Recently updated on February 29, 2024 at 08:23 am

The 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle Super Sport is also one of the brand's icons with the so-called “Bow-Tie” emblem. Coming out of the legendary muscle car era, which lasted until the oil crisis in 1973, the vehicle embodied the American way of life like no other. With a large-volume V8 and a lot of power, the Chevelle SS knew how to convince the US customers who were already hungry for performance at the time. Until the abrupt end due to the aforementioned oil crisis, a real competition between the three large US vehicle groups General Motors, Ford and Chrysler arose. With more and more Performance, Capacity and torque The US corporations turned the performance spiral vigorously at a time when small cars such as a Fiat 500 or a Citroën 2CV were still part of the everyday street scene in Europe.

Homage to the muscle car times!

This custom conversion would like to go back to the good old days, when no one knew anything about the electrification of the automobile Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 convertibles remember the one from the Restomod forge Vision retro designs was carried out. We will present the vehicle to you in more detail today, because it is currently being sold at the renowned US auction house mecum and is looking for a new owner. The design is retro-futuristic, and the four small ones Round headlights at the front evoke memories of the Chevelle SS mentioned above.

The A69 Limited Edition called version, will be produced in a small series and the vehicle currently being auctioned served as the first prototype and promotional vehicle to test the response from the public. Not only was the design fundamentally changed, but various came Body parts made of carbon for use. Historical design elements are also cited, such as those mentioned Round headlights at the front, or the bonnet with double power dome. There is further Rally stripes in carbon optics, which appear subtle and almost not from the Sparkling Burgundy Custom paint are to be distinguished.

Were made for a sporty look 20-inch alloy wheels Mounted in a double-spoke design with a shiny chrome finish on the Pirelli P Zero Sport tires are raised. Unfortunately, we do not know the exact dimensions of the tires. Last but not least, there is a modified one Racing brake system from Brembo used. At the front it has six-piston fixed calipers and two-piece brake discs, while four-piston fixed calipers and one-piece brake discs are installed on the rear axle.

Boredom reigns in the interior!

Unfortunately, the cockpit cannot keep up with the breathtaking exterior, as the modifications in the interior are limited to Custom sport seats with black nappa leather cover, one Carbon sports steering wheel and an plaque with serial number. She informs that it is a strictly limited vehicle. We would have expected more attention to detail in the interior, because the dashboard was practically unchanged from a production Camaro and that's a shame. After all, all comfort and safety features such as reversing camera, automatic air conditioning or driver assistance systems have been retained, which means that you don't have to make any compromises when driving.

6,2 liter V8 petrol engine with supercharger

Just like in the current generation Camaro ZL1, the 6,2 liter V8 also this Chevelle revival. Enormous 580 PS is provided by the compressor-fired engine, which not only offers a lot of power, but also an infernal sound. We don't know anything about the performance of the A69 project, but the current Camaro ZL1 storms from 3,5 to 0 km / h in 100 seconds and reaches a top speed of over 300 kilometers per hour.
