Default Can you truly make a ‘69 Chevelle drive smooth/tight/new???

Is it possible to truely make one of these cars drive smooth/tight/new???

I currently have an ‘18 Camaro SS 1LE which has only 1400 miles on it which is 100% stock and unmolested. I love the car, but I rarely get to drive it and don’t truely ‘enjoy’ it because the damn this is so damn nice, I don’t want to mess with it at all. I miss tinkering with a car and would love to ‘build’ something or atleast update it along the way. My 1LE is pretty much ‘too much’ car for what I’m doing…which is basically cruising.

With the way the car market is, I’m thinking of unloading my 1LE for a hefty profit and finally getting a restomod/pro-touring car like I’ve always dreamed of doing.

I’d love a black ‘69 Chevelle (or maybe Camaro) with an LS3 (or LS7) and a T56, that can drive smooth, tight, rattle and knock free! Stockish style suspension wether it be global west, hotckis, umi, bmr or whoever to achieve this is fine. I’m not looking to build a track car, but rather a GOOD cruiser that drives damn well and won’t make me regret selling my current like new 1LE.

Buying a roller that has the body work done, a turn-key car with stock suspension (that I can then update myself) or anything in between is fine with me. I could care less about it being an SS or whatnot, but I just want a GOOD restoration to ‘new’ with a current drivetrain and whatever off the shelf parts are needed to achieve my goal.

I’m asking this because any older muscle car I’ve driven has been half assed and drove like a damn tractor. I want something that is proper, if that’s even possible.

So, is what I’m seeking honestly possible?
