There is no shortage of companies claiming they have the very best products these days, but as we always say, the proof is in the pudding. In this case, our favorite Jell-O dessert comes in the flavor of a sleek 1967 pro-touring Camaro owned by Bret Ervin. Powering this bad boy is a 383ci small block, but it’s what’s underneath that really makes this car stellar- a full suspension system from Chris Alston’s Chassisworks. Sound like your kind of car? Then it can only get better from here!

Chris Alston's Chassisworks has suspension and other performance components, like headers, for all of your pro-touring Chevy needs.
Looking for the perfect ride height for his pro-touring Camaro, Ervin turned to Chassisworks and was set up with the perfect system that not only gives his car the stance he wants but also the performance enhancements that every pro-touring fan needs in a car. That being said, you’ll find Chassisworks’ g-Street Bolt-on Front Frame Clip, front anti-roll bar, and a g-Street power rack and pinion steering system up front. The rearend of the car features plenty of Chassisworks equipment as well, including a billet splined rear anti-roll bar and g-Link Air spring rear suspension system. A Chassisworks pro-touring g-Connector system connects it all while Varishock double adjustable air springs find their home on all four corners. Pin-point stopping power comes compliments of 13-inch g-Street discs in the front and 13-inch Wilwood discs in the rear.

Under this first-generation's hood, you'll find an impressive 383ci engine, but without the Chassisworks' suspension upgrades, this car wouldn't be a proper pro-touring machine.

Making this whole setup very worthwhile is Ervin’s 383ci engine, equipped with Chassisworks-coated small block Chevy headers, rumbling under the hood, which is connected to a Turbo 350 transmission pushing power to the Camaro’s 12-bolt Chevy Posi-traction rearend with 3.73 gears.

Of course, a pro-touring machine wouldn’t be complete without the proper wheels and tires which find themselves in the  form of 18×9-inch and 18×11.5-inch Rushforth Rated X wheels wrapped in 265/35/r 18 and 335/30/r 18 Nitto rubber respectably on this powerful beast.

While the car certainly looks good, it has the goods to back it up and Ervin isn’t afraid to admit it. “I am using Chassiworks suspension components exclusively on the front and back of my car and have been extremely satisfied with the product,”  Ervin stated in his testimonial on Chassisworks’ website.

“It is very well engineered, great quality along with top notch service makes them (Chassisworks) tough to beat.  I was able to get the adjustable ride height I was looking for along with great handling.”

Sounds like Ervin found the perfect fit for his pro-touring Camaro, and others seem to agree, awarding him two “Best of Show” awards and a “Best GM Product” award at shows this year.
