By now, most "born in the 70s" car nuts are well aware that the forthcoming Transformers movie is going to feature some unique one-off cars of the new Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro, and many others. Some spy shots have been tossed around showing the potential for Saleen Inc to produce a spiced-up version of the upcoming Camaro. CarCrazy.com Assistant Editor John Breaux was able to track down Steve Saleen at the 2006 Cruisin the Coast Auto Show in Biloxi, Mississippi to get tell us more about what the future holds (dialogue text below). |

Pulling the cover off of a 69 Camaro Speedster this year at SEMA will be the job of Baldwin-Motion, who is known for their radical classic Camaro projects. The car is based on a 1969 donor car, but the year is probably the only thing stock about it. The car features a 540 cubic inch big block with Kinsler fuel injection. The engine rests on a full tube chassis. The roadsters 600 horsepower will be transmitted to the fully independent rear end suspension while turning is assisted by a power rack and pinion setup. Custom interior and racing seats and harnesses will go along nicely with the chromed roll bar. This will surely be one of the ultimate cruising cars on display at SEMA 2006. Its bright yellow color will catch eyes all across the show floor. Stay tuned to RPM as more information comes in as SEMA gets closer. |
