6,162cc OHV Supercharged V8 Engine Fuel Injection 551bhp 4-Speed Automatic Transmission Independent Front with Live Rear Axle Suspension 4-Wheel Disc Brakes *Fully Built and Customized Pro Touring Machine *Supercharged LS9 power *Classic looks, modern capabilities *A real show stopper THE MOTORCAR OFFERED This fully customized 1969 Pro Touring Camaro affectionately known as "The Blue Devil", derived from its elbow deep, Impulse blue paint and pearl white SS stripes, is the result of a frame off rotisserie custom build by famed automotive builders at Route 66 Motorsports and was updated in recent years by world famous car designer and builder Dave Salvaggio of Speedkore. Everything starts with the chassis, and in this case, the builders chose a custom chassis by Chris Alston Chassisworks and a polished aluminum subframe. Powered by a proven Chevrolet LS-9 motor with supercharging and dry sump lubrication, the motor is matted to a Bowler built 4-L80 automatic overdrive transmission. It is accompanied by a Ford 9-inch rear end housing the W373 gears capable of producing in excess of 600 bhp. Currently it is tuned for street driving to 551 bhp on minimal boost. With great power, the need for efficient deceleration is of utmost importance. This is achieved with a full set of vented Wilwood disc brakes. Suspension and handling are curtesy of Air Ride Technologies Shockwave adjustable air bags on all four corners, allowing the operator to adjust ride height and show presentation with the push of a button. The car is fitted with a complete custom interior by Krist Kustoms Interior, including steel dash, console and backseat waterfall. Custom headliner, hand-built whitewater pearl white leather seats with carbon fiber patterned vinyl inserts, door panels and trim to match the seats brings luxury and performance to a new level. Hand made billet door handles, seat adjuster pulls, and trim pieces address all the extra details. Power steering, power windows and door locks were not forgotten; nor was passenger and driver comfort with Vintage Air. Audio performance built to match expectations from under the hood with Alpine Bluetooth audio system hidden in the trunk, wired to concert quality 10-inch subwoofers. However, if you desire raw power in your ears, the custom Magnaflow exhaust brings audio life to the powerplant and tingles the nervous system. 19-inch SRRC polished aluminum wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich tires plants this devil to the ground. Aluminum Impulse Blue front spoiler from Duncanspeed, carbon fiber engine cover and radiator close out panel from Speedkore are just some of the small details that contribute to this drivable work of art. While the list of details is long no other area on the Blue Devil was granted the attention to detail as does the engine bay and undercarriage. Both of which are mirror images in terms of presentation, and craftmanship as what the world will see at a glance. Fully painted in the striking Impulse Blue and chrome. The Blue Devil has been showcased and details of the construction were well documented in several publications. It was the magazine feature car in Chevy High Performance. It was also featured in a 3-issue series recognizing The Blue Devil to be the very first 1st generation Camaro to have the Air Ride suspension package installed. This fully custom 1969 Camaro is truly a masterful collaboration of some of the greatest builders, designers, and modern aftermarket innovations coming together. The Blue Devil blends classic Camaro looks with modern drivability and reliability. Fans of the classic muscle car can enjoy the best of both worlds with this incredible pro touring build completely sorted and ready to cruise or show.
