Robert Kostash - '69 Camaro RS Yenko Pro-Tour


The shop that completed the Pro-Tour project has used Keisler 5 speed and 6 speed kits numerous times...they were keen to do another Keisler TKO600 for my car.  I also highlighted the progress through the winter on Pro-Touring.com. The car now drives just super, with the tight shifting Tremec.  I just love the overdrive!
Cheers, Rob

Joseph Coppola - '67 Camaro


You made my Camaro a real fun car to drive again.  I have had the car for 20 plus years.  I have been a racer and builder for years.  Six years ago, I started building the car again with my son.  I wanted a car that could be auto crossed and driven every day.  It has a built 383 dfi injected motor, TKO600, chassiworks front clip, and hotrods to hell 3 link in the rear along with a bunch of other trick things.  All the work was done in my garage.  I had a good jw's trani in her, but tough on the street and no good for auto cross.  Since putting in your trani kit, I can drive it anywhere.
