Murdered Out 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Hides Blown LS Under the Hood, Sounds Mean

A traditional restomod with modern wheels and aftermarket spoilers front and rear, this Chevy is as black as black cars get. The 1969 Camaro packs quite a lot of chrome in standard trim, including the grille, window frames, and bumpers, but this "street fighter" doesn't have any. And with the headlamps and taillights tinted to look darker, this Camaro is basically pitch black.

But if you'll take a closer look, you'll notice that not every inch of its surface is finished in gloss black. The subtle stripes that run from the nose to the rear deck are actually matte black. And so are the wheels. Neat!

The cabin seems largely stock if you look through the window, but it actually boasts a long list of modern upgrades. There are sports seats with enhanced lateral support and a batch of new instruments from Dakota Digital. The modern audio system and brand-new carpets, door panels, and headliner complete the look. The audio system includes Bluetooth capability and a 400-watt amplifier to you crank up your favorite hits.

The original 1969 Camaro was no slouch. With engines as big as 7.0 liters, the first-gen pony generated up to 430 horsepower in its final year on the market. But this restomod is well beyond that. The front hood no longer hides a standard Camaro engine. Instead, the owner opted for a Chevrolet Performance, 6.2-liter LSX crate engine with a cast-iron block and forged crankshaft and pistons.

The modern mill is topped with a 2.9-liter Whipple supercharger and a Nick Williams electronically controlled throttle body. This list of upgrades translates into an output of 850 horsepower, which is more than any Camaro built in a Chevrolet factory up until now. It's also more than modern muscle cars like the Shelby GT500 and Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.

The beefed-up engine is backed by a revised chassis incorporating a Detroit Speed front subframe and four-link rear suspension. Stopping power comes from a Wilwood disc and multi-piston calipers at all four corners, while all wheels come wrapped in Mickey Thompson rubber, including drag radials for the rear axle.

If you're into murdered out, high-power restomods like this one, the 1969 Camaro, which is located in Canada, is for sale via Hemmings. The auction has a high bid of $35,000 with nine days to go, but the reserve hasn't been met. It will probably go for more than $50,000, but that might be a bargain given how this restomod looks and sounds. Check out the video below for mean V8 idle and revving.
