This is a cool classic that's 35 years in the making. The exterior looks like a first-generation Camaro, but beneath the custom bodywork is a 2002 Chevrolet Camaro convertible. So you get all the iconic design lines, and it's now backed by a powerful LS1 V8, modern suspension, six-speed transmission, and so many more great upgrades. You're looking at a very expensive modification to get the best of both worlds. A first glace it just appears like you... have the ultimate dream 1969 Camaro droptop. After all, these icons looked the best in legendary Hugger Orange with the proper Z/28 dual stripes, ducktail spoiler, correct badging, and cowl induction hood. And the hidden headlights of the RS package is the ultimate symbol of a cool Camaro. But then you look a bit closer. This one sits a bit lower... it looks a bit wider... and the lines just seem even sleeker. There's an extra presence here that is subtle, but it's enough to have every enthusiast peak up as their subconscious starts taking notice. And that's even before we all realize it's wearing the large chrome wheels from a C6 Corvette Grand Sport. Inside the visual trickery continues with the custom orange leather and houndstooth seats borrowed from the ultra-exclusive '69 pace car. But as you look at their button-top design it becomes clear that these front buckets have far better bolstering than anything that came out of the 1960s. And when you sit down in them, you get to see all the best upgrades that come on a modern classic like this. You have a huge features list that includes power locks, dual airbags, cruise control, tilt wheel, and power seats. And above the above the AM/FM/CD stereo, the 2002 Camaros also received a special 35th Anniversary badge â€" a very cool reminder of this special one's full-circle history. But the best comfort features are the combination of the power windows and power convertible top. It means you never have to leave the driver's seat to go from enclosed luxury to a wind-in-your-hair experience. And since the air conditioning is blowing cold, you can share this cool interior with the world all summer long without breaking a sweat. What makes this kind of restomod so special is the fuel-injected power under the hood. The 5.7-liter LS1 V8 is a modern legend for delivering serious power, and the ultra low mileage and constant care means you can proudly show this engine bay off every weekend. Then again, you're probably going to have too much fun driving this one to stop at any events. That's because the powerhouse motor is making even more grunt and rumble thanks to the addition of headers and new stainless exhaust. You take full control of the modern V8 and its enhanced soundtrack via the T56 six-speed manual transmission with Hurst shifter and 4:10 gears. Plus, you're going to want to check out the undercarriage photos. There you'll see beefy upgrades such as the tubular A-arm front suspension and reinforced rear end. Plus, with drilled & slotted four-wheel disc brakes and grippy Nitto NT555 tires, you are going to be able to easily out maneuver all the '69 and '02 Camaros out there. Iconic lines meet modern thunderous power. This is one of those total packages that will have people talking long after you've driven away. This awesome Camaro has a clear title but it was branded "salvage" in its history due to the donor car having a salvage title before it was rebuilt into its current form. So if you're ready for all eyes to be on you, call today!
