The COMP Cams 40th Anniversary 1969 Camaro will be on display at the 2016 SEMA show in Las Vegas in the COMP Performance Group booth #23043. The Camaro was restored by the V8 Speed & Resto Shop in Red Bud, IL., and the complete restoration will be featured on several episodes of V8TV, airing on Rev’n, TUFF TV, The Action Channel, and online.
This great-looking 1969 Chevrolet Camaro car arrived at the V8 Speed and Resto Shop powered by a 540 cubic inch big block Chevy V8, but the owner wanted a better handling car to match the power. In the first round the V8 Team upgraded the chassis to a Detroit Speed subframe and rear QUADRALink setup, repaired some hidden rust, and fixed a ton of other little details on the car.
The list of parts added is impressive, and all engineered to work together. Forgeline Wheels, Baer Brakes, Toyo Tires, Holley EFI, C&R Racing cooling systems, AutoMeter gauges, and more go-fast and handling goodies were selected to achieve the final performance and handling goal. We removed the rowdy big-block Chevy V8 and retrofitted a modern 670 HP Chevrolet supercharged LT4 V8 engine to build an amazing Pro-Touring restomod.
This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro came to the V8 Speed & Resto Shop to have the body panels properly installed, then go through the bodywork and paint departments ultimately receiving a new paint job. The color is a custom mix Axalta paint we named “Midnight Magic”, and looks awfully close to black, but actually has a purple hue with flake. It turned out sharp! The customer will be completing the assembly of the car.
