Default Finn's Auto Restoration 69 Concept Camaro

Wanted to share some pic's of our 69 Concept Camaro.

Finns Auto Restoration & Custom. www.finnsautorestoration.com

We are located in Molalla Oregon and have been in business since 1992. Molalla is within an hour of Portland Oregon. We are one of the larger Restoration shops in the State of Oregon. We usually have 15-25 Restorations going on at a time.

Our project is based off of a 69 Camaro that we have redesigned to be more modern inside & out. The drive train is newer Corvette (C5-C6) front & rear suspension, LS7 engine, and 6 speed transaxle.

The Chassis is an Art Morrison Max-G modified by Schroder Speed & Custom to accept the Corvette transaxle & narrow the Corvette rear suspension mounting points. Brembo 15" 6 piston front & 13.5 4 piston rear brakes.

The engine is a GMPP LS7 with a Magnuson TVS2300 supercharger. The engine is being upgraded by Mast Motorsports with their Blower cam & M90 ECM & engine harness. The engine should make over 775hp. Front drive assembly is a Vintage Air front runner.

Sponsors include:
American Auto Wire; hwy 22 kit.
Brembo Brakes; 15" drilled front 6 piston, 13.5 " drilled rear 4 piston mono block.

Would love to come out and see your car. Good luck on it. You are also welcome to come out for a visit.

You have David to thank for there being any thing posted on here about my project. He has been bugging me to post on here. And he was Right!

We will have Davids 69 Camaro back here soon.

We have a Protouring 68 Convert with an LS2, 6speed, Art Morrison front sub frame & C-4 rear end you can check out also.

Thanks, Denny
