The combination of Chevelle and Camaro has carbon fiber body panels and Brembo brakes. It also features a custom interior.
You like the classic Chevy but want something with modern conveniences. This 2013 Camaro ZL1 convertible is a unique conversion that makes it look like a 1969 Chevelle. Mecum will sell it as part of the Kissimmee, Florida sale.
Vision Retro Designs created a retro-inspired look for the Camaro using cues taken from the Chevelle, which includes the quad circular lights. The new carbon fiber body panels and dual-dome grille are also included. Sparkling Burgundy exterior paint is used. The thick stripes are made of exposed carbon.
It is mounted on 20-inch, split-spoke wheels with chrome finishes. They are wrapped with Pirelli P Zero Sports tires. Brembo brakes are available with front and rear Brembo calipers that have six pistons and four pistons, respectively.
Inside, you will find Tuxedo Black Nappa Leather with red stitching. Carbon-fiber trim is found on the door sills and steering wheel. This cabin layout is similar to the Camaro from this time.
The LSA supercharged, 6.2-liter V8 produces 580 horsepower (433 Kilowatts). It is driven by GM’s 6-speed Hydra-Matic six speed automatic gearbox. Carbon fiber strut bars are a small tweak to the underside.
Vision Retro Designs used this vehicle as a prototype for their Chevelle conversion. It retains technology from the Camaro, such as the backup camera and parking sensors.
From 1964 to 1977, Chevrolet’s midsize car was known as the original Chevelle. The car was available in several body styles including sedans, coupes, convertibles, wagons, and was even the basis of the El Camino pickup.
The SS performance models played a major role in the muscle car battle from the late ’60s to the early ’70s. There were many engines available for these vehicles, including big-block V8s that could produce as much as 7.4 Liters (454 cubic inches).
