For this build, Shawn from Autotopia LA dipped down into NASCAR country. Moorseville, North Carolina is right at the heart of circle track racing. It’s also where Vinny Giglio calls home. Vinny is a car guy that also happens to have a sweet spot for the downtown Moorseville area. The 1967 Camaro featured in this video is a tribute to a major development project in this North Carolina town that is known for speed. It’s an interesting story as Vinny tells it.

Under the hood of this old Chevy is a modern LS7 V8 engine. At 7.0-liters, the LS7 features a forged 4140 crankshaft and forged titanium connecting rods. The camshaft is a hydraulic roller, and the cylinder heads are all aluminum. The GM Performance LS7 is assembled by hand at the assembly plant in Wixom, Michigan. The naturally aspirated engine is rated at approximately 600hp.

Shifting duties are handled via a Tremec T-56 manual gearbox backed up by a Ford 9-inch rear end.

Detroit Speed (also based in Moorseville) contributed most of the chassis and suspension components. The brakes are from Wilwood.

Exterior and interior upgrades are extensive and beautifully done. The paint is a Kia color over a custom basecoat.

This is a gorgeous car that is built to “tote the mail.”
