Introducing the Strode, a remarkable creation by the Ringbrothers that reimagines the 1969 Chevy Camaro with over 1,000 horsepower and distinctive Harley Davidson motorcycle headlights. Handcrafted from the ground up, Jim Ring shares the fascinating story behind this restomod masterpiece in the latest episode of Jay Leno’s Garage.
Dubbed the “Strode,” this Camaro carries a symbolic name derived from the iconic character Laurie Strode, known for her resilience against her relentless brother, Michael Myers, in the “Halloween” film series. The name symbolizes the Camaro’s unbeatable nature, standing as a formidable challenger to any competition.
Every aspect of the 1969 Chevy Camaro has been meticulously modified, featuring a carbon fiber exterior, a reinforced roll cage, and a powertrain delivering over 1,000 horsepower. Ringbrothers spared no detail, even crafting custom door handles and side mirrors to complement the Camaro’s sleek profile.
Despite its powerful performance, the Strode maintains a relatively lightweight, thanks to its carbon fiber construction, weighing in at approximately 3,600 pounds. With its perfect weight distribution and advanced Wagner engine, the Strode delivers a thrilling driving experience unlike any other.
Furthermore, Strode’s interior boasts premium cognac leather upholstery with diamond stitching, carbon fiber accents, and modern amenities, ensuring both style and comfort for its occupants. The integration of a hand-built roll bar adds to the vehicle’s safety and structural integrity.
From its digital-inspired taillights to its signature Harley Davidson headlights, every detail of the Strode exudes innovation and craftsmanship. Jim Ring’s meticulous approach to design ensures that the Strode stands as a true testament to automotive excellence and creativity.
