The old saying goes, “It ain’t how you look, it’s what you got under the hood.” This saying particularly applies to gearheads who don’t have time for paint and body work. They just want their ride to go fast. This 1967 Camaro, owned by Jacob Hopper, is one such vehicle.

Under the hood is an engine that many believe to be the king of the Chevy powerplants. The 7.0-liter all-aluminum (block and heads) LT5 is a supercharged gem that could churn out 755hp and 715 lb.-ft. of torque in factory condition. You might have seen one in a 2019 version of the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. Cylinder cooling fins, a dry sump lubrication system and a 2.9-liter supercharger are all standard fare on the LT5. This one is running a factory controller and wiring harness.

The transmission is a Tremec T-56 Magnum 6-speed manual, and the rear end is a 9-inch Ford frontloader with 3.70:1 gearing.

Underneath, we have a stock chassis with Speed Pro components. The wheels are Forgeline and the four-wheel (manual) disc brakes are from Wilwood.

Jacob laid this build out and put it together in his one-bay garage. Kudos my man and thank you for your service.
