Professionally built by Visser's Rod and Custom, this Camaro is a stunning, comprehensive frame-off restoration, built with a clear pro-touring objective and an emphasis on mechanical precision. The build centers on a fully developed mechanical package, with components selected to work together under real-world performance conditions. Documentation of the build accompanies the car, supporting the quality and scope of the restoration.
The body is expertly finished in Metallic Silver and reflects a high level of fit and finish, with straight panels, tight gaps, and well-executed bodywork throughout. The car presents with an RS Z/28-inspired appearance, featuring Z/28 badging, a cowl induction hood, and RS hidden headlights that give the front end an iconic look. Exterior details include sport mirrors and a custom fabricated exhaust system routed through the rear bumper, a subtle yet impactful modification. Staggered 18" Fikse FM-5S wheels are a premium upgrade fitted with ultra-wide 275mm front and 335mm rear Continental ExtremeContact Sport tires, giving the car a planted stance and substantial footprint.
Power is provided by a proven LS7 7.0L crate engine featuring factory dry-sump lubrication, paired with a Tremec Magnum 6-speed manual transmission and hydraulic clutch. A heavy duty Currie 9" rear axle with 3.89 gears and limited-slip differential manages power delivery. Supporting components include DSE stainless long tube headers feeding a stainless exhaust system with Borla mufflers. The chassis has been significantly upgraded with Detroit Speed components, including a DSE hydroformed front subframe, front and rear coilover suspension, DSE QuadraLink rear suspension, subframe connectors, and mini tubs, resulting in improved geometry and increased tire clearance. DSE power steering is fitted, and braking is handled by power four-wheel Baer disc brakes with 6-piston calipers, providing modern stopping power to rein in the car's impressive performance.
The interior combines factory-inspired design with performance-focused upgrades. Recaro bucket seats are upholstered in black and paired with a custom rear bench that mirrors their clean, understated appearance. A four-point roll cage is integrated into the cabin, adding structural rigidity. The driver is positioned behind a billet 3-spoke steering wheel with a full complement of AutoMeter gauges, while a custom center console incorporates storage, cup holders, and the Tremec shifter. Modern air conditioning is provided via a Vintage Air system with integrated controls, and amenities include power windows and an Alpine AM/FM/CD head unit with Bluetooth and SiriusXM capability.
Documented as a Visser's Rod and Custom build completed in 2020, this Camaro reflects a multi-year effort that reportedly spanned nearly a decade from start to finish. The car is accompanied by a substantial collection of build receipts and component manuals that detail the scope and execution of the restoration. Also included is the original Protect-O-Plate, further supporting the car's history. With its extensive documentation and thoroughly developed build, this Camaro represents a well-sorted and carefully assembled pro-touring example.
