This 1969 Camaro, is a fresh build that was completed in October 2015. Exceptionally well finished and thoughtfully equipped, the car is essentially stock in appearance, incorporating a Rally Sport front grille with hideaway headlights and the black sills, bright wheel arch, quarter louver and drip-rail trim, blacked-out tail panel, bright tail light trim and low-mounted reverse lights.

The look is classic Camaro, but the mechanicals are 21st century, combining a GM Performance LS3/430 HP E-ROD crate engine with a 6-speed manual transmission and 9-inch Ford third member. Finished in 1969 LeMans Blue paint with a Black interior, it also features a rear spoiler and cowl-induction hood, stainless steel fuel tank, Be Cool aluminum radiator, American Autowire wiring harness, LED tail lights, new tinted glass, new or freshly polished bright trim, a trunk-mounted battery and delayed wipers.

In addition to Baer 4-wheel disc brakes with 14-inch 6-piston front and 13-inch 4-piston rear rotors, a Detroit Speed subframe and Quadralink suspension, mini-tubbed rear wheel wells were installed to accommodate the extra-wide Budnik 18-by-12-inch rear wheels and BF Goodrich G-Force T/A Radial tires (18-by-10-inch units are used up front). The black interior is fitted with sharp leather upholstery with houndstooth cloth seat inserts that evoke the original and is upgraded with new Daytona-style carpeting, custom door panels, tilt steering column, Dakota Digital VHX instruments and Vintage Air climate control.
