Go big or go home, hat's the bottom line with this high-profile 1968 Chevrolet Camaro. With a pro-street vibe, t offers outrageous paint, stout small block V8, nd enough tire to make this street-legal hammer a legitimate threat on the street.When you're building a Pro Street machine, ubtlety is the last thing on your mind, nd with that thought at the forefront of their minds, he guys who built this one gave it a gorgeous coat of Hugger Orange. Underneath that paint, owever, here's ultra-straight sheetmetal that stretches taut over the Camaro's mechanicals, iving it a crouching look. There's also a 2-inch cowl induction hood and plenty of authentic Z/28 badges, oo, o it has the right look, specially with those white stripes running down its back. Is it a real Z/28? Who cares! It looks right, its right, nd with a blacked-out grille and ducktail spoiler, t certainly looks the part. The work was done a few years ago, ut it still looks fantastic, testament to the guys who did the work. If it's attention you crave, our car has arrived.You may have noticed the roll bar in back, ut for the most part, he interior is a fairly user-friendly place that gets the "street" part of pro-street exactly right. You'll note factory bucket seats, tock door panels, stock dash, nd even a factory steering column. Gauges are a combination of original dials with a column-mounted tach, actory auxiliary dials in the console, nd a trio of aftermarket dials over on the passenger's side. The horseshoe shifter is still surrounded by woodgraining and yes, here's even an AM/FM/CD stereo that sounds decent when you're not running hard. The trunk is full fuel cell, hich replaces the original tank and makes for improved safety on the track. Yes, he rest is a little scruffy, ut there's no major rot and a custom mat would pay big dividends in terms of eyeball appeal.The biggest part of Pro Street is the hardware, nd this car doesn't disappoint. The block is a 350 cubic inch Chevy V8 that's fully dressed for show as well as go. Starting with a bunch of chrome, ncluding valve covers and air cleaner, t's joined by a polished stainless firewall that gives it the perfect backdrop, s well as chrome details and some red anodized fittings to match. There's a big Holley 4-barrel carburetor atop an Edelbrock Victor Jr intake manifold, o throttle response is snappy and an Accel coil lights it up. Long-tube headers and a custom dual exhaust with turn-downs ahead of the axle add to the pro-street vibe, s does the modified rear suspension with leaf springs, oil-overs, nd trailing arms that work in conjunction with the original leaf springs. A TH400 3-speed automatic transmission doesn't flinch at the combination of horsepower and traction and the suspension actually rides quite well on those big tires. Weld wheels are really the only choice for a machine like this, nd they wear skinny 6.0-15s up front and N50-15 street slicks out back.Fast, oud, nd ready to rock, ou show up with this car and you're definitely The Man.
