We all know first generation Camaros are some of the most popular and in demand collector cars on the planet. And when a well-done pro-touring build adds modern ergonomics and mind-numbing performance, 'in demand' becomes 'irresistible'. About a month ago we sold this incredible curve-carver for $125K. And over the past four years, we've sold no less than a dozen world-class pro-tourers for well into the six-figure range. Obviously, the market for top-notch Camaros is alive and well. And this Rally Sport is merely the latest in a string of exclusive F1s that continue to leave our RK Motors Charlotte showroom almost as fast as they arrive. So, if you're one of those folks who waited just a little too long to pull the trigger, here's a rare chance at redemption. Wrapping a 604 cubic inch big block in a custom chassis and swaths of stitched leather, this sinister land rocket puts a white-glove twist on blue-collar dynamics. And best of all, you can have all that comfort and performance without sacrificing any old school style!

BODYWORK/TRIM

The beneficiary of a thorough, ground-up restoration that was completed in late 2013, this razor-sharp Rally Sport wears a clean and solid body under slick Tuxedo Black 2-stage. And, despite its custom drivetrain, the car's trim and ornamentation is a stylish mix of familiar Chevrolet attributes. Up front, a billet Rally Sport grille hangs electric headlights above a Satin Black bumper, clear Rally Sport parking lamps and an aggressive, carbon fiber spoiler. Behind that grille, a Camaro-branded header leads the eye to a carbon fiber Stinger Hood, which centers exposed weave striping in front of dark-tint glass and straight, Satin Black trim. At the sides of the car, factory doors found satin F2 mirrors and Fesler-supplied handles between satin marker lamps, shaved fenders and satin rocker spears. And at the back of those spears, a power-operated trunk hangs a carbon fiber ducktail over smoked Fesler taillights, a carbon fiber bowtie, a second satin bumper and carbon fiber exhaust bezels that are seated in a custom roll pan.

ENGINE

Lift this F1's glossy hood and you'll find a 604 cubic inch Dahmer Powertrain big block that's been professionally built to roughly 750 horsepower! The mean engine's growl originates when wind whips from custom, carbon fiber air tubes in to a fabricated, ram jet-style intake. That wind fuses with fossils thanks to quality Hogan fuel injection, which is hooked to braided fluid lines, a small Aeromotive pressure gauge, a familiar Aeromotive regulator and proven F.A.S.T programming. The resulting air/fuel mixture makes its way to quality Air Flow Research heads, which are topped with custom, brushed aluminum valve covers. When the juice hits the cylinders, a hot MSD Pro-Billet distributor shoots fire through sleeved Accel Ferro-Spiral plug wires, which snake around coated Dynatech headers. Cooling for that fire comes courtesy of a massive aluminum radiator that's anchored between a custom cowl and quick-spinning electric puller fans. And, fluid for that cooling system is provided by an aluminum Stewart water pump that, along with a polished alternator and coated AC compressor, spins on high quality Vintage Air FrontRunner components. The buff mill is exceptionally impressive, centering its Jet Black block between carbon fiber fenders, hydraulic Fesler hood supports and contoured Fesler braces. And details, like trick, color-keyed dipsticks, a small Wilwood clutch reservoir and a familiar Wilwood master cylinder, convey the kind of acute build quality that elicits immediate stares.

DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION

Take a look under this tire shredding pony car and you'll find a fully restored chassis that's ready for the strip or the street. Behind the big engine, a Tremec TKO600 5-speed utilizes a stout hydraulic clutch to spin a tough Keisler driveshaft, which is connected to a Strange 9-inch axle and big, 3.73 gears. Under that driveline, a proven Heidts suspension makes good use of tubular control arms, modern coil-overs, thick sway bars and power rack-and-pinion steering. At the corners of that suspension, four Wilwood calipers clamp drilled and slotted rotors with the help of Hydratech hydraulics. Charred dinosaurs float from the aforementioned headers to a series of large-diameter pipes, which position an H-shaped crossover in front of aggressive SpinTech mufflers. Power meets the pavement through 18-inch Rocket Racing Boosters, which spin 245/40 Nitto NT555 Extreme ZRs in front of 265/40 Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials. And the car's fresh, Satin Black floors are finished with stainless fluid lines, a deep-sump oil pan, a high quality mini starter and Heidts Pro-G subframe connectors.

INTERIOR

Open this Chevy's tight-fitting doors and you'll find a highly customized interior that wraps 21st century style in a nice blend of comfort and convenience. The car's firm, power adjustable seats, lifted from a modern GTO, have been completely covered in supple Saddle hides. In front of those plush thrones, a custom, Saddle-trimmed dash hangs Auto Meter Pro-Comp Ultra-Lite telemetry above pushbutton ignition and Vintage Air climate control. At the base of that dash, a custom, full-length console centers a straight shifter in front of a polished emergency brake handle. Beneath that leather-wrapped divider, carbon fiber, Fisher-branded sill plates frame billet foot pedals and high quality carpet. Above those sills, custom door panels found color-keyed Fesler handles. Above those panels, a custom headliner frames a custom-wrapped roll bar. In front of the driver, a polished steering wheel spins a thick wood rim around a tilting column. And behind the passengers, the car's fully upholstered trunk is clean and ready to roll.
