LSA-Powered 1970 Chevrolet Camaro Sport Coupe 6-Speed

This 1970 Chevrolet Camaro Sport Coupe, originally sold at Wehrs Chevrolet in Bangor, Wisconsin, in March 1970, underwent a custom build in 2019. The build included significant upgrades, such as chassis modifications, the installation of a supercharged 6.2-liter LSA V8 engine, a Tremec six-speed manual transmission, and a Strange 9″ rear axle. Additionally, it features Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes, a Checkered Racing front suspension kit, and a Detroit Speed Quadralink rear suspension with adjustable coilovers. Other notable components include a center console, aftermarket digital stereo, Vintage Air climate control, Dakota Digital gauges, dual exhaust, aluminum radiator, and 17″ Rally-style wheels. Acquired by the selling dealer in 2024, the car comes with an owner’s manual, a Protect-O-Plate, and a clean Minnesota title.

The Camaro is finished in metallic green with chrome bumpers, front and rear spoilers, dual mirrors, and quad taillights. Some paint chips, scratches, and areas of cracking are visible in the accompanying gallery. The 17″ Rally-style wheels are fitted with Falken Azenis tires (245/45 front and 275/40 rear) and paired with Wilwood disc brakes. The 2018 build also introduced a rack-and-pinion steering system with the Checkered Racing front suspension and Detroit Speed Quadralink rear setup.

Inside, the cabin showcases black and white checkered cloth upholstery on the front bucket and rear seats, complemented by a black dashboard, carpeting, and door panels. Features include a Hurst shifter, floor-mounted center console, aftermarket digital stereo, and Vintage Air climate control. The woodgrain bezel houses Dakota Digital VHX gauges, including a 160-mph speedometer, tachometer, dual digital displays, and readouts for fuel, voltage, coolant temperature, and oil pressure. The digital odometer shows approximately 1,600 miles, though the total mileage is unknown.

Under the hood, the supercharged 6.2-liter LSA V8 engine, installed in 2018, is paired with an aluminum Be Cool radiator, dual electric cooling fans, a CVF accessory drive system, and coated exhaust headers that lead into a dual exhaust system with a crossover pipe. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via the Tremec six-speed manual transmission, a QA1 carbon-fiber driveshaft, and a Strange 9″ rear axle with a 3.73:1 limited-slip differential.
