This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro coupe was acquired by the current owner in 2015 and modified as part of a multi-year build completed by Vintage Fabrication of Independence, Missouri. It wears custom bodywork finished in orange with silver accents and features a transparent hood window, headlights with halo rings, and Lamborghini-style taillights. Inside, Teas Design low-back bucket seats trimmed in black Ultraleather are accompanied by a custom aluminum dash and center console as well as a Billet Specialties steering wheel, Dakota Digital instrumentation, VintageAir climate Control, and a RideTech roll bar. Power is supplied by a 6.2-liter LS9 Connect & Cruise V8 crate engine linked with a Bowler Transmissions–modified 4L80E four-speed automatic transmission and a Strange Engineering center section with a limited-slip differential. Further modifications include Detroit Speed front and Heidts rear independent suspension setups along with an aftermarket chassis, JRi double-adjustable coilovers, Wilwood disc brakes, and staggered B-Forged alloy wheels. This modified Camaro coupe is now offered by the seller on behalf of the owner with a framed Super Chevy magazine feature and a clean California title.
Body modifications performed by Vintage Fabrication involved raising the nose and quarter panels, extending the rocker panels, and adding a 1971 Cuda–sourced rear bumper along with a custom tail panel and rear diffuser. The car is finished in orange with a silver center stripe and lower-body accents. Aftermarket fifth-generation Camaro–look headlights are paired with Lamborghini-style taillights out back, and the windshield, rear glass, and door handles are flush mounted. Further details include a billet grille and a Dynacorn hood with a scoop and a transparent window as well as a custom front spoiler and NASCAR-style rear spoiler.
The 18″ front and 20″ rear B-Forged 530 RL wheels are mounted with 245/40 front and 315/35 rear Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. The car rides on an independent suspension with Detroit Speed front spindles and tubular A-arms along with a Heidts Pro-G rear setup. JRi double-adjustable coilovers are fitted at all four corners, and Detroit Speed mini tubs have been added out back. Wilwood six-piston front brake calipers and 14″ multi-piece rotors are paired with inboard-mounted four-piston rear calipers over 13″ discs out back.
The cabin houses low-back bucket seats from Teas Design trimmed in black Ultraleather with orange stitching, which extends to the door panels. A custom aluminum dash and center console are accompanied by a RideTech bolt-in roll bar with door bars, and further details include VintageAir climate control, a Pioneer touchscreen head unit, an aftermarket stereo, and power windows and door locks.
A Billet Specialties split-spoke steering wheel fronts Dakota Digital VHX instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer and an 8k-rpm tachometer with inset auxiliary gauges and LCD displays. The digital odometer shows 288 miles, and total mileage is unknown.
The 6.2-liter LS9 Connect & Cruise V8 crate engine is fitted with a custom billet engine cover along with a six-quart Holley oil pan and an Edelbrock water pump. An Autorad 3″ aluminum radiator with an electric puller fan has been added, and the custom dual exhaust system is comprised of Detroit Speed four-into-one headers emptying into 3″ stainless-steel tubing, a crossover pipe, and dual Borla mufflers.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Bowler Transmissions–modified 4L80E four-speed automatic transmission, an Inland Empire driveshaft, and a Strange Engineering center section with a limited-slip differential and 3.73:1 gearing. A Coan Racing torque converter has also been added along with an aftermarket chassis, and the floorpan was stiffened utilizing a set of through-floor frame connectors.
The car was featured on the cover of the January 2017 issue of Super Chevy magazine, and a framed poster of the article is included in the sale.
