The deep rumble of a big-cube V8, pavement-crushing horsepower, and the ability to turn rubber into smoke at will with seemingly endless torque. If you dreamed about muscle cars like I did when I was a kid, and if youβre reading this, you did, you dreamed of one day owning a piece of that automotive American history. Now, you can have brand new muscle with Innovation Performance Technologies.
Who wouldnβt want to recapture a time when we just wanted to have a little fun on four wheels, instead of seeing who had the highest safety ratings or miles per gallon? But if youβve ever had the pleasure of driving a classic car thatβs been unmolested and in good original condition, it may have been a case of βnever meet your heroesβ, because it wasnβt much of a pleasure as you once dreamed of.
The sky is the limit when it comes to customization. From a 430 LS3 and T56 Magnum to a LT4 and 10-speed Auto. Paired to a state of the art chassis and suspension and interior ranging from resto-mod to race-ready.
Back in the β60s when manufacturers were trying to one-up each other every year with bigger and bigger engines making more and more grunt, things like handling, braking performance, comfort and safety were more of an afterthought. The motor heads behind these factory programs were chasing quarter mile times in both style and under budget, not exactly lap times at Lemans with a refined fit and finish to boot. So now that most of us are all grown up with a little bit of money in our pockets, but still a kid at heart, youβre starting to realize that owning that dream can actually happen. But how can you get a dream car that can do a bit of everything? You donβt want a cool classic thatβs just a one-trick pony, right?
Thatβs where a company like Innovation Performance Technologies comes in. Located in Aberdeen, North Carolina, itβs no surprise that this company started in a small two-car garage in the heart of NASCAR country and grew to what it is today. This isnβt merely another custom shop that specializes in classic American muscle. This is a team of dedicated fabricators, builders, and even active racers that build from scratch brand new turn-key classic muscle cars combined with all the modern performance and tech the aftermarket has to offer. Instead of thin bias ply tires, unforgiving soft suspension, wallowing body roll, and braking performance on par with a cruise ship, you get a modern fuel-injected drivetrain that makes the power you actually once dreamed of, modern brakes that can stop that power on the street and on the track, and modern refined suspension that can make that beautiful piece of American steel handle as good as it looks while also improving ride quality on some of our imperfect back roads.
If you like to keep that old school feel you can pick a stroker small block Ford or this 700-plus horsepower supercharged coyote V8 mated to a T56 Magnum or 10-speed auto. Either choice matches well with the modern rack and pinion steering, coilover suspension, and wide sticky rubber under the fenders.
Innovation Performance Technologies currently offers β69 Camaros and β68 fastback Mustangs like you see here, in both βSβ and βRβ versions (for βStreetβ and βRaceβ, respectfully). These arenβt old original rollers that have been pulled from your neighborβs backyard and restored with rebuilt engines, transmissions, and reconditioned brakes and suspension. These are made with all-new sheet metal and underpinnings, new performance crate engines and transmissions of your choice, and the latest in suspension and brake design. You really can have truly brand new muscle with Innovation Performance Technologies. Some of you might think of buying a classic car and modifying it yourself into what you see here, or you can contact Innovation Performance Technologies and start living your childhood dream right now, turnkey built the way you want it.
