[Music] welcome to collectible Motorcar of Atlanta YouTube channel today we have a very special 1969 Camaro Resto mod for you guys this is by far one of the nicest Camaros in the country this thing has had a ton of modifications done to it um before I jump into this video if I went over everything done to this car it would probably take me a good solid 2 hours just because it's modified so much but we'll go over just some of the key things that are done to the car just to give you an idea of the quality of the build but this thing has had no expense spared on it they spent all the money on this car and it is very very nice I would go as far as saying the nicest car we've had here at collectible Motorcar and it's a Camaro so that's a double uh that's really good for us but but overall guys the paint and body on this car is really nice it's got a C ton of custom little things done to it like you can see here the bumpers were custom made and pocketed into the front of the uh the car there to give it a really clean look all your side markers have been shaved on this car your drip rails were shaved your rear bumper as well is pocketed into the back of the uh quarter panels back there the uh rear spoiler has been molded into the trunk and the quarter panels to give it a real clean and seamless look um all your glass has been upgraded in this car it's just super nice the owner told us that the paint job on this car was somewhere around $80 to $100,000 with all the body work and everything done to it and guys the paint there is not one flaw not a fisheye nothing in this paint I mean it is near perfect it is absolutely amazing to look at it's beautiful um it's just so straight and clean but let's go ahead and jump into this review uh we'll start up front here like we typically do and like I mentioned you do have the uh custom bumper up front there that was pocketed into the front of the car car there you've got the RS Hiway headlights there as well your side markers have been shaved you have a beautiful cow hood on this car as well um like I said when you're looking down the the fender here and all your gaps and everything I mean this car is just absolutely amazing and super clean you can tell they paid attention to detail on this car just beautiful gray metallic paint you do have some forg Line Wheels here that just look really good they match the build quality you got six piston bare brakes up front as well you've got some Billet mirrors Billet uh windsh wipers there as well as I look across the top of the car here super slick super clean I don't even see any wiping scratches in the paint of this thing I mean it's just absolutely beautiful you've got some really cool kig door handles here just to kind of give you a really clean and modern look I really like Ken Dig's door handles you don't see them a whole lot um but the cars you do see them on are usually like this one very tricked out and very clean um as we work our way down the qu panel here it's nice and straight no major imperfections or anything like that and as I look down the side of the car this thing is laser straight guys super clean um like I said I always like to open up these doors just to show you that they do shut good doesn't get no better than that sounds like a refrigerator door shut in there but as we get back to the back of the car here check out the body line on this 69 you know that's one thing that I like about the 69 Camaros you have these really cool body lines on the front fender that kind of runs into the door and then kind of comes back here to the rear quarter these body lines are super straight super crisp and just look absolutely amazing as we work our way around the back side of the car here you have a custom set of tail lights back here that are LED and they're sequential so that means like when you hit them they kind of like do this pattern um we can show you that with some b-roll um as you look at the trunk here all your gaps around the trunk are nice and clean you have that custom rear spoiler back here that just gives it a really cool custom look everything is shaved back here you don't have the black panel back here or any of that you it's all been shaved and gives it a really clean look and a custom look as well but overall just a really really nice car um let me go ahead and Pop the trunk real quick for you and show you that there's a little button inside here you can hit it's all electronic this car's got a custom trunk done in here it's got some speakers some subs and stuff in the back but you do have enough room to put a lawn chair or a little cooler or a little bag back there I mean this car was built to be driven um so you can definitely drive this car uh do have a little bit of a trunk space back there to put a little go bag or uh something like that if you're going to a car show and you're going to be staying the night you can put your bag back there and drive this to the show or like I said a lawn chair to sit in to well if you take this to a car show you're not going to be sitting much because there's going to be a ton of people com up and asking you questions but you do have the custom Billet hinges here as well they made a custom uh rear trunk panel there with like little grills here for the speakers and everything all your electronics for your subs and everything are behind that it keeps it nice and clean and neat but overall guys I mean just check out the detail even on the bottom of the trunk here they did not skip anything on this car they really paid attention to detail on this one and this is a very nice car and that is kind