Someone spent 2,000 hours converting a 2015 Camaro into a ’69 Chevelle

In a bid to replicate Moloko and bring it back, sing it back, bring it back, one 2015 Camaro owner has brought the vintage age back by transforming it into a ’69 Chevelle.

Life was better when we were all young. Prices were better. Weather was better. Cars were better.

So why not take your car and transform it into an upgraded version of a childhood time capsule?

That’s the spirit harnessed in this project that saw a 2015 Camaro be transformed into a classic and beloved ’69 Chevelle… kind of.

This ’69 Chevelle is actually a custom Camaro

The Chevy Chevelle is everything that’s right with vintage cars.

Having been adored back in the ’60s and ’70s, and brought back to life thanks to Dominic Toretto’s Chevelle SS in Fast and Furious, the American muscle car is a cult hero.

Now, one person has created their own 1969 Chevelle with the help of a Camaro body. And 2,000 hours hard graft.

As highlighted on Mecum, the Custom 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle conversion has fiberglass body molds with carbon fiber reinforcement. It was, of course, all hand-crafted to revive the old Chevelle look.

The custom job packs a massive punch. It boasts a 6.2L V-8 engine under the hood, taking more inspiration from Chevrolet bodies, as the LS3 design was first rolled out in the Corvette.

In appearance, the ’69-styled grille and centered emblem capture the essence of the iconic Chevelle from the front. The curved bonnet also looks ripped straight out of its targeted era.

There’s an underwhelming feel as you look inside though. The basic Camaro 2015 stock interior remains, aside from a new pair of headrests.

Still, when you’re cruising down an open road with a dog in the passenger seat dragging its tongue in the wind, who’s really judging your choice of seats?

Wonderfully, this rebuild looks the part, and the 2,000 hours of work to this conversion seems to be time well spent.

The car is heading to auction later this month. The new owner will have to build on the 40k miles this throwback car already has.

But when it looks this good, who cares about mileage?

As for combining eras, this might be the best time travel job we’ve seen since Jason Momoa turned his 1929 Rolls-Royce Phantom II into a modern-day EV.
