There's definitely an elusive combination that makes some cars great, and you just know it the moment you see them. This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro RS nails it, ranging from a great color combination to a modern fuel-injected small block with an six-speed gearbox. It's a restomod/pro touring/exotic Camaro that amplifies the iconic parts you love and adds new Chevy heritage to become the ready to be both shown off and tear up the streets.<We could start by telling you this is a code-71 Le Mans Blue car from the factory, but the paint here is so much better than what they offered. Sure the color looks right, but when the sunlight hits it the depth of the clearcoat and the professional application of the metallic paint, well, crowds will form. When you've invested in a blue this shiny, it's also a good thing to invest in precision straight panels like these. The finishing touch is chrome and brightwork that's so new, it can rival the terrific paint for shine. This one has all the right Super Sport touches like the blacked-out grille, badging, cowl induction hood, ducktail spoiler, and white painted dual SS stripes. There's even the iconic RS hidden headlights, but you know the total package is far from stock. One look at the 18-inch alloy wheels and those red calipers behind them, and you instantly know this one is truly special.<Step inside, and this is the perfect blend of vintage and new. It starts with the iconic houndstooth bucket seats that look great and offer the comfort of a cloth insert. The carpets, dash, and door panels also are quite nice in a coordinating black. There's even some premium woodgrain on the center console and around the glovebox. The driver gets a cool three-spoke chrome steering wheel and upgraded petals. Beyond that is the correct '69 gage panel, including optional tach and a clock that's still ticking away. You even get the iconic quad gauge panel at the base of the console. You deserve modern tunes when cruising in a Camaro this cool, so an AM/FM/CD player has been hidden in the glovebox. But your favorite soundtrack might not come from the speakers...after all, have you counted the gears on the shifter yet?<The heart of this beast is an upgraded fuel-injected 5.7-liter LS1 with 380+HP. You'll love popping the hood at all the car shows and watching everyone marvel at the modern V8 and custom painted engine cover. But beyond just adding a Corvette motor, this one has been upgraded with go-fast goodies. It inhales deeply from a cold air intake, and the V8 exhales with authority through headers connected to a three-inch stainless steel dual exhaust with performance X-pipe construction. But besides just having a wicked growl, it can keep cool while running hard thanks to an aluminum radiator and electric fan. This V8 screamer needs stout parts to get all the power to the ground. This why you have the complete control of a six-speed manual transmission, and that feeds a stout 12-bolt rear end. But all this power is nothing without control. That's where features like power steering with upgrade quick ratio steering box, four-wheel disc brakes, and modern Falkin Ziex tires become so crucial.<There was a lot of time, inspiration, and money invested into making this Camaro so lustworthy. It's all the iconic pieces you love about a first-generation coupe backed up the best in modern components. If you're quick enough to get here first, this turnkey restomod is ready for the open road.
