1969 CHEVROLET CAMARO RESTO MOD

572/620 HP, 5-SPEED

This outstanding 1969 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS convertible is a must-have for the diehard Chevy lover looking for vintage looks and modern performance. Combining iconic Hugger Orange with Black stripes, interior and top (custom made from Mercedes-Benz fabric!), it has front and rear spoilers, a cowl induction hood, American Racing Torque Thrust wheels and the full complement of Rally Sport exterior trim including hideaway headlights.

Trimmed with rare Orange houndstooth seat inserts, the Black Z87 Custom interior is largely stock, but it now boasts a custom sound system with iPod connectivity. There is big news beneath the surface in a GM Performance 572/620 HP big block engine backed by a Tremec 5-speed and 9-inch True track rear end, joined on the list of special equipment by Chris Alston Chassisworks suspension, power rack and pinion steering, 4-wheel disc brakes and Vintage Air.
