Fans of country music’s Rascal Flatts are no doubt familiar with the song, “Red Camaro,” which is featured in the band’s latest album: “Nothing Like This.”
I caught up to the “Red Camaro” customized by West Coast Customs at the Rascal Flatts concert in Atlanta last week. What a ride.It all starts with an old F-body favorite, factory-style T-tops.
The interior was ripped apart and put back together with black leather and suede, red stitching, hand-crafted Swarovski crystal and Rascals Flatts emblems created by Crystal Ninja.
“I was approached by Rascal Flatts’ management on a business trip in the airport. They mentioned how the guys were fans of ours and asked if we were interested in building them a car for the release of their new album,” CEO West Coast Customs Ryan Fredlinghaus said in a news release.
Since then the car has been brought along on the band’s tour and was the star of the an April episode of the “Inside West Coast Customs” TV show.
Rounding out the interior enhancements is a killer Diamond audio system.
Of course performance is what counts in any muscle car. Upgrades in the go department include a Harrop super charger, 22-inch HRE wheels and handling tweaks by Pedders suspension.
You can see additional photos, video and read more about the Camaro on the West Coast Customs website.
