Finale Speed showcases a 1969 Camaro with a carbon fiber body and LT4 V8.

A number of companies have sprung up recently offering carbon fiber bodies for classic muscle cars, but very few can achieve the fit and finish of this 1969 Chevrolet Camaro built by Finale Speed.

The Yukon, Oklahoma-based company has bodies for both a '69 Camaro and a Dodge Charger of the same vintage, sold as rolling shells or turnkey cars.

The Camaro featured here, known as the Viral, is an example of a turnkey car Finale Speed can build. With an estimated 3,000 hours, this particular car used the latest LT4 supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 crate engine sourced from General Motors. This engine, paired with a Wegner pulley system, delivers a peak output of 650 hp. It also features Ultimate Headers headers and MagnaFlow exhaust components.

The engine sends power through a Tremec T-56 6-speed manual and a 9-inch rear with Positraction LSD and 31-spline Dutchman axles. Other features include Speedtech front and rear subframes, JRi coilover suspension, and Wilwood brakes. The wheels are a Forge Line three-piece design, 18 x 10.5" front and 18 x 12" rear.

The body is the star of the show, with exposed weave protected by a clear coat of BASF's Glasurit Clear. Each panel is made of autoclave-cured prepreg carbon fiber, which the company says meets OEM quality standards. Naturally, the weave is aligned throughout the body for a sophisticated appearance.

This build is not a one-off. Interested parties can get their own with an "investment" starting at $429,000.

Finale Speed presented the viral Camaro at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, Arizona from January 21 to January 29.
