This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro from Kindred Motorworks with supercharged LT5-V8 from a C7 Corvette ZR1 we absolutely have to show you. Kindred Motorworks is a renowned one Restomod tuner with impressive "upgrade kits" for classic vehicles in the range. The team converts a wide range of classic cars, like a pure electric chevrolet 3100 pickup, a 300 hp and also electric VW T2 or a classic Ford Bronco equipped with a Ford Coyote V8. But today it's about the 1969 Camaro LT Edition with GM parts under the hood. It is of course logical that a conversion like this cannot be completed overnight and takes a lot of time.
Camaro with LT5 V8
The basis for such a project is a roadworthy 1969 Camaro chassis with six or eight cylinders, the drive train of which is completely removed. is installed instead a new engine from a C7 ZR1 Corvette. It's a 6,2-liter (or 376-cubic-inch) unit that puts out a brutal 700 horsepower even as stock. The engine is coupled to a Tremec six-speed manual transmission, but a T56 Super Magnum eight-speed automatic can also be installed as an alternative. Both can easily handle the massive amount of power and torque. At the rear end is a 9-inch rear axle with a Torsen limited-slip differential Kindred also installs and installs an independent suspension all around.
Incidentally, the load is braked with 14 inch (approx. 36 cm) discs at the front and 10,5 inch (approx. 27 cm) discs at the rear. That braking system comes from the house of Wilwood. And of course there are new rims in front of the brake discs. Specifically, there are 19-inch forged aluminum wheels in dark gray that match all available finishes of the Kindred 1969 Camaro upgrade kit. The wheel set is equipped with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires (265/35ZR19 & 315/30ZR19). optical cleant the body is discreet, a few modern details are installed in places (LED headlights, etc.), but the optics are basically left in the standard condition.

And of course the Restomod also has a completely new interior. You can see an interior in which one would like to spend countless hours. With materials like Alcantara and leather never seen before on an original 1969 Camaro, there's a whole new look and feel. The highlights are Recaro Sportster GTSports Seats, a MOMO Mod 08-Sport steering wheel, illuminated displays in the center console and a true-to-original HurstGear levers.
