Ringbrothers Unveils Strode 1969 Chevy Camaro At SEMA 2022

Ringbrothers is back at it with a new 1969 Chevy Camaro build for SEMA. This time around, the custom hot rod shop has introduced “Strode,” a carbon fiber widebody one-off producing more than 1,000 horsepower.

The name takes after the Halloween franchise, giving a nod to the main protagonist, Laurie Strode. Unsurprisingly, custom badging continues the theme in select locations. However, one of the craziest things about this Chevy Camaro build is the body, with Ringbrothers pouring much of the labor into the bespoke carbon fiber exterior.

Although the look takes after the original production vehicle, the new Strode Chevy Camaro exterior is wider by five inches, while the rocker panels are now lower, the roof is recessed, and he hood is longer. There’s also a set of custom fender scoops and tucked bumpers front and rear, plus custom aero bits like a diffuser, valance, and spoiler. The final product boasts BASF Glasurit Ghost White paint and rides on HRE wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires.

“The build process of Strode shows what can be accomplished using cutting-edge techniques, painstaking levels of detail and imagination,” said Ringbrothers co-owner Jim Ring. “We digitally modeled the original Camaro body and rendered a more aggressive version of it in carbon fiber. Custom 3D-printed and billet-machined parts were also manufactured and paired with advanced components to make Strode extremely capable and comfortable.”

The custom interior was outfitted by Upholstery Unlimited, and includes highlights such as a JL Audio system, Dakota Digital gauges, Vintage Air Gen IV climate control, and a hand-fabricated roll cage. The sear seat was also deleted.

As for the performance specs, this custom Chevy Camaro is now powered by a Wegner Motorsports LS3 V8 engine topped by a Whipple supercharger. Holley Dominator EFI controls the fuel and air, while hand-built headers and Flowmaster mufflers ease the exit of spent gasses. Max output is rated at 1,010 horsepower, all of which is sent to the tires through a T56 six-speed manual transmission and John Industries 9-inch rear end.

All in all, Ringbrothers says it took more than 6,500 hours to build this custom 1969 Chevy Camaro. The end result, however, speaks for itself.

  1. No. There is absolutely nothing about that car that looks better than the original. Looks like something designed by children.

  2. It’s like drawing a mustache on Mona Lisa, two cars you don’t mess with, ’69 Camaro’s and ’57 Bel Air’s!
