Who wouldn't love a Lemans Blue '69 Camaro that's powered by a 489 cu in. Big Block Chevy fully custom built and dyno-tuned by Jensen's Engine Technologies! It's backed by a Tremec TKO 5-Speed Manual Transmission that shatters the Earth's Crust especially at wide-open throttle! Don't underestimate the power of an old-school Big Block...assembled with Brodix High Performance Aluminum Cylinder Heads, Comp's XTREME Energy Solid Flat Tappet Camshaft, and MSD 6AL Ignition, the torque of this engine is definitely not for the faint of heart! Despite the talk about its performance capabilities, this car still runs on pump gas and is super street friendly!

Equipped with Power Steering and Wilwood Front Disc Brakes, you know you can not only go fast but be able to drive it comfortably like a modern car. The full custom Auto Meter gauge cluster kit makes it so much easier to drive on the road than factory gauges. For one you can now see at night as all of the gauges are backlit with high-powered light bulbs! They are super responsive and accurate unlike many cars equipped with the factory mechanical gauges that wear out over the many years. This car also comes with a 3" Binder of Receipts and Documents that were kept during the car's build! Below are some photos of what you get!

The Takeaway:
Please keep in mind that this car is a complete restomod with none of the factory drive-train components and therefore cannot verify it to be an original RS/SS, RS, or SS born car. Although this car looks absolutely stunning, please understand that this is almost a 50 year old car with imperfections. As with all classic cars, it may need a few odds and ends down the road as you begin to drive it more often but still nonetheless an iconic and one of the most sought-after classic cars that you will be proud to own and very happy to drive in!
