People Still Scared of This Black as Night 1969 Chevrolet Camaro, No Buyer Yet

As part of our Muscle Car Month coverage back in May, we've had quite our share of customized Camaros. However, none of them were as menacing-looking as the one we have in the gallery below.

This particular Camaro is a 1969 model year, the first generation of a nameplate that would go on to forever change the American auto landscape. Only it doesn’t come in stock form, but modified so heavily it is a sight to behold. Restored from the ground up and reimagined as a pro-touring custom, the car has been modified just enough to really make it stand out in the crowd.

The first thing that hits you when looking at it is the blackness of the thing. The light-swallowing body was achieved after applying a black 2-stage paint all over, and thanks to the fitting of even more black Rally Sport grille, headlights, door handles, and a long list of equally black elements.

Even the wheels – in this case a set of four large 18-inch elements – didn’t escape the dark mood of the car’s builders.

The interior is equally as dark, but at least there we have a bit of red on the carpet and the white of gauges that make up the instrument cluster.

Pop the hood, and no surprises there either, at least in terms of color: black continues to be the star there as well, only this time it is contrasted by the chrome elements of the 6.0-liter GM V8 and the name of the garage behind the build – Cook Performance – written in bold red letters in front of it. The engine, paired with a Tremec 6-speed manual transmission, is said to deliver over 400 horsepower.

Considering how extraordinary car builds don’t come cheap – and this one certainly fits the description – the $139,900 asking price (yes, the Camaro is for sale) comes as no surprise. But it's not encouraging buyers into going for it either, as the Camaro is still listed for sale well after it first surfaced on the open market.
