GM, Reggie Jackson and Warren Johnson Team to Build the Ultimate Camaro.

In an effort to introduce GM's new line of LSX engine components, GM Performance Parts has teamed up with baseball legend Reggie Jackson and famed NHRA racer Warren Johnson to build a one-of-a-kind 1969 big block Camaro. Reggie Jackson provided the 1969 Camaro from his private collection of more than 100 cars. Trakon Customs, with the support of Classic Industries, completed a quick restoration of the car prior to its delivery to GM, where it underwent an intense seven-week transformation.

The heart of this project is the LSX block, designed by GM Performance Parts with input from legendary NHRA Pro Stock champion, Warren "The Professor" Johnson. It was filled with a rotating assembly from Lunati and pistons from Mahle before being topped off with GM's own LSX head (similar in design to the now-legendary LS7 head). Cammed up and carbureted, this 454-inch LSX engine made 641 horsepower on pump gas.

While GM Performance Parts provided the drive train, it was up to GM Performance Division to completely modernize the chassis, suspension, braking, and creature comforts of Mr. October's show stopper. The bright red '69 Camaro came out of the GM Performance Division's garages with a complete ZO6-inspired race suspension and aggressive "Pro Touring" stance. The car should easily run 10-second quarter miles and keep pace with a new Corvette around corners.

The new GM LSX block sells under the part number 19166454 and has a street price of about $2,000.
