This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 Custom represents the perfect blend of factory-correct aesthetic and modern, high-performance engineering. Finished in the iconic and highly desirable Hugger Orange with classic black Z28 stripes, this vehicle has undergone a meticulous nut-and-bolt restoration that retains the car’s classic soul while significantly elevating its capability.
Under the hood, this Camaro is powered by a Fletcher-built 383ci V8 engine estimated at approximately 450 horsepower. Modern reliability is achieved through a Holley Terminator fuel injection management system, while power is effectively managed by a Tremec TKO 600 5-speed manual transmission paired with a hydraulic clutch. The engine breathes through Hooker Competition ceramic long-tube headers and a dual exhaust system with Flowmaster mufflers, providing an authoritative note that complements its performance.
The chassis has been comprehensively upgraded to handle the added power and provide a responsive, modern driving experience. It sits on staggered American Racing Forged VF481 wheels, supported by a Hotchkis suspension system featuring a performance front sway bar, 2-inch drop springs, and KYB Gas-A-Just shocks. Stopping power is provided by a Right Stuff 4-wheel disc brake system featuring black calipers and 12-inch drilled and slotted rotors.
Inside, the cabin features a beautifully restored custom black interior. The restoration balances vintage appeal with driver-focused enhancements, including TMI bucket seats, a factory-style COPO 140-mph speedometer, Autometer auxiliary console gauges, and an Autosound stereo system. The aesthetic is clean and period-correct, featuring tasteful wood trim and an SST shifter.
