1968 Pro Touring Procharged Camaro "Vertigo" for sale
It was with much sadness that I post this car for sale after a 3+ year journey with lots of ups and downs along the way.
What started as a simple driver Camaro build evolved into a full pro touring tire shredder with up to 800 crank horsepower on tap. I was always one to say I just wanted the car to be done so I could enjoy it, but I actually did enjoy the roller coaster ride of the build and the many friends I made along the way.
Business issues force this sale. We actually had record sales in 09 but when 2 of your largest clients cannot pay you this is what happens. I vow to be back in a bad ass muscle car sooner rather than later.
The car has less than 300 miles on the odometer since the build was completed, and most of that was the weekend trip from Sacramento to Pleasanton for the Goodguys Autumn Get Together, where this car won Cool Camaro award in a sea of Camaros. I was pretty proud of that award.
The motor is currently being refreshed with new pistons, rings, bearings, and gaskets and will be installed back in the car in the following couple weeks. Car is at Gearhead Garage in Sacramento and can be viewed during business hours there. Jason can answer pretty much every question you have there, and if not, ask me. Most answers can be found on my website or viewing the parts list below.
If no bites here, it will be going to ebay shortly. Lots of stalled projects for sale right now I know. This is a turnkey car with all parts brand new or having a couple hundred miles. Come buy it and drive it away.
Asking $62,000. Like most of these builds, you know there is a helluva lot more invested in this car than that price.

Dude,
I cant believe youre selling your car. Actually, youre puking your car at that price. Im just at the end of my build, and Ive been pratically bled dry and my wife hates me. I can only pray for luck that nothing catastrophic happens to my family or to anyone else in this sport, the pain is too great after so much time and effort to see a project through to the end. There is one reason and one reason only that I have my particular shifter in my car, and thats because I saw it in your car. I cant even imagine how bad this has to hurt, and I hope the money you get goes a long way. I hope it makes you succesful enough to help you come back to this sport soon, pal!
Can't tell you how bad this sucks----So, we probably won't be seeing you in June then--we were all looking forward to that---nonetheless, good luck with the sale bro--
Thanks you guys. As much as it sucks to have to put this up for sale, it makes me feel warm and fuzzy to read the supportive comments and best wishes on here because I know they are very sincere.
This will absolutely not be my final muscle car. That I can assure.
I am subscribing to the school of thought that everything happens for a reason. We'll see how it all turns out.
Thanks again guys. I was really looking forward to meeting up with many of you on a cruise thrash session. Hopefully that day may still come.
