For the 1968 model year, the first-generation Camaro received side marker lights on the front and rear fenders, a pointier grille, as well as divided taillights. General Motors had also staggered the rear shock absorber mounts to subdue wheel hop, and high-performance trims were improved by replacing the mono-leaf rear springs with multi-leaf units.

About five years ago, the folks over at online performance parts shop Speedway Motors purchased a”slightly crusty and barely running” blue 1970 Chevy Camaro with the intention of turning it into a high-performance restomod. The main purpose of this car would be to develop and promote its new second-gen F-body G-Comp front and rear suspension systems, but the car has since become a catch-all engineering test mule for the company, serving as a rolling testbed for the different F-body parts and components that it sells.
In a recent blog post, Speedway Motors provided a little more information and background on its 1970 Chevy Camaro, which it describes as a “race car with a license plate that has seen almost constant updates and evolution since it first hit the track.” As it sits today, the blue Camaro boasts G-Comp Unser Edition front and rear suspension, a 7.0L LS7 V8 engine with Speedway Motors heads and a modified Tremec TKO 600 five-speed manual transmissio

Without a doubt, restomods are one of the hottest commodities in the collector car world right now. Taking old cars and making them into more comfortable, more drivable vehicles has become all the rage. However, for purists, a good old-fashioned affordable hot rod is tough to beat. That is the appeal of our feature truck, a 1949 Chevy 3100 Five Window pickup.
This Chevy 3100 started with the original steel body. New rear fenders had to be fitted, but the rest was in reasonably solid shape. The paint is an artificial patina finish with a flat clear coat. Reclaimed barn wood lines the bed, with new polished stainless steel strips filling the gaps. A single-piece windshield has been fitted, along with new door latches, tail lights, and 17-inch American Racing wheels shod in deep Firestone rubber. The suspension has been lowered with a Heidts-style Mustang II independent front suspension with power steering and QA1 shocks in the rear. Stopping power comes courtesy of CP
