Special thanks to Car Craft Magazine for including the V8 Speed & Resto Shop built ZR9 Camaro in the August, 2015 issue! They printed the Carter Hickman Designs rendering of the car, thanks Carter for the awesome work! We’re honored to be among the best in the biz! Thanks again!
Sometimes it’s advantageous to take over a project than to start from scratch. In this case, the customer wanted a cool ‘69 Camaro, and we happened to find him one that was already undergoing a restoration. The owner of this clean Arizona car changed his mind and decided to sell his project, so we had the car shipped to the V8 Speed & Resto Shop in Red Bud, IL, where it transformed into the Pro-Touring Camaro the new owner has always wanted. Features include a Holley Terminator EFI system, Vintage Air A/C, Scat seats, restoration parts from Classic Industries, Axalta paint, ARP engine hardware, COMP cam, and much more.

We are all very excited here at V8TV and the V8 Speed & Resto Shop, as we’ve received the high honor of being chosen to restore the 1969 Chevrolet Camaro belonging to COMP Cams! They’ve had the car for many years, and 2016 marked the 40th Anniversary of COMP Cams, so they wanted the car freshened up for the milestone year. We’ll be documenting the restoration of the car along the way, both in photos and video.
Plans for the car include a FAST EFI equipped LS engine mated to a TCI 6X 6-speed automatic transmission, a Heidt’s suspension system, updated wheels, tires, and brakes, and a fresh paint job… among many other details. Although the car will retain it’s black-and-white theme, it will have a red pinstripe on the SS stripes, updated wheels to go with the new suspension, and a few other subtle tricks here and there. It’s going to be a stunner!
Our crew is ready to make it happen, and we’re proud to work with one of the industry icons to bring this significant car up-to-date. Follow along in the photo gallery, videos, and a build thread on this slick ’69!
