I've seen this car a few times on the net as its owned by one of the modsof the Pro-Touring forum, Steve Rupp. I saw it on a forum again today, which reminded me I should share it with you guys.
'Bad Penny' is a 1968 Chevrolet Camaro with an LS2 engine, six speed box with 580bhp. Nice and clean!
However, the build wasn't plain sailing. The original intention was to do just a couple of things to the car. As with most builds it ended up as a complete rebuild. The car was nearing completion in May 2007, when it was hit from behind by a truck suffering damage (below). Luckily an insurance pay-out resulted in a quick rebuild ready to be shown at SEMA last November.
The craftsmanship on this vehicle is just stunning. Other modifications include a Corvette C5 suspension, new braking system and, of course, Forgeline wheels. In fact there isn't much left that is standard.
The great thing about this car....it gets used. Fantastic!
