----------

Have you been paying attention to first generation Camaro sales? Great cars are being snatched up for strong money and big returns almost as fast as they hit our showroom! At RK Motors Charlotte, we retail more first class Chevys than anyone in the world. And in the second half of 2014, we sold EIGHT first generation Camaros to eight very satisfied owners. But here's the kicker: none of those classics we're quite as striking as this authentic, LeMans Blue Super Sport. And when you throw in the car's professional, paint shop-fresh restoration, its $60K asking price becomes a tremendous value! If you're a serious pony car enthusiast who's looking for a clean, correctly sorted showpiece, you're staring at your next car!

BODYWORK/TRIM

Take a close look at this striking Super Sport and you'll feel like you've stepped right back in time. The car's clean restoration, conducted by Camaro Specialty of Charlotte, North Carolina, hides a straight body under correct LeMans Blue 2-stage that was sourced from the pros at PPG. All that steel goodwill is topped by a pair of black hockey stripes, which foretell exactly the asphalt patterns the car's vicious big block aims to paint. And traditional RS/SS aesthetics are complemented with dual chrome mirrors, a ZL-2 cowl induction hood, optional quarter trim and a correct D80 spoiler package.

ENGINE

If you wanted to factory-order 1969's top-of-the-line Camaro, you had one option: 396 cubic inches of big block Detroit iron! But, it ain't '69 anymore, and Chevrolet's ultimate large-displacement offering eventually punched out 454 cubic inches. A culmination of those two numbers is exactly what you'll find under this coupe's raised hood: 454 cubic inches of Chevrolet big block that's cleverly disguised as an L78 396. At the top of the mill, a black, single-snorkel air cleaner funnels wind into a big Holley carburetor that's threaded to a familiar Winters intake. Spotless chrome valve covers reflect fresh Packard TV R Suppression cables above iron heads and fully restored exhaust manifolds. At the back of those valve covers, a traditional points distributor rides between a rebuilt wiper motor, a new coil and a fresh brake booster. And a heavy duty radiator sends coolant around a shrouded fan via reproduction GM hoses and new tower clamps. Naturally, this coupe's impressive engine bay, comprised of smooth, Satin Black fenders, correct stamps and new, factory-accurate decals, is clean and 100% detailed. The Chevy Orange block features a typical array of stainless lines and textured ancillary pieces. And everything, from the car's factory power steering to its reproduction Delco battery, displays an overall excellent appearance.

DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION

Under this awesome F1 you'll find a factory-fresh chassis and super solid floorpans that, like the car's straight exterior panels and storied engine, have been restored to the absolute highest standards. The torque-rich big block spins a rugged Muncie 4-speed that's connected to a correct 12-bolt posi-traction rear end and tough 3.73 gears. Holding that legendary drivetrain off the ground is a fully rebuilt suspension, which sports 100% factory specifications. Included in that suspension is correct, factory-optioned power steering and mandatory power front disc and rear drum brakes. Inside those brakes, an aluminized, true-dual exhaust system sends charred dinosaurs through a transversely mounted muffler and correct, bare tail pipes. And at the corners of those pipes, familiar Rally wheels spin 245/60R15 BF Goodrich Radial T/As around stainless trim rings and turbine center caps

INTERIOR

Inside this cool Chevy you'll find a correct Deluxe Black Houndstooth interior that has to be one of the most stylish cockpits ever created. Traditional front bucket and rear bench seats, which feature deluxe headrests, frame a wood-trimmed console that's fitted with a chrome Hurst shifter and 4-pack accessory gauges. A pliable, wood-trimmed dash, which flows in to Deluxe door panels, hangs rebuilt telemetry over a correct Delco AM radio. In front of the driver, a handsome Rally wheel spins around a tilt steering column. Thick floor mats protect like-new carpet. And behind the passengers, a new mat, new jack and full-size spare tire inhabit a fully restored trunk.
