700 HP 1969 Camaro 540 BBC Detroit Speed Suspension and Holley EFI At V8 Speed & Resto
Some say these cars are never finished, and that holds true especially when a modified car changes hands. In this case, our customer purchased this killer 1969 Chevrolet Camaro as a freshly completed Pro-Touring machine complete with a slick silver paint job and a very cool red leather interior, but the 700+ HP 540-cube Shafiroff big block Chevy and 6-speed T-56 Magnum transmission are a bit much for the otherwise stock suspension. The huge torque easily overpowers the rear tires, and the handling isn’t up to the expectations of the owner. So, the car was sent to the V8 Speed & Resto Shop so our crew could take the suspension, rear axle, wheels, tires, brakes, and a few other areas of the car to the next level. The big challenge – installing a complete Detroit Speed QUADRALink rear suspension and front subframe, wheel tubs, Currie Enterprises rear axle, Forgeline wheels, Toyo Tires, Holley EFI, and more without damaging the beautiful silver paint or messing up the body panel fit. After all, something that looks this good should have the moves to match!

The wing on this car is made out of a tin roof from an old barn and it's powered by a ford big block on a tube chassie, that's a pretty cool combination! Keeping the car in a rat style look just gives it more personality. It might not be the fastest, nor the prettiest, but we love it!

Very nice... we love Mopar!! What about you?The second generation Chevy II is in show rooms for the 1966 model year ans is now partially based on the Super #Nova concept vehicle. The Nova SS standard equipment is a 194 cu in inline six cylinder engine, but the full arsenal of Chevrolet large and small blocks is available for the Nova SS. The Base SS version would cost just $159.00 more than the entry level 400 version in 1966.
