PRO STREET, 454 BIG BLOCK, DUAL QUAD, BLOWN, TUBBED, 4 LINK REAR, 700R4...NASTY!

1969 Chevrolet Camaro

This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro makes a pretty convincing argument for the rebirth of pro-street. With a blown big block, iant tires, nd a wicked stance, t screams race car, ut the cloth interior full of creature comforts begs to differ. Brutally fast yet docile enough for your sister to drive, his might be the nastiest street-legal car we've featured yet.When you build a car that looks this brutal, ou can pretty much forego all the usual high-performance warning signals. That means skipping the SS stripes and letting the car speak for itself. And speak it does! You'll note that the monochromatic look is enhanced by shaved door handles and custom side mirrors blended with factory details like the ducktail spoiler out back. The bright blue metallic paint seems to glow in the sunlight and the sheetmetal underneath is almost entirely new, o making it laser-straight was easy. A lift-off fiberglass hood was seriously modified to clear the towering blower assembly and snaps into place with a set of hood pins working as designed. Body-colored bumpers and stainless trim enhance the monochromatic look and yes, he rear window was cleverly finished to look like the famous bowtie emblem. Oh, nd just for the traditionalists, ou'll note that the tail panel is blacked out, s it should be on any SS with a big block.

When you look inside, ou'll probably recognize some of the race-bred components, ut you'll be more impressed by the level of civility. Sure, here are door bars for the cage, ut comfortable cloth buckets mean that once you're inside, t is an easy place to spend some time. Full carpets with sound-deadening material mean that you can drive around without your earplugs and it doesn't get hot inside like in a race car. The dash has obviously been extensively reworked and includes a full array of Auto Meter Ultra Light gauges, nd there's a custom center console with a trick gated shifter form a late-model car. A tilt steering column, M/FM/CD stereo, nd a fully upholstered rear compartment add to the user-friendly nature of the car. There's a big subwoofer and a bottle of nitrous for show back there, oo, bit of cognitive dissonance that practically defines this car. There's not much room left in the trunk, hat with those giant wheel tubs, he down bars from the cage, nd a custom fuel cell, ut at this point it probably doesn't even matter.

The heart of the beast is a 454 cubic inch Chevy V8 topped by a Weiand 6-71 and a pair of 550 CFM Demon carburetors. That snarky air scoop with color-matched throttle blades is certainly intimidating on the street, nd the looks are nothing compared to the SOUND! Chevy Orange paint, bit of chrome dress-up, nd race-grade hardware and equipment further reinforce the idea that this is a race car for the street. A built 700R4 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission tames the beast a bit with a relaxed overdrive gear for cruising, ven with 4.88s in the narrowed rear end. Long-tube headers, custom exhaust system, nd a 4-link rear suspension give it the tools required to dominate on the street, nd you can't argue with way it sits. Polished Weld alloy wheels carry 205/60/15 Goodyear tires up front and 29x18.5-15 Mickey Thompsons out back for the perfect pro-street stance.

With over 600 horsepower on tap, his car definitely has the moves, ut thanks to lots of careful engineering, t's also user-friendly and comfortable. Call today!
