Sweet! Paddle-shift-equipped Pro-Touring '68 Camaro

Filed under: Motorsports, Chevrolet

There are a lot of cool looking 1968 Camaros on the street. Head over to Detroit for the Woodward Dream Cruise in August and we're sure you'll see more than you can count. Many are stock, but some sport mag wheels, blowers, heavily modified engines... you name it, you'll see it. Over at Twist Machine, they took a Camaro with a 406 All Iron Small Block Chevy-Carbureted V8 and mated it to a paddle-shifted manumatic 4L60E transmission.
Using your own technology in an expensive hot-rod is a good way to show off your company's mechanical prowess and considering that traditional manuals are falling out of favor, the time to strike is now.
Some of the other cool mods done to this hot-rod include a ten-point roll cage, Baer 13"/12" brakes, and lower control arms and uprights pulled from an '87 Corvette.

We like the idea of equipping a 20th century classic with some 21st century tech, but we don't think it's destined for the I-75 commute anytime soon.

Be sure to check out the video of the Camaro in action, but be forewarned, it takes some time to load.

Pro-touring styles and muscle cars are a long going mod for these cars, most take the look but a select few actually make it a full on pro touring, I love these mid to late 60's pro touring cars.

There is a black 67 chevelle ss that is dont like that 68's camaro is, Chevy hi performance did a write up and photospread of it a few years back, the guy road raced the shit out of it.
