Vehicle build by Born Vintage Hot Rods, Bakersfield, CA
1969 Chevrolet Camaro
The boys at Born Vintage Hot Rods know how to put their own brand of styling “seasoning” on every build that rolls through their shop. One of the latest projects, a ’69 Camaro, is no exception with just the right amount of spiciness. That attitude comes from many elements, but the custom tube chassis equipped with Heidts IRS is the backbone of the build. A built LS7 backed by a TREMEC six-speed offers up the go while Wilwood brakes bring the slow.
The stance will be nice and low thanks to that tube chassis. A set of Forgeline VX1S monoblocks tuck into the fenders and are finished in a satin charcoal. Custom-machined hood vents now face forward and act as mini scoops. All these subtle little bits add up to another build with substantial character.
