For Sale – 1969 Camaro Pro-Touring Project
If you are interested in something like this then you are probably familiar with most of the folks who have been involved in this build to date. This 1969 Camaro was purchased as a rust free shell in Southern California and had undergone extensive work to get it to the point that it is now. The car was exported from the US to Canada last fall and has all of the required customs documentation for registering it in Canada when complete. Returning it to the United States is not an issue.
The car was intended for competition events such as the Ultimate Street Car Association, the OPTIMA Ultimate Street Car Invitations, the Silver State Classic Challenge, the Sandhills Open Road Challenge and the Spectre 341 Challenge. A bunch of work went it to style, design and more than anything safety.

Highlights include:
SpeedTech Front Subframe - The subframe was moved an inch upwards at the chassis mounts and the engine has been set back nearly six inches. To accommodate the engine setback a new firewall was fabricated and the fenders were modified to maintain the original hood hinge mounting points. Billet aluminum ATS spindles are mounted on tubular upper and lower control arms. Tow hooks have been integrated on the front sub and hollow front sway bar is included. RideTech T3 Triple Adjustable shocks are in place; there are no brakes. Hypercoil springs set up for an LSA Engine are in place.
SpeedTech Rear Torque Arm – the car features a SpeedTech Ford 9” rear end housing which incorporates C6 Corvette (SKF/ZR1) hubs and floating Speedway Engineering axles. The differential housing has accommodations for a rear end cooler but these can be plugged if the buyer chooses not to use them. The center section (used) is an Aluminum Currie Enterprises carrier with a TrueTrack differential and 3.89:1 gears. As with the front the rear rests on RideTech Triple Adjustable shocks with Hypercoil Springs and utilizes an adjustable panhard bar.
Body – Stock front tulips and firewall have been removed and a custom firewall is in place to accommodate the engine setback. Fenders have been modified to accommodate new firewall position. Front fenders have been stretched (widened) 2” per side to accommodate 315 or 335 series tires with full steering range. Doors have been modified to carry the bodyline from front fenders back. Roof in new but not currently welded in place; this was done to accommodate installation of the roll cage and to assist Camaro Performers with a roof replacement article which was published June 2011 (article available online). Includes both standard and RS grills. In the back there is an aluminum ATS Fuel Cell and cage. A front bumper is included, along with a spare stock front fender; there is a stock rear spoiler. Also available at additional cost (very negotiable) is a Harwood fiberglass cowl hood or an Anvil Carbon Fiber cowl hood; an Anvil Carbon Fiber deck lid is also available. Window tracks have been restored and are included. There is no glass with the exception of rear quarter windows which are used. The rear seat Y supports have been removed and replaced with a bead rolled steel panel. Transmission tunnel has been extensively modified but is awaiting final welding. Door and fender gaps have been addressed but finishing is required along the seams.
The roll cage is an FIA legal custom build that was designed to meet NASA Rally Cross rules as well as SCCA Unlimited class requirements. It meets or exceeds SCCA and NASA TT specs and includes a single Sparco Evo II seat which has not yet been mounted. A harness bar is still required to complete the cage but this needs to be done in conjunction with the final seat mounting. There are no belts included. There is a Wilwood pedal box in place. Minitubs and subframe connectors are from DSE. There is a Marquez design dash in place (custom lightweight piece built for us without the heavy reinforcements). I can include a Racepak IQ3 logger dash for a Pro-Touring.com member.
The car is being sold as a ROLLING CHASSIS project which is incomplete. A full suite of build photos are available here:

(dammit – pictures are down – I’ll get that fixed but all can be found in the photobucket link)
The car is currently located in Calgary, Alberta and I will transport the car to Sweetgrass, Montana to eliminate any border crossing concerns (shipping to other destinations can be negotiated).
Price reflects my desire to see the car sold before the snow gets too deep and what I think would be a fair discount to get another car to this point while acknowledging that the new owner may want to make some changes.
Also available but not included at the price listed is a new GMPP LSA and Tremec T56 Magnum (close ratio) transmission with a Quicktime bellhousing and custom driveshaft. Also available are a set of custom 1 7/8” Stainless Works headers.
Included in the price are a pile of miscellaneous parts such as deluxe door panels, factory dash, and other parts.
Email for more information - I’m sure I missed something.
This car has the potential to be an incredible piece when finished but my family situation has changed so my loss is your gain.
