The RideTech Camaro, Velocity, is up for grabs at Barrett-Jackson...

The time has come to had over the reigns to a new owner. If this Camaro seems familiar, that's because it made the cover of the February 2009 issue. We did a complete feature on the car and it's remained one of our most memorable builds. This year, Barrett-Jackson will be auctioning off the 1968 RideTech Camaro to a new owner. It's better known as, "Velocity" and it packs quite a punch with a ton of hand-built parts and the performance to back it up. If you're interested in taking Velocity home or just want to get in on the action, Speed Channel will be covering the auction from Scottsdale, Arizona. It's all set to happen January 22, 2011 (lot# 1278). We've left all the details below on the build and the contact info for RideTech, Barrett-Jackson and the link to our feature from February 2009. Don't miss out! 

THE DETAILS...
This car started off as an incredibly straight survivor car. The six cylinder has been replaced by a new LS2 engine that is dyno proven for 650HP.

It has a set of newly developed 2″ tube headers from Dynatech and the just released Front Runner drive system from Vintage Air. The fuel, ignition, and transmission electronics are controlled by a Big Stuff 3 EFI system and MSD electronic ignition.

The transmission is a ZF 6 Speed .

The wheels are a 3 piece “classic” series from CCW in a 18×11 with a 6.75 backspace on the rear and a 18×8 with a 5.5” backspace on the front. The tires are 335/30-18 on the rear and 245/40-18 on the front.

Bear supplied the disc brake system consisting of 13” diameter rotors and 6 piston calipers on the front and a 12” rotor with a 4 piston caliper and an internal park brake on the rear. The rear axle is a 9” Ford with a 3:70 gear.

Controlling this beast will be a IDIDIT Column connected to a 12.7:1 steering box from Detroit Speed. The complete wiring system was supplied by American Autowire.

On the interior there is a RacePak IQ3 dash, custom Cerullo Seats, Detroit Speed 7 speed wiper system and a complete Kicker Stereo system with a 5 channel amp and 8 speakers. Air conditioning is handled by Vintage Air.

The color is Hot Hues Velocity Orange, that was specifically mixed for this car. The bare metal stripes were accomplished by the craftsmen at Precision Coachworks.

The suspension is the complete Street Challenge air suspension package from RideTech. The front system consists of the StrongArm, DA ShockWaves, Musclebar, PosiLinks, and billet tie rod adjusters. The rear system uses the AirBar and DA ShockWaves in conjunction with the Detroit Speed mini tubs to allow the larger 335 series rear tire. The 4100 series AirPod with the LevelPro sensors controls the air system.
