eBay Find: No-Expense-Spared 1,800 HP Pro Street ’69 Camaro

There are lots of ways to draw attention to yourself at the track, at a car show, or even at a stoplight, if that’s what you’re going for. And the distinct sound of blower lope? Well, that’s definitely one of them.

That sweet surging sound is quite distinctive and a hallmark of many a great Pro Street-style cars, and this 1969 Camaro is one of the most impressive and well carried-out examples you’ll find anywhere. And it’s also for sale, if you’ve got a whole pile of cash burning a hole in your pockets.

The project, intended as a concept to build one of the world’s quickest street legal cars, has had virtually no expense spared anywhere in its construction, with a complete build from the ground-up of the 25.1c-spec car from Top Of The Hill Race Cars in Pleasanton, Calif. The car is entirely OEM steel from front to back, with the chromoly chassis resting underneath, with a fabricated, polished aluminum interior throughout the car. 

Under the hood is a monstrous 636 cubic inch Arias Hemi, utilizing an Arias aluminum block, a Velasco five-inch stroke billet crank, Brooks aluminum rods, Arias cylinder heads, and an Ultra Dyne camshaft, producing an 8.5:1 compression ratio that allows for the car to run on 92 octane pump gas when necessary. The big supercharger topped by an Enderle bug catcher protruding through the hood feeds through an Arias magnesium intake manifold to help deliver upwards of 1,800 horsepower to the flywheel while running on alcohol. 

A four-speed Lenco planetary transmission with a triple-disc clutch contained in a Lakewood bellhousing helps transfer the horsepower via a Strange Engineering chromoly driveshaft back to the custom Mark Williams-built Ford nine-inch rear end housing.

There’s plenty more to this stunner, including a five-stage Avaid dry sump oiling system, electronic digital fuel injection, custom fabbed headers, a Mark Williams spool, gun-drilled axles, full floating hubs, and a complete four-link setup, Strange Engineering front and rear brakes and front struts, and a full fire suppression system.

With a starting bid of nearly $95,000, this isn’t a cheap toy by any means, but this thing exudes quality and craftsmanship from bumper to bumper, and it’s sure to turn some heads no matter where you go.
