As you could easily notice, Chevrolet restomods have been all the rage lately – and not without a reason, because these stylish classics are often well preserved. Let us throw a glance at yet another finely tuned example.
Jason Pecikonis of Timeless Kustoms, the creator behind the project, says the body of the car is 90% new, made of a mix of metal and carbon fiber. The bumpers and certain other load-sensitive parts are metallic, while most of the body is made of composite materials. As for the chassis, this 1971 Chevrolet Camaro has none in the traditional sense of the word, instead relying on a lightweight chrome-molybdenum frame that brings its curb weight down under 1,600 kg (<3,500 lbs).
Other noteworthy highlights include 20-inch wheels and a single trapezoid exhaust pipe that is so enormous it had to be covered with a mesh to prevent cats and other small animals from getting inside.
The cabin enjoys a complete makeover with fine leather and Alcantara everywhere you look. The bucket seats stem from Braum, and a high-end multimedia system is on board, too.
Naturally, a project as extensive as this could not be complete without an engine swap. Timeless Kustoms doesn’t fail to deliver in this regard, either, giving its Camaro a modern LS9 V8 6.2 boosted to 600 bhp (447 kW) at the rear axle.
