Trans Am Worldwide has done it again. The Florida-based shop, usually known for reviving the Firebird, brought their A-game to SEMA 2025 with the 70/SS. This isn’t a restoration; it’s a complete reimagining of the 1970 Chevelle built on a six-gun Camaro platform. We spent some time looking over the 70/SS models on display, and the level of detail is staggering.
The first thing you notice is the stance. This car is six inches wider than the Camaro it’s based on, thanks to a complete carbon-fiber body transformation. Trans Am Worldwide replaces everything — fenders, hood, bumpers, door skins, and quarter-panels. It’s a total reskin that perfectly captures the 1970 muscle car vibe, but adds modern aerodynamic precision.
Underneath, the Alpha chassis is tightened up with lowering springs, upgraded shocks, and sway bars to handle the extra girth and grip provided by the massive 335 mm rear tires.
Under the hood is where things get really interesting. The builders offer a few different ways to configure these 70/SS models depending on your appetite for speed. The Base package keeps things sane with the factory 450-net horsepower LT1, which exceeds the output of the original LS6 454 by out 25 percent. If you want more, the 396 Heritage package offers a 402-cubic-inch stroker that can hit 900 horsepower with twin turbos. But the real star is the limited 454 LS6X. Only 25 of these will be made, featuring an iron-block 454 that can be tuned to deliver a mind-bending 1,500 horsepower in drag spec.
Inside, the modernization continues with a mix of new tech and old-school charm. You get retro-styled leather seats, a specific 70/SS steering wheel, and options for a Hurst or horseshoe shifter. Of course, none of this comes cheap. Prices range from just under $200,000 to well over $400,000 for the top-dog LS6X. Yet, watching the crowds swarm these cars all week, it’s clear that for the right buyer, the 70/SS models are worth every penny for the chance to own a modern classic.
