If someone told us their track day and autocross car had been built in just 48 hours, we’d probably be a bit weary to hop in the passenger seat and go for a ride. That’s exactly how long it took to slap this restomod Chevrolet Camaro together, though, and despite this, it appears to be a very sound and well-built Pro Touring car.
This split-bumper 1970 Chevrolet Camaro restomod is known as the 48 Hour Camaro, as it was built in just 48 hours (over a six-day period, however) at Barrett-Jackson’s Scottsdale auction in 2018. The build was funded by the suspension specialists at Ridetech, who spared no expense on the project, adorning it with some of the most sought-after and high-quality aftermarket performance parts you can buy today.
The 48 Hour Camaro is now for sale at Sherman, Texas-based dealership Classic Car Liquidators, who are asking a rather significant $99,999 for it. We know that’s a ton of money for a highly modified 1970 Camaro with almost no original parts, but as we mentioned above, this restomod features some of the best third-party performance parts you can buy. The list of modifications is too long to cover completely, but some highlights include Ridetech adjustable coilovers, Baer brakes, a Currie rear end and Forgeline wheels with sticky performance rubber.
Under the hood is a Lingenfelter-built LSx V8 engine, which has been upgraded with a Lingenfelter roller camshaft, Lingenfelter CNC ported heads, a Holley EFI and fuel delivery system and countless other performance add-ons. The engine is paired not with a four-speed manual transmission, surprisingly, but with a Bowler-built 4L75E automatic designed specifically for autocross.
Considering the going rate for a nice split-bumper 1970 Camaro, along with the value of a Lingenfelter engine and Bowler transmission, $99,000 isn’t such a steep price for this hastily built Chevy. Check out the ad at this link for some additional photos of it and a complete parts list, and feel free to us know if you think it’s worth its asking price in the comments.

This is not an original split bumper car. If it was the front turn signals would not be beneath the bumper. But, nice ride nonetheless.
Does this car come with a factory warranty? If not, I think I’ll just buy 2 new C8 corvettes.
