EXTERIOR

The body is straight, properly fitted and free of visible rust or damage. It has the SS hood, front and rear spoilers and a correctly painted stripe. Cordovan Maroon metallic paint is evenly applied and polished to a deep, wet-look gloss.

The stainless-steel moldings, including the wiper arms, were polished to a chrome-like finish. Emblems, bumpers, marker lights, antenna, taillights and other chrome pieces were replaced. The front and rear glass, weatherstripping and window seals were renewed, and the black vinyl top presents like new. The Camaro rides on 14-inch Rally wheels with polished trim and reproduction Wide Oval redline tires.

INTERIOR

The black interior was restored from carpet to headliner. The seat tracks, springs, cushions and upholstery were replaced, along with the carpet and a full set of reproduction GM seat belts. A replacement console houses the horseshoe shifter.

The door panels, armrests, window cranks and handles were renewed. The dashboard received replacement vents, knobs, bezels, dash pad, steering wheel and heater-control panel. A new glovebox liner and owner's manual are included. The tight-fitting headliner, visors, mirror and dome light were also replaced. A retro-style stereo is fitted with an auxiliary connection concealed in the ashtray.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT

The GM 350 crate engine is supported by its receipt and uses an aluminum Edelbrock intake, Edelbrock carburetor with electric choke and HEI ignition. Tall aluminum valve covers provide a finished appearance.

The alternator, fuel pump, power-steering pump, power-brake hardware, wiper motor and horns present fresh and properly installed. An upgraded aluminum radiator works with a correct-style shroud, and the surrounding metal surfaces are smooth, clean and painted.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT

The trunk lid and jamb are finished to the same gloss as the exterior. Clean metal inside the trunk has a spatter finish protected with clear coat. A matching Rally-wheel spare carries an unused reproduction redline tire, and a complete reproduction jack assembly is included. The taillight housings present like new.

CHASSIS AND UNDERSIDE

Every component was removed and rebuilt during the body-off restoration. The rust-free floors are clean metal finished in semi-gloss black. Both the front steering and suspension and the rear suspension were rebuilt. The braking system was overhauled, and the parking brake is connected.

A replacement fuel tank and dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers are installed. The underside of the Chevy Orange engine and the Turbo 350 automatic transmission are clean and present fresh.
