourer, no matter what engine is jammed between its fenders. That said, it's always nice to see a well-restored classic that sticks to the proven formula of topping a massaged Chevrolet small block with traditional carbureted induction. And, while this balanced and blueprinted powerplant's exact performance numbers have been left to the imagination, we do know the engine is believed to produce over 400 horsepower. At the top of the 383 cubic inch mill, a 770cfm Holley bridges the gap between braided fuel lines, a stylish air cleaner, a small Holley pressure gauge and an Edelbrock RPM Air Gap. That air/fuel mixture floods 195cc Air Flow Research heads, which hide Comp Ultra Gold rollers under trick, color-keyed covers. Those rockers are propelled by a forged Eagle crank, which pushes coated Mahle pistons and forged Eagle rods beneath a hydraulic Comp cam. That assembly gets sparked by an aftermarket distributor, which sequences fire through thick MSD Super Conductor plug wires. Below those wires, Hooker Super Competition headers make quick work of spent gases. At the front of those headers, sleek Concept One pulleys spin an Edelbrock water pump between modern power steering, a color-keyed alternator and modern air conditioning. Cooling comes courtesy of a big aluminum radiator, which funnels anti-freeze around a small expansion tank and two SPAL puller fans.

DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION

Behind the buff 383, a Bowtie Overdrives 200R4 4-speed twists power to a tough Ford 9-inch that's stuffed with a Truetrac differential, 31-spline axles and friendly 3.55 gears. Those gears ride an adjustable Detroit Speed QUADRALink. Opposite that clip, a hydroformed Detroit Speed front-half hangs power rack-and-pinion steering and sixth generation Corvette steering knuckles between tubular control arms, adjustable coil-overs and a splined sway bar. At the corners of that suspension, 4 and 6-piston Wilwood calipers bridge the gap between a Wilwood master cylinder and 14-inch drilled and slotted rotors. Charred dinosaurs float from the aforementioned headers in to a large, Mandrel-bent exhaust system, which positions mean Borla ProXS mufflers behind an X-shaped SpinTech crossover. And torque transitions to pavement through painted Rated-X Rushforths, which spin 245/40R18 Nitto NT05s in front of 335/30ZR19 Nitto NT05s.

INTERIOR

Hit this Chevy's keyless entry and you'll find a custom leather interior that wraps red-stitched seats in a nice blend of classic flash and modern flair. In front of those seats, a Charcoal dash hangs custom-trimmed Auto Meter Carbon Fiber Ultra-Lite telemetry beside Vintage Air climate control and a modern JVC CD player. Below that dash, a custom console balances custom accessory gauges and a precise horseshoe shifter between silver-trimmed foot pedals, color-keyed floor mats and high quality Dynamat insulation. And in front of the driver, an aggressive Billet Specialties steering wheel laps a tilting Ididit column.

Well-built, fully detailed and attention grabbing in every way, this Camaro finds the perfect midpoint between show and go. If you're ready to bring home one of the coolest Chevys on the planet, free up some garage space and call, click or visit http://RKMotorsCharlotte.com.