of the reason why the price is what it is on this one because like I said in the beginning of this video no expense spared on this car I mean I don't even want to touch it it's so nice all right guys check out this masterpiece of an engine bag guys that is an rhs LSX 42 27 all aluminum block and this thing is built to the max you've got calii dragon slayer crank you got CI Ultra Ultra rods wisco custom Billet forg turbo Pistons you've got a ton of other things like titanium intake valves um uh upgraded exhaust valves eight pack racing valve springs RPM racing rocker arms with Smith Brothers Grunion kit uh you've got Smith Brothers push rods ARP stud kit uh GP tuning turbo cam you've got 88 mm uh Nelson turbos you've got a 60 mm wastegate um and this motor is matched up to a T56 Magnum transmission that is built you've got a uh uh McLoud dual clutch kit you've got a Billet flywheel uh McLoud clutch uh master cylinder um ton of things uh the the brains of this engine is a holly Dominator EFI system which is the best holly makes uh it's got the Dual Holly um injector drive module as well as a holly traction control module and as you can also see you do have dual throttle bodies there that are electric so they're controlled by wire so throttle by wire but they are dual um that's really unique you don't typically see that in most um Resto mods like that you don't even see that in modern cars that is something that Ford just started recently doing on their newest Mustang that they just came out here in 2024 four but guys I mean I can go over everything on this engine but I would literally be here for 30 minutes going over everything we have a detailed list of the build on this engine on our website that you can go to and literally see every spec on the engine I just tried to go over some of the key features on this build um this engine is making 1,300 wheel horsepower guys so this thing is an animal but with a traction control system on this car it can definitely keep you in control of the car and keep the tires planted to the road and makes this thing a blast to drive but guys with that being said let's go ahead and move to the interior so I can show you what that has to offer all right guys check out this beautiful custom interior on the 69 Camaro we'll start off first with these awesome bucket seats and the custom center console as you can see these are black leather with some white stitching and you've got the hounds tooth but it's not your typical white and black hounds tooth it's black and gray to kind of match the accents of this this beautiful Camaro um you got brand new carpet and like I said this console is super trick you've got all your windows in here are power including the small ones in the back so you've got all your switches there you do have your audio control here it is Bluetooth so just hook your phone up to it and you control it right there from that panel you do have some USB plugs here so you can charge your phone and other devices you do have some awesome uh decoda digital gauges here and these are the ones the that have the little uh digital screens there to give you some outputs like anything you want there like this one's got range it's got trip uh it's got service uh your mileage there and a timer for your clock um but overall super nice you do have a really nice steering column here with tilt wheel you've got your Billet controls here for your turn signals you've got a custom Dash here that's all been wrapped in leather matches the seats and it absolutely looks beautiful this car does have vintage AC as well you've got the three controls there to control your temp um uh your heat and your your blower motor you've got all your switches here for like your wipers your electronic e brake for the bare brakes um your uh interior lights your running lights and your trunk so your trunk is electric as well but guys overall this interior is absolutely beautiful it looks really nice the headliner is done in a beautiful Suede and it just is absolutely amazing but guys with that being said let's get to the best part and let's take this one for a drive all right guys we're out cruising in this Camaro and all I can say is this thing is freaking awesome it drives better than a new Camaro and it's got more horsepower than anyone ever needs I mean this thing is an absolute animal just quarter throttle and just holding it there I mean this thing starts rolling steam man I mean it's impressive the steering is very nice the ride is really good Detroit Speed is one of the best in the industry and let me tell you I'm very impressed on how this car handles and how it just eats up the road eats up the bumps it just drives awesome it's got a really good sport car feel but at the same time rides like a Cadillac and that is hard to do with aggressive like racing style suspension the steering is super tight and one thing I noticed with the key like with the ignition which is really impressive it's just super smooth like butter I don't know what ignition is in this car but it's absolutely amazing it just turning the key makes it just feel luxury um the transmission's amazing in here it's shifts really good um T56 you just can't go wrong with those trans Transmissions um got a nice notchy feel but at the same time nice and crisp all the way through um we rolled up the windows for the ride all the windows work in here as they should your gauges work as they should but overall guys this is by far the nicest Resto mod I have ever driven and I've drove some pretty nice cars but this one definitely takes it as the best it's absolutely