What’s got over 690 Horsepower and will be on display at the Car Craft Magazine Summer Nationals Pro Builder’s Shootout in Milwaukee this weekend and then at the Rev’n Rods & Heartland Music Tour – Southaven, MS event next week? The COMP Cams Camaro built at the V8 Speed & Resto Shop! We’re getting it ready for a big week… we hope you come see it in person!
Mike Clarke and Kevin Oeste provide on-scene coverage of the 2016 Car Craft Magazine Summer Nationals in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The V8 Speed and Resto Shop team was invited to display the freshly 1969 COMP Cams Camaro in the Pro Builders Shootout and Mike and Kev held court.
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!
