YearOne teamed up with GM Performance Parts to build a modern classic for this year’s SEMA show to celebrate the rebirth of the legendary Camaro nameplate. The car started life as YearOne’s Mail Order Camaro, the first complete vehicle built from the reproduction Camaro convertible bodies produced by Dynacorn. YearOne built the car in 2006, documenting the process in a book that’s since sold thousands of copies.  For SEMA ’08, the Mail Order Camaro was treated to a thorough makeover. 

The car was taken down to the bare shell again and rebuilt using the most modern components available in the expansive Camaro aftermarket. GM Performance Parts contributed a state-of-the-art 376-inch LSX-based engine backed by a Tremec T-56 six-speed transmission. A Moser 12-bolt rear axle puts the power to the ground. Detroit Speed and Engineering provided the suspension system for the car, including their incredible hydro-formed front subframe that features tubular upper and lower control arms, forged aluminum Corvette spindles, power steering rack and adjustable coil-over shock absorbers. Out back is a DSE Quadra-Link adjustable four-link rear suspension along with adjustable Koni coil-over shocks. The car is wearing GM Performance Part’s official color made famous by Chevy’s factory Corvette road racers – Millenium Yellow.
