Here’s your predicament. Your ambition is to own an award-winning, second-generation Camaro. You have neither the time, functional skills nor experience in the automotive world to complete such a project on your own. However because you’ve been successful in other areas, such a vehicle is within your financial means. If this is your situation, you might want to take a look at this 1972 pro-touring Camaro being offered for sale by Kevin Feiock of Elizabeth, Colorado.
We first became aware of this four-wheeled beauty from Kevin’s post on the Pro-Touring.com website. From there, Kevin linked to the Camaro’s sale page on eBay. At that location, you can browse through many more great photos and digest at length the seemingly endless listing of the performance-enhancing technologies and custom designed engineering that make this a very special automobile.
The show awards and accolades that this Camaro has received since completion in July 2010 is as impressive as it is brief. It has been a magazine cover car, been a feature car at the 2010 SEMA show in Las Vegas and has won the Builder’s Choice Award at the one and only National Good Guys event that it has ever appeared in! That is an impressive record no matter how you look at.
Magnusson supercharged, aluminum LS-1 pumps out a respectable 500+ hp. Note how well hidden wires, cables and other extraneous hardware have been hidden away to give a super-sanitary appearance.
Interior is elegant, comfortable and very functional. Quality of the work like in all the other areas is top notch.
The asking price for this car is $77,500. That is not a small sum of money for anyone that I know. But realistically it would probably cost much more than that to duplicate this project. This is especially true if you had to have most of the work done for you.
Also, in today’s automotive marketplace a new, comparably equipped and performing Mercedes Benz, BMW or other quasi-exotic performance vehicle could easily exceed that $77.5k figure. Even then,you still would not own the classic second-generation 1972 Camaro.
Of course there are the purists out there who would look down their noses and cluck their tongues at someone that they feel bought their way into the world of high-performance rather than doing it themselves. My question for the critics is who cares? It is the passion for the pastime and the participation in it that matters. How you get involved is irrelevant!
Attention to detail is everywhere in this Camaro. From custom made hood hinges to the anodized bolts on the quick-change rear, nothing was overlooked.
