New Project: 69 GoodGuys Camaro

RideTech and Goodguys have had a long business relationship that spans over 15 years…including building their 70 Chevelle giveaway car in 2008 and their 70 Nova giveaway car in 2010. Unlike those 2 giveaway program cars, the G/RS Camaro will be a permanent fixture of the Goodguys stable and will driven to most of the events in 2013 and beyond.

The G/RS Camaro will feature many of the typical protour type components:
Supercharged LSA engine from GM Performance Products
Tremec T56 Magnum 6 speed
Moser rearend
Baer Brakes
RideTech coilover suspension and TigerCage
Flowmaster headers and exhaust
Forgeline wheels
Vintage Air A/C system
Kicker Stereo
Marquez interior and billet components
Interior by Hudson Rod and Custom
Dakota Digital VX Series guage pod
PPG paint
Flush windshield and backglass by Classic Auto Innovations
American Autowire wiring
Fuel tank by Ricks Stainless Tanks
…and more goodies from Ricks Camaro Parts and Speedway Motors

It will also have some tasteful and subtle body and trim changes as you can see from the rendering. The bumpers and stripes will be metalfinished, the glass flushed, the driprails removed, special lighting created…and more mods you’ll have to hunt for!

Construction on the Camaro began in April with the completion date to be in October 2012. When completed look for it to hit some of the various track day events across the country, including the Goodguys autocross series. RideTech and Goodguys will be posting build pictures along the way and will offer regular text and video updates on a new online build journal and on facebook.

RideTech President Bret Voelkel commented: While Ridetech’s focus is in suspension design and manufacturing, building hotrods has been a great way for our company to refine and develop new related products. To be truly invested in suspensions systems, we have to be able to be truly invested in the cars they are installed in. We believe in driving these things…and so does Goodguys. We are very proud to be building this Camaro for Goodguys and can’t wait to see it on the street and on the track!
