Step into the world where classic muscle meets cutting-edge engineering, and you will find masterpieces like the Ringbrothers VALKYRJA Camaro. Unveiled at the 2019 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, this extraordinary 1969 Chevrolet Camaro embodies the ultimate blend of heritage and modern innovation. It is more than just a car; it is a testament to what happens when boundless creativity combines with meticulous craftsmanship, pushing the boundaries of what a restomod can be.
Powerhouse Within: VALKYRJA’s Extreme Performance
Under the meticulously crafted hood of the Ringbrothers VALKYRJA rests a formidable powertrain. It features a 416-cubic inch Wegner Motorsports LS3 engine, topped with a potent 2.9-liter Whipple supercharger. This combination allows the VALKYRJA to unleash an astounding 890 horsepower. Power is efficiently delivered through a Bowler six-speed Tremec transmission, which has been specially reworked to handle this extreme output. The chassis and suspension components are supplied by Detroit Speed Engineering, ensuring superior handling. Furthermore, a John’s Industries 9-inch rear end expertly helps put all that incredible power to the ground, translating it into exhilarating motion.
Engineering Excellence: Modern Materials and Methods
Ringbrothers always strive to outdo themselves, and VALKYRJA was no exception. This build ventured into new territory, both in its visionary design and its flawless execution. Modern technology played a crucial role in its development, with 3D scanning and advanced CAD design shaping every detail. The car was skillfully assembled using contemporary materials, including lightweight carbon fiber. Many custom parts were precision-crafted through a combination of intricate 3D printing and precise CNC machining. This integration of new and old techniques creates a car with a truly classic look, yet its underpinnings, materials, and technology are entirely modern, forming the perfect fusion of style and raw performance.
Bespoke Build: Attention to Every Detail
For this no-expense-spared build, Ringbrothers collaborated with industry-leading sponsors. A Flowmaster Stainless Steel Super 44 Series exhaust system enhances the engine’s powerful growl, providing a captivating auditory experience. Prestone coolant ensures the engine maintains optimal temperature, even during demanding driving conditions. The striking exterior is finished in a custom BASF mix, a unique color known as TOTOPKG Green. This paint is meticulously sprayed over a body expertly prepped using 3M products, resulting in an impeccable finish. Motul engine and gear oils are utilized to keep the engine and transmission operating flawlessly under all conditions, guaranteeing reliability and peak performance.
A Legendary Name: The Spirit of VALKYRJA
The name “VALKYRJA” holds deep significance, deriving from the Old Norse spelling of Valkyrie. In Norse mythology, Valkyries are powerful female figures who choose which fallen soldiers are worthy of entering Valhalla in the afterlife. This name was thoughtfully selected by the car’s Belgian owner, who received delivery of this masterpiece after its impressive debut at the SEMA Show. The chosen name perfectly encapsulates the car’s bold presence and its legendary status in the world of custom automobiles.
