1969 Chevrolet Camaro Butterscotch Pear Coupe

There seems to be no shortage of ’69 Camaro “restomods” these days, but this example really stands out. Despite being extensively modified, it maintains the lines and many of the details that make the last of the first-gen Camaros so aesthetically appealing. The Butterscotch Pearl paint is said to be from a line of Chip Foose-developed hues, and it really highlights the subtle body modifications well. But it’s the list of hardware included in this build that reads like a modern hot rodder’s wish list: A 454-cu.in. LS-type engine fitted with a ProCharger and feeding a Tremec six-speed and a custom 9-inch rear, complete Detroit Speed subframe and suspension, and much more. It would take a lot to replicate a car like this. -TM

Featured in a 2021 issue of All Chevy Performance, this 1969 Chevrolet Camaro is a supercharged restomod that’s accumulated only 1,000 miles since its build was completed. The body and interior have been customized, while the powertrain, chassis, and suspension systems have been comprehensively upgraded. The car is in “excellent” condition, according to the selling dealer, who is representing the car on consignment. “It’s gorgeous and no expense was spared,” notes the seller.
