A modernized 1968 Chevrolet Camaro RS blends vintage muscle car aesthetics with cutting-edge performance and custom detailing.
A 1968 Chevrolet Camaro RS has been reborn as a high-performance restomod masterpiece, seamlessly merging vintage muscle car appeal with 21st-century engineering. Outfitted with a host of modern upgrades, this iconic pony car offers the best of both worlds—timeless styling and contemporary performance.
At the heart of the build is an all-aluminum LS1 5.7-liter V8 engine, fuel-injected for efficiency and paired with stainless headers and a custom dual exhaust system. Backed by a 4L automatic transmission with four speeds, the setup delivers smooth, responsive shifts and highway-ready performance. Supporting the drivetrain is an aluminum radiator equipped with electric fans, ensuring the engine stays cool even under pressure.
Performance doesn’t stop with power delivery. A full “Hotchkis” performance suspension system elevates handling to sports car territory. Tubular control arms, frame connectors, sway bars front and rear, adjustable shocks, and upgraded springs combine to deliver precision and control far beyond the original factory specs. A four-wheel power disc braking system with gun-drilled and slotted rotors ensures it stops as fiercely as it accelerates.
The exterior reflects the build’s aggressive character, enhanced by a custom paint job, chrome alloy wheels wrapped in new tires, and Detroit Speed electric headlight doors that hint at the car’s advanced underpinnings. Inside, the classic deluxe houndstooth interior is updated with Dakota Digital gauges, a billet steering wheel, and a custom console—all blending old-school charm with digital-age functionality. A custom trunk enclosure rounds out the craftsmanship.
With the addition of a Terminator X onboard tuner, the Camaro’s performance can be precisely dialed in, ensuring this restomod doesn’t just look fast—it lives up to it.
Whether on the road or at the show, this 1968 Camaro RS restomod is a head-turning reminder of how past and present can unite to create something truly exceptional.
