1969 White Camaro Pro-Touring Coupe

Description

1969 White Camaro Pro-Touring CoupeUnbelievable Camaro Resto Mod!!White w/Red interior. Wegner 416/850hp LS V8, 5-speed manual transmission.This incredible ’69 Camaro was built by Chris Holstrom and is powered by a supercharged Wegner 850HP LS3 engine. Wegner delivered an LS3 stroked to 416 ci and topped with a Magnuson supercharger. It’s all coupled to a Rockland Standard Gear Tranzilla by way of a Quick Time bellhousing and a McLeod dual-disc clutch. That all drives a 3.89 gear on a Truetrac limited-slip... carrier in a Strange housing. A pair of 335/30 hides mounted to 19×12 Forgeline wheels deliver power to the ground. And features Baer brakes and Forgeline ZX3P wheels finished with Gunmetal centers and Polished outers. It all sits on an Art Morrison chassis and subframe for better geometry, C6 Corvette arms and knuckles, a power steering rack and Strange coil overs. A weld-in GT Sport rear subframe delivers a triangulated four-link setup and another pair of Strange coil overs. The car then went to Josh Ewing Kustoms for a proper fitting. More than tub the car to fit the barrel-like wheels, Ewing basically reshaped the whole back of the car, even altering the floors to tuck a full 3-inch exhaust system and DynoMax Ultra Flo mufflers. And if you haven’t noticed, the car sits low. Really low.To get the exhaust to come out where it did, the frame rail was cut at the coil over cross member and hand built piece was crafted that comes around the back of the wheel and follows the quarter-panel. “You could put the thing on a pedestal and display it as art in your house! Ewing then fabricated the new tail panel with the exhaust outlets. To make 285/35s on 18x10s fit up front, Ewing fabricated wheel tubs entirely from scratch. He also shaped closeout panels, including a radiator cover. But it’s the seemingly invisible things that really make the difference, like how he reshaped the hood structure to fit around the Magnuson supercharger.The custom leather interior by Jamie McFarland. They were going for a kind of high-end sports car’ feel on the inside. Bentley has a performance version where there’s no back seat—there’s a wraparound, sort of like a waterfall in the back. Trimmer Jamie McFarland at McFarland Custom Upholstery in Puyallup, Washington, replicated it in fiberglass. He also replicated Bentley’s topstitch diamond pattern in all the inserts, including the heavily modified Corbeau A4 seats. McFarland also wrapped the modified Marquez dash. It houses a Dakota Digital VHX-1200 insert. Josh Ewing showed the breadth of his metalworking skills by whittling a housing to hold a set of Ford GT switches in the likeness of the Restomod Air Pro Touring vents.The nice thing is that it all works. It idles like a modern car and you can drive it anywhere. It’s smooth until you put your foot in it. Then you better hold on! A lot of guys can’t use half the power they say they have, but because of that Morrison chassis, the power gets put to the ground!Vehicle: 1969 CamaroEngine Type: LS3 Displacement: 416 ci Bore: 4.065 inches Stroke: 4.000 inches Cylinder Heads: CNC-ported GM LSARotating Assembly: Callies DragonSlayer keyed crank and Ultra connecting rodsValvetrain: Comp Cams roller tappets, pushrods, trunnion-style rocker arms; Manley valves, springs, and retainersCamshaft: Comp (specs undisclosed)Induction: 106mm cable-driven throttle body, Magnuson supercharger, 85-lb/hr injectors, GM Performance ECUExhaust: Stainless Works headers with 3-inch pipes and DynoMax Ultra Flo mufflersAncillaries: AutoRad aluminum radiator, SPAL electric cooling fans, Wegner accessory and supercharger drive system, Clayton Machine Works rocker coversOutput: 849 hp at 6,800 rpm, 802 lb-ft torque at 5,100 rpmBuilt by: Wegner MotorsportsDrivetrain Transmission: Rockland Standard Gear Tranzilla five-speed Rear Axle: 9-inch style, Art Morrison Enterprises, Strange Engineering case with Truetrac carrier and 3.89:1 gears; 31-spline axlesChassis Front Suspension: Art Morrison Enterprises clip with C6 Corvette control arms and knuckles, power-assist steering rack, splined antiroll bar, Strange coilover dampers Rear Suspension: Art Morrison Enterprises weld-in clip with triangulated four-link, antiroll bar, Strange coilover dampers Brakes: Baer 14-inch rotors, six-piston calipersWheels & Tires Wheels: Forgeline RB3C 18×10 front, 19×12 rear (with exposed hardware) Tires: Nitto NT05 285/35 front, 335/30 rearInterior Upholstery: Jamie McFarland, McFarland Custom Upholstery (Puyallup, WA) Seats: Modified Corbeau A4Steering: ididit tilt column, MOMO Trek wheelShifter: Bowler Performance TransmissionsDash: Marquez hand-laid fiberglassInstrumentation: Dakota Digital VHX-1200Accessories: Ford GT switches with custom bezel by Josh Ewing, Vintage Air climate-control, Restomod Air VentsExterior Bodywork: Fabricated trunk floors, wheeltubs, front inner fender panels, and engine compartment panels by Josh Ewing Prep and Paint: Sumner Collision (Sumner, WA) Hood: GM cowl-induction-style, internal structure modified to fit supercharger by Josh Ewing Accessories: Ringbrothers door handles, hood latch, hood and trunk hinges; Marquez taillights and doorjamb vents; Spoilers by Randy carbon-fiber splitter; Josh Ewing fuel filler
