Kustom Creations Lingenfelter 1968 Camaro RS06

It's not often that we see a classic American muscle car that is powered by a modern-day powerplant. The new Kustom Creations Lingenfelter 1968 Camaro is one of those special treats. Owned by Ken Lingenfelter, the 1968 Camaro was designed by Busta Design and then built by Kustom Creations with a Lingenfelter powerplant and custom Camaro wheels.

Under the hood of the Camaro lies a Chevrolet 427 CID with LPE L92 CNC ported cylinder heads. The engine is force fed by a Harrop TVS MP2300 Supercharger. To reduce backpressure, new Kooks LS7 stainless steel long tube headers have been installed along with a custom three-inch stainless steel dual exhaust and Corsa Pro Series stainless steel tips. This not only gives the Camaro a ferocious exhaust note, but helps boost power. The result of the modifications is a total of 640 horsepower to each of the rear Camaro wheels. The engine upgrades are completed with a new Be-Cool heavy duty aluminum radiator and A/C condenser.

The 1968 Camaro drivetrain borrows many parts from the C5-generation Chevrolet Corvette Z06. The front frame from the Corvette has been widened by 80 mm and fitted with the C5's control arms, hubs, and new K&W coil over shocks. Just like the front suspension, the rear uses the C5's 80 mm widened rear frame, rear control arms, hubs, and new K&W coil over shocks. Even the bell housing, torque tube assembly, six speed manual transmission, and rear differential have been borrowed from the C5 Corvette Z06.

Along with the upgraded chassis, the original Camaro wheels, brakes, and tires have all been upgraded. Six-piston Baer front and rear brakes have been fitted with a Hydratech hydroboost brake booster. Although 3 piece wheels were not originally installed, choosing to equip the Camaro with them will prove advantageous in terms of style and performance. By fitting new 3 piece wheels, acceleration, braking, and handling will improve along with the overall style of the Camaro.

The body of the Camaro is not original either, and features a modern interpretation of the classic design. The body is based on a 1968 Camaro RS with relocated firewall, and has been given a fiberglass hood, stainless steel front grille assembly complete with LED lighting, and custom metalwork to build the C5 Z06 doors and front fenders. The entire rear fascia has been custom designed with a modified rear bumper built from an original 1968 OEM part. The entire exterior is covered in a new Sherwin Williams Caribbean Blue paint with Silver undercoating and finished off with custom RS06 badging.

Even the interior has been upgraded with a new Corvette Z06 dashboard, center console, and steering column. The interior is equipped with a vintage HVAC system, black alcantara seats, and a custom floor.

The 1968 Kustom Creations Lingenfelter Camaro RS06 is a modern interpretation of a classic. With 3 piece wheels, Caribbean Blue paint, and a supercharged 427, the Camaro will be a classic for years to come.
