Vehicle Description
This is the right way to build a restomod F-body. Take an
absolutely gorgeous 1969 Camaro and cover it with show-stopping
custom Green Pearl paint from end-to-end and 'ghost' hockey stick
stripes embedded down the profiles. Add a brutally powerful LSA
6.2L Supercharged V8 crate motor that is spec'd for a ZL1, a Tremec
6-speed gearbox, and a pavement-hugging suspension. Finish with a
sporty and luxurious interior that keeps the spirit of what was
great about the original design and combines it with the best in
modern tech. And with only 2,037 miles on the build, this car is
ready to dominate for years to come.
The unique Green Pearl Metallic paint (a custom mix of Toyota paint
based loosely on their Frosty Green Pearl Metallic shade) is the
first thing that grabs you about this car, but it isn't the only
thing that's impressive. Calling it just Green Pearl seems like an
oversimplification if we're honest, because upon closer examination
you can see brilliant hidden notes of black, gray, and maybe even a
little tan directly under the bright lights. The resulting
cacophony of color is flat-out gorgeous, managing to make the car
look like a sinister street brawler and aesthetic show-car marvel
at the same time. Injected Customs LLC did all the work on the body
(and most of the car for that matter), and they did it all to an
extremely high level. Starting with a super-clean '69 body, they
then smoothed the drip-rails and door handles, replaced the side
mirrors with custom-mounted Buick pieces, and reworked the original
fitment of all the fenders, doors, and gaps to make everything much
tighter and precise than when the car was new. Smoothed side-marks
were custom fit on the body as well, both bumpers were
sectioned/shortened and moved closer to the body, and a '69 Trans
AM rear spoiler was custom fit atop the decklid. Up front there's a
chin spoiler and lower valance that looks killer, a bespoke grille
and electric hide-away lights, and an aftermarket cowl induction
hood with Fesler billet hinges. Everything works together perfectly
and shows the result of countless hours of labor-intensive
ministrations with a deep shine and excellent finish that work for
a distortion-free surface. On vividly painted cars, all the little
things are important, and even the smallest of details are
excellent here. With that in mind, the killer look of this restomod
is punctuated by the 'ghosted' hockey stick stripes that are buried
under the clearcoat - just subtle enough that you have to look real
close to find them.
Inside, the Beige interior was given a comprehensive makeover,
starting with a set of Corbeau racing seats wrapped in custom
leather-and-sued materials that are found throughout the cabin.
Marques Design engineered the matching door panels, headliner,
package tray, and center console, and a 1967 Camaro dashboard
swapped-in, painted to match the body, and loaded with high-end
goodies. There's also a matching console that was created just for
this car, also wrapped in that high-end upholstery, and houses the
shifter for the Tremec 6-speed manual below, A/C controls and
vents, and the switches for the power windows. Against the vivid
Frost Green paint this interior really works well, and there's
nothing in there that looks out of place despite the blend of
modern components. Everything's new, of course, and they spent the
long dollar on the best parts money could buy. Nu Vintage made-up
the custom gauge cluster you see just beyond that suede-wrapped
bespoke steering wheel, and those digital/analog units do a great
job keeping an eye on the organized violence under the hood. To
rein in all that power, the boys from I.C. made a custom roll cage
for the entire car, and to make it fit the back seat was
hand-formed to match the rest of the cabin. Of course, all the
metal was thermalined before the interior went in, and that tight
insulation means the Audison Bluetooth System and all those
competition-style JL Audio speakers sound wicked inside. The
carpets are modern shorthair, the headliner is custom, and even the
trunk was finished to show standards - nothing was overlooked in
this one-of-a-kind build.
Under the hood, the stout LSA 6.2L Supercharged V8 GM crate motor
was originally pegged for the Camaro ZL1 at 600HP, but after the
pros at I.C. got through with it, it's pumping over 700HP and 685
lb.-ft. of torque. Quite frankly, there's not enough space here to
go through all of the top-of-the-line attributes of this insane
fuel-injected motor, but some of the highlights include a beefed-up
supercharger with large injectors, a bigger ZL1 intercooler, and a
one-off exhaust with custom headers running to a twin X-pipe
Flowmaster setup. The engine bay itself is a work of art, with
extreme organization that would make the OCD Institute blush, and
beautifully painted pieces everywhere you look. That powerful motor
is managed by a quick-shifting Tremec T-56 Magnum 6-speed manual
with a McLeod ceramic twin-disk clutch and QuickTime bell housing,
and it spins a PST carbon-fiber driveshaft straight into a built
Ford Racing 9-inch rear end with a billet aluminum Strange 3rd
member 33 spline billet axles. Underneath, it's finished for show
and ready for combat with a custom Art Morrison chassis, lots of
ZL1 suspension goodies up front, and a custom Detroit Speed 4-link
rear end. The power steering system is from a ZL1 as well, and the
power 4-wheel disc brakes are Wilwood units with slotted carbon
ceramic rotors. All that tech is neatly hidden behind a set of
killer-looking alloys, staggered on a set of 255/35/19 front and
335/30/20 rear Michelin Pilots that fill the fenders perfectly and
set the aggressive stance.
Even in this lengthy narrative, we only covered half of what this
Camaro Restomod has to offer. With only 2,037 on the build, maybe
you can be the one that tells its story for years to come. Call
