Project cars have a tendency to be expensive and time consuming, but few require the amount of money and effort that went into this unique 1969 Chevrolet Camaro.

Dubbed the Camaro Z/409, the model draws inspiration from a rendering that was featured in the September 2009 issue of Hot Rod magazine. Created by Steve Stanford, the rendering showed a Camaro which incorporated a number of styling elements from classic Chevrolet vehicles including the 1957 Bel Air, 1961 ‘Bubble Top’ Impala, 1962 Impala SS 409 and 1965 Corvair as well as the 1966 and 1967 Corvette.

A reader liked what they saw and decided to bring the car to fruition. This wasn’t an easy task as Classic Car Investments says the model took nearly seven years and over 5,000 man hours to create. It also wasn’t cheap as the owner reportedly spent more than $500,000 (£406,525 / €457,200) on the vehicle.

It’s easy to see why as virtually every component is either classic or custom. This includes the “rear third of a 1965 Corvair roof,” a custom rear window and modified body panels. The interior is also special as it features a 1961 Chevrolet dashboard, new gauges and factory-style air ducts – among other things.

Power is provided by a 6.7-liter V8 engine that has been bored and stroked to 7.7-liters. It also features an aluminum intake, Carter carburetors and an output of 498 hp (371 kW / 505 PS) and 466 lb-ft (631 Nm) of torque. The engine is connected to a Turbo 400 three-speed automatic transmission which sends power to a Ford 9-inch rear end.

Despite the classic styling, there are an assortment of modern upgrades. These include a Heidts sub-frame, a 4-link suspension and Wilwood disc brakes. Other updates include air conditioning, a tilt steering column and a “top-of-the-line stereo system.”

The Camaro is currently listed for sale on eBay with a buy it now price of $195,000 (£158,491 / €178,308). The seller also noted the car has been driven less than 20 miles (32 km) since the build was completed.
