What's better than a 1969 Chevy Camaro RS/SS? How about a genuine X11 car that has been upgraded to modern LS1 power, bold paint, and more modern technology than when it left the factory...that's what's truly superior.There are zero worries that anyone will look at this coupe and think it's bone stock. There were some yellows on the '69 Camaro color palette, but the luster you get off of the modern paint instantly let's everyone know this is more than just straight from the factory. The investment in plenty of modern clearcoat even extends to the pained black dual stripes to give you a package that leaves an impression no matter if it's showcased in the sunlight, or moonlight. And speaking of nighttime, if you choose, you're going to love cruising this coupe in the dark, because the multi-color LED lights under the car are a cool way to announce that this is a true restomod. But even without the modern lights, this is an intimidating package. You get the RS's blacked-out grille with hidden headlights, the power bulge of the cowl induction hood, and the full length D80 rear spoiler all true hallmarks of the best first-gen Camaros. Inside is very cool but subtle mixture of modern and original styles. The best place to see this is on the front seats. These buckets look like premium stock, but the condition is so nice you know there was some real investment in new covers. Plus, the rear looks great with the custom yellow SS stitching. You get the desirable factory center console that houses icons like the horseshoe shifter and quad auxiliary gauge package with some custom touches of carbon fiber. Above that is an AM/FM/CD stereo. And the treats for the driver don't end there. You get a custom wood and aluminum sports steering wheel with a Chevy bow tie etched in the center. Beyond that are the white-faced Dakota Digital gauges that provide a clear view of the large speedo and tach. This kind of setup is perfectly paired for the highly desireable upgrade under the hood.While you'll love showing off the interior and exterior, we bet it's the engine bay that you're going to be showcasing the most. The yellow and black color scheme that's been everywhere on this car so far is repeated under the hood with dark black hoses and fender walls joined by the bright yellow firewall. And of course, everyone will also instantly marvel at the custom engine covers and alternator that adds a cool wet look to the exterior yellow. But more than just appearance, you are looking at a modern fuel-injected powerplant. The heart of this beast is an upgraded 5.7-liter LS1 V8. Beyond just adding a naturally high performance motor, this one has been upgraded with go-fast goodies. It inhales deeply from Spectre intake, and the V8 exhales with authority through headers connected to a stainless steel dual exhaust with performance X-pipe construction. But besides just having a wicked growl, it can keep cool while running hard thanks to an aluminum radiator and electric fan. Components like that hint at a very thoughtful total build. So does the 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission that's stout enough to handle all the power, and also it provides overdrive cruising. Plus, you get power steering, front disc brakes, and grippy Hankook low profile tires mounted on those iconic Torq Thrust wheels. All this makes it the perfect classic for all occasions.There was a lot of time, inspiration, and money invested into making this Camaro so lustworthy. It's all the iconic pieces you love about a first-generation coupe, backed up by a beastly fuel-injected heart. If you're quick enough to get here first, this turnkey restomod is ready for the open road. Call now!!
