1969 Camaro RS Resto-Mod LS3

1969 Chevrolet Camaro RS

This is a one of a kind Resto-Mod Camaro built by the best,
To start a Detroit Speed Inc. Mini-Tub kit was installed in order to accommodate the 18x11 American Racing VF502 Forged satin-finish wheels and 295/40 Falken Azenis rubber. A CA Chassisworks g-Bar rear coilover suspension was dialed in with a Chassisworks Ultimate Pro Touring coilover system up front by way of the g-Machine front subframe. Falken 275/35 Azenis rubber wrap around the 18x9 American Racing VF502 wheels up front. Double-adjustable VariShock Quickset-2 coilover shocks reside on all four corners, ensuring this Pro Touring ride travels smoothly and stays on track.
Under the hood lays a Chevrolet Performance 376ci (6.2L) LS3 crate engine. The aluminum block plays home to L92-type rectangular port heads, hypereutectic aluminum pistons, nodular iron crankshaft, and powdered metal connecting rods. The high-revving LS delivers a stout 430 hp at 5,900 rpm with 425 lb-ft of torque coming in at 4,600 rpm.
A 4L65E transmission handles shifting duties while an Inland Empire Driveline aluminum driveshaft sends twist to a Drive Train Specialties-supplied Truetrac posi and Strange Engineering third member stuffed inside the Chassisworks FAB9 housing.
Scott Bonowski and the crew at Hot Rods & Hobbies in Signal Hill, California, took over final assembly and filled in the sheetmetal seams and gapped the body to perfection before laying down the Axalta Cromax sealer, single-stage Tuxedo Black Magic Mirror topcoat, and Cromax Pro coat and clear. The Cromax Silver “hockey stick stripe” gives the car a sporty attitude and a nod to performance. No doubt they pulled off a finish that far exceeds what the factory turned out back in 1969.
I have included the Super Chevy Magazine article below detailing the craftsmanship and care that went into building this beautiful piece of American history:
