This 1967 Camaro Pro Street is a rip-roaring monster built to show car specs. The Chevy has a built custom chassis including a custom front subframe and stunning back half frame. The Camaro has a full rollcage in the interior which extends through the firewall to the front subframe making for one strong car. Details abound in this build!
The body work on the car is pure show quality stuff. The panels are dead on straight, and door to quarter panel alignment is right on mark. The paint is a slick Burgundy job with a skillfully executed "ghosted" checkerboard pattern along the lower half of the car. The entire undercarriage is highly detailed with plenty of that Burgundy paint to go around which is complimented by the gloss black frame. The engine compartment is a sight to see and features all custom made panels. They are a stylish departure from the rough looking original inner fenders these cars came with from the factory and let off a shine in their glossy burgundy finish. The firewall is totally custom as well and even the fan shroud was built one-off for this car.
We rarely see interiors this nice on hot rods, classic cars – well, just about anything. The amount of money that was spent on this interior is more than a lot of enthusiasts have invested in their toys, period. Just completed last year at a cost exceeding $18,000, the interior has a level of appointment more on par with a Gulf Stream G650 than any car interior you will see. All of the paneling on the interior is custom including doors, dash, rear paneling, one-piece roof and the trunk. Most importantly, everything is covered in leather – everything. This is craftsman level stuff, and all the detail from the stitching to the patterns is choice. Even the roll bars have been totally covered with leather wrapped pads. Let’s not overlook the custom center console, Autometer gauge setup, and the nicely integrated switch panel. The work is stunning and the leather smell is intoxicating – what’s not to like?
It’s hard to stop drooling over the cosmetic features and look to the mechanical side of the car, but there is still quite a bit to see. The motor is blood thirty 509 Ci big block full of top of the line components. The mother beast is fed by a 2 x 4 tunnel ram intake with Speed Demon carbs – and the "option," a 200 shot of NOS… The transmission is a fully prepped race Turbo 400 with a reverse manual valve body. This bad kitty snaps of shifts, has a 3000 stall and allows total control of the transmission. The rear end is souped up Ford 9" with 4:30 Pro Gears built to handle all this motor has to deliver.
The exhaust system on the Camaro is a hand-built masterpiece starting at the headers. They are a stout 2.25" tubes that are custom fit, tig welded and then ceramic coated. These beauties flow into a monstrous 3.5" custom ceramic coated exhaust system that snakes down the undercarriage and meets two custom built mufflers before the evil duo terminates right under the rear of the car. Simply put, it’s damn sexy, perfectly executed, and puts out a killer sound. Enough said.
The Camaro has a tasty no-expense spared suspension package comprised of a custom 4-link set up and a wicked front section complete with tubular control arms and rack and pinion. The car handles on coil overs poised at all four corners and outside of those shocks, is a sweet set of Wilwood brakes.
The investment required to build a car with this level of detail is staggering. Enjoy this pro-street gem without the six-figure price tag.
