1967 Chevrolet Camaro - Roadster Shop SPEC Chassis Pro Touring Build
680 RWHP LS3/LSA Hybrid Tremec 6-Speed B5 Blue Metallic $300k+ Documented
This 1967 Camaro was built to be a true Pro Touring car-not a cosmetic “restomod,” and not a drag-only build. The goal was a late-60s road race look with modern-day chassis engineering, drivability, braking, and high-speed stability. The result is a Camaro that feels tight and refined like a modern performance car, but still delivers the raw engagement of a manual transmission, high-horsepower LS power, and a properly sorted suspension.
Built over approximately 2.5 years, this Camaro features a Roadster Shop SPEC Chassis, a professionally assembled Queen City Speed LS3/LSA hybrid producing 680 horsepower at the rear wheels, and a no-shortcuts approach to fabrication, wiring, plumbing, and finish quality. The car has approximately 1,200 miles since completion and includes a 6-inch documentation binder with receipts, spec sheets, and over $300,000 in documented costs.
CHASSIS, STRUCTURE & BUILD QUALITY
Roadster Shop SPEC Chassis (Foundation of the Build)
This is not a factory subframe or modified stock structure-this Camaro is built on a Roadster Shop SPEC Chassis, designed specifically for first-generation Camaro applications.
Key chassis advantages:
Fully boxed frame designed to eliminate factory unibody flex
Powder-coated for durability and a clean underside presentation
Engineered to accept:
Modern wheel/tire widths
High-horsepower drivetrains
Aggressive suspension geometry
Integrated provisions for:
drivetrain mounting
front/rear suspension components
brake system mounting
fuel system routing
exhaust routing
Built to maintain proper body alignment and panel fit while dramatically improving rigidity
RB Fabrications - Integration & Final Assembly
The chassis integration, fabrication work, and final assembly were handled by RB Fabrications, with a strong emphasis on:
Symmetry and clean execution
Serviceability (components placed and routed to be maintained correctly)
Hidden fasteners and clean mounting solutions
No exposed unfinished areas
Clean routing throughout:
wiring
plumbing
fuel lines
brake lines
exhaust
Sound Deadening / NVH Refinement
Despite the power level, the car was finished with a modern “tight” feel:
Full Dynamat throughout the floors and doors
Helps reduce resonance, vibration, and harshness
Adds to the “solid modern car” sensation when driving
SUSPENSION & HANDLING (True Pro Touring Setup)
Roadster Shop SPEC Suspension (Front & Rear)
This Camaro is built to drive-not just to sit low and look aggressive. The suspension geometry is designed around modern radial grip and real-world handling.
Dialed-in characteristics:
Neutral cornering balance (not pushy or twitchy)
Predictable turn-in
High-speed stability
Strong braking stability
Controlled weight transfer under acceleration
Set up to hook under power, not just spin tires
This is a street and road-course focused setup, avoiding the compromises of drag-only suspension tuning.
BRAKING SYSTEM (Matched to the Power)
BAER 4-Wheel Disc Brakes + Stainless Lines
With 680 RWHP on tap, braking matters-and this car has a serious system:
BAER four-wheel disc brakes
Performance calipers and rotors sized appropriately for:
vehicle weight
tire footprint
power output
Stainless steel brake lines throughout
Pedal feel is described as:
firm
progressive
modern-performance-car consistent
WHEELS & TIRES (Correctly Sized for Grip + Response)
Billet Specialties Custom Wheels
Custom 5-spoke design built specifically for this chassis setup
Aggressive stance without compromising drivability or clearance
Michelin Pilot Sport Tires (Performance street/handling tire)
Front: 245/35R18
Rear: 305/30R19
Why this works:
Front sizing maintains sharp steering response
Rear sizing gives real traction under heavy torque
Balanced grip without turning the car into a “wide tire drag setup”
ENGINE & POWERTRAIN (680 RWHP, Documented)
Queen City Speed LS3/LSA Hybrid
This is a professionally assembled LS-based hybrid build designed for:
durability
street drivability
broad power delivery
modern EFI control
Key points:
680 horsepower at the rear wheels (dyno verified)
Dyno sheets included
Power delivery is described as usable and broad, not peaky or temperamental
Designed for sustained driving, not just short pulls
Engine Bay Presentation (High-End Detail Work)
This bay was finished like a show car:
Hidden wiring
Hidden ignition components
Concealed battery
Clean firewall and tidy accessory layout
Overall: a “smoothed” and refined engine compartment without clutter
Cooling / Heat Management
Component placement and airflow designed for real driving
No reports of overheating or heat soak issues in normal operation
Built for extended cruises and spirited driving, not just short trips
EXHAUST (Custom Built for Sound + Comfort)
Hand-Fabricated, Thermally Managed System
The exhaust was engineered for a rare combination:
aggressive tone under throttle
reduced highway drone
clean routing and professional finish
Features:
Fully custom fabrication
Wrapped/thermally managed where appropriate
Routed within the chassis properly-no hanging components, no shortcuts
Diffused design intended to keep long-distance driving comfortable
TRANSMISSION & DRIVELINE (Modern Manual Experience)
Tremec 6-Speed Manual
A true driver's setup:
Modern gearing for:
strong acceleration in lower gears
relaxed cruising at highway speeds
Hydraulic clutch system for smooth and consistent engagement
Driveline components selected to handle torque output reliably with:
minimal vibration
clean shifting behavior
stable drivability