amazing but we're going to go ahead and get turned around and I'll get on it a little bit got to respect this car um this is a good customer of ours car it's a consign assignment but I'll get on it just a little bit just to kind of show you what it's got uh but it's absolutely a very fast car just take my word on that I've got an 1100 horsepower ZL1 Camaro and this thing is way faster I'll just go ahead and tell you that right now so 1 1300 wheel horsepower this thing is an absolute animal but we'll get turned around here and we'll check back in with you and we'll show you what this thing's [Music] got [Music] Jesus guys that was absolutely amazing like I said that was literally quarter throttle and as soon as the Boost was kicking on I was pretty much shifting because it was starting to pull so hard that it was trying to break the tires loose but guys this thing is an absolute animal but yet at the same time you can literally daily drive it like I'm doing right now and cruise it and it's perfectly fine and one thing I will say with a lot of like twin turbo setups you'll get a lot of lag this car has no turbo lag literally like it's got great power just cruising around here giving it gas like it feels like you're just driving a uh like a naturally aspirated LS7 I mean it's just absolutely amazing the build quality on this car uh they really thought it through even all the way down to the engine the drivetrain all the paint workor there was so much thought put into this car guys and like I said the the price is a lot on this car but to duplicate this car you would easily be up around $300,000 to build this car if not more I mean this is an absolutely extreme build but one thing that I want to drive home is you can absolutely daily drive this car you can drive it easy and it's not like super crazy but when you do want it to be crazy it can be that too but guys let's get back to the shop let's put this one up on the lift and let's see the bottom side all right guys we got the Camaro back here at the dealership and let me tell you this thing drives amazing and now that I've got it up on the lift I can definitely tell why uh you've got a nice rack and pinion steering here your radiator is all done in Black you got that big giant intercooler up front there to keep everything cool keep those air intake temps down you've got upper and lower a ARS that are really beefy and uh Detroit Speed has some of the best suspension and Engineering they've got some awesome coilovers on here you've got the 3-in downpipe here to your v-bands uh one of the really cool thing with the VB bands is you can take this exhaust apart in sections instead of taking the whole thing down definitely saves time when you're working on this thing no leaks underneath this thing guys your oil pan dry transmission's dry your tail shaft seals dry um but guys take a look at these welds on this exhaust they're really small and really clean whoever did the welding on this did an excellent job all your floor pans underneath here have been done in like an undercoating or Rhino Lining it definitely gives it a lot of protection versus if you painted it all slick under here with like automotive paint um that would just be really easy to chip yeah it looks really pretty but at the same time it's really hard to keep it in good condition I mean any kind of little rocks going under here would would chip the paint so I definitely like this really nice um rhino lining that's done under here this exhaust is absolutely beautiful stainless steel all the way back to some Bor attack Mufflers um another thing that I wanted to mention inste instead of having a soft line here for your brakes and everything he's actually done hard line which is really really really nice same with your fuel lines over here on the other side instead of doing soft aend lines he did all hard lines which looks really clean and is in my opinion better um your crossmember looks really good uh super custom there looks really good as well xpipe here that looks really good you can tell the exhaust is done very uniformed and it just looks like a piece of art uh absolutely love that as we get to the back back here you do have a Detroit Speed um quadr link uh setup back here you do have a 12volt uh mourer rear end that's been shorten 12 in uh you've got Detroit Speed mini tubs back here as well to be able to fit that big fat tire back there and you definitely need it with 1300 horsepower new fuel tank with electric pump and everything in it and your exhaust comes out right back here and dumps out on each side of the tank kind of keeps it tucked up there so it's nice and clean I hate when I see a really clean car like this and they've got goofy tips pointing out down on the um underside of the car it just looks weird so I definitely like that they kept that tucked up so you don't see it from the outside looks really clean but guys I might have missed a few things on here but overall this is an awesome build very high quality um no expense spared but guys if you're interested in this car and you're watching it on YouTube I highly recommend you go to our website at collectibl motor.com go to inventory scroll down till you see this beautiful Camaro and read the listing I went in way more detail as far as modifications and things done to this car in there you can read up on that and if there's anything in there that I left left out you can give me a call and I can inform you on anything else that you may have questions on we offer financing here uh we do shipping we do all of it we can get this beautiful car parked in your
