Jeff Duponts 69 Camaro                                                    Lateral-g.net July '12  Feature of the Month

Jeff has always wanted a 69 Camaro. It wasn't until he saw a cool protouring style car being built that he knew what he really wanted.

So he soon began his search for a nice clean 69 Camaro. He found one on Craigslist and went to check it out. It was a real Lemans Blue 350SS with a 4 speed and he bought it on the spot. For most of that first year of owning the car he just drove it around in the condition that he bought it in. By the end of that first summer Jeff decided to give his Camaro the full Pro Touring treatment.. The main goal Jeff wanted to achieve was to keep the car looking pretty much stock except for some custom wheels and big brakes. He wanted a car with all the factory chrome and stainless trim and an interior that still had a 69 Camaro feel to it. He also wanted the reliability of a modern drive train; a car that was very subtle looking that most people wouldn't know was totally custom.
