Not Your Average Red 1969 Camaro We Promise

Goolsby Customs (GoolsbyCustoms.com) has been making a name for itself by showing up at the yearly SEMA show in Las Vegas with at least one high-profile show car. The Bessemer, Alabama, shop has been turning out top-quality trucks, hot rods, and muscle cars for the past eight years, including the most ambitious and most attractive 1971 Mustang we’ve ever seen (“Pegasus,” HRM June 2012). Skip and Debbie Walls, founders of Lokar Performance Products (Lokar.com), met the Goolsby team at SEMA in 2009 and mentioned they might one day like to collaborate on a project. Just after the 2011 SEMA show, Skip decided he wanted to put together a build to show that Lokar’s products aren’t just for 1932 Fords and 1957 Chevys, since the company seemed to be better known in the street-rod world than in the muscle-car realm. A ’69 Camaro convertible that Skip found on eBay looked like the textbook build candidate. It was complete and rust-free, and the topless car would make the perfect display piece for Lokar’s interior products. Skip’s son, Kevin, contacted the eBay seller and paid the Buy-It-Now price as a surprise for his father. When Skip checked the auction, the car was gone, and he assumed he’d missed his opportunity. He spent a good portion of the PRI show telling the story of his rust-free Camaro that got away only to later reappear as a surprise for him at a Lokar company event. The Camaro proved cleaner than advertised and had all original GM sheetmetal.
