If you plan to give the kids in the neighborhood the scare of a lifetime, park this in your driveway and fire it up. The adults might get spooked too, because, well, we’re pretty sure no one in your fancy Pleasantville has ever seen anything like this up close.
With all the proper hardware sticking out of the hood, massive wheels at the back, and specs worthy of a monster machine, the heavily modified 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS belongs on the drag strip rather than parked in a driveway somewhere.
Yet here it is, photographed in detail in sunny Florida as it awaits a new buyer.
Selling for $48,500, the Camaro is nothing like its original self. The car started life in 1969 as the RS/SS variant of the muscle car, an already pumped up version of the model fitted with both the Rally Sport (RS) option and the Super Sport (SS) performance package.
That seems to not have been enough for one of its past owners, who decided to turn it into this monster, equipped with a massive heart and an enforced skeleton a car of this caliber needs to successfully compete in racing events and auto shows.
The monster heart that sits under the hood is a Chevy 7.4-liter V8 engine fitted with a Weiland blower and linked to an automatic transmission, packing in excess of 750 horsepower.
Officially, the build is described as a show car, but it looks ready to race any time. Riding on wheels that are just 15-inches in diameter, but wrapped in massive tires, it sports the proper roll cage on the inside to keep the occupant safe.
The ride seems to be in good visual condition too, at least judging by the photos made available by the seller, with both the Dark Blue Metallic exterior and the black interior not presenting visible signs of wear and tear.
