When it comes to the legendary First Generation Camaro, there are two paths to automotive bliss: the thrill of a modified beast or the nostalgic embrace of an all-original restored beauty. On one hand, the modified Camaro roars with a symphony of aftermarket upgrades, pushing the boundaries of performance and turning heads at every corner. It’s a 600 HP LSA-powered adrenaline rush, a symphony of power and customization. On the other hand, the all-original restored Camaro takes us back in time, preserving the car’s heritage and embodying the pure essence of the era. It’s a sentimental journey, a reminder of the timeless elegance that captivated hearts decades ago. Whether you crave heart-pounding power or the allure of history, each Chevrolet Camaro offers a unique driving experience catered to your desires. So, which side of the Camaro coin will you choose?

This amazing custom blended metallic blue 2-stage paint was formulated by V8 Speed and Resto Shop painter Jeff Wittlich before he sprayed it on a 1969 Chevrolet Corvette Roadster we’re restoring in the shop. These photos are “straight out of the gun”, meaning the paint has not been sanded or polished… but will sparkle even more when it is! The V8 Speed and Resto Shop Body and Paint Center is top-notch, and we’re always happy to spray original or custom colors on classics, customs, and muscle cars. Click To See More!
