1969 Danz Camaro SS "concept"

The 1969 Chevy Camaro is perhaps the most overdone and the most popular muscle car of all time. Every car show, every car magazine has featured more than it's fair share of '69 Camaros. As a matter of fact, there are a couple of companies out there that will supply you with everything you need to build a "new" one.

The 1969's popularity is obviously a big reason why Chevrolet used the car as it's inspiration for the 2010 Camaro. But what would happen if someone had the opposite idea, and wanted to model a '69 after the 2010?

The answer is this particular car, the 1969 Danz Camaro SS concept. While we have mixed feelings on this one, it is an interesting piece and the anser to an interesting question that maybe nobody asked.

1969 Chevrolet Camaro gets a ZR1 LS9

The 1969 Camaro is the "been there, done that" car for hot rodders, and you can almost hear the moans around the country every time Hot Rod features one in it's magazine (even one that featured a Toyota Supra mill). But with new engines come new possibilities, and the new LS9 motor is a beast in all respects.

This particular Camaro, constructed by GM engineer and Pro Touring stud Mark Stielow, is the first classic Camaro to feature GM's most powerful production motor ever. Stielow also added the wheels, tires, and carbon ceramic brakes from the ZR1, along with an Art Morrison subframe and a Tremec T56 tranny from a Dodge Viper.

You have to give Stielow credit, as the quality of the build looks top notch and it's not easy to create something so unique from something so played out.
