Well, we’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again; sometimes with modified cars it’s really just a matter of “to each his own.” We saw this little beauty over on Car Domain and thought you all might enjoy a peek yourselves. On a first look, we were repulsed by this thing as it looks like someone’s “interpretation” of a ’69 Camaro, and the lines of a ’69 Camaro are pretty established at this point. That being said, the 2010 Camaro is heavily influenced design-wise by the ’69, and after you read the owner’s input on the car you may find that, like us, it starts to grow on you. We’re not sure we’re in love with it yet, but we sure can appreciate his gumption.
From the car owner: “This is a 1969 Danz Camaro SS concept car. I built the car in 2006. In 2006 the new Camaro was just a concept with no definite plans to go to production. I took a real 1969 Camaro and modified it to look somewhat like the 2006 concept Camaro thinking that I would have the only one in the world if the Camaro never went to production. I combined the original ’69 Camaro design with the 2006 concept Camaro design, with my own designs. The hood scoop and rear spoiler design are my own.
He continues, “I gave GM pictures of my car in Jan 2007. It appears that the 2010 SLP Camaro has a similar designed hood scoop and rear spoiler to my car. To power my car I went with a 427 small block with the vintage dual 4-barrel cross-ram manifold and carbs. I went in that direction because I wanted the legendary 427 cubic inch and also to use the vintage dual 4-barrel cross-ram. It’s backed with a 700R4 transmission to a Ford 9″ differential.”
