The Right Combination

When it comes to selecting a model, you have to find a girl that fits the car. The car we used was a 2001 Camaro SS owned by Luis Montoya. Luis had always been a Ford guy since his entire family owned them. A cousin of Luis prompted him to test drive a ’94 LT1 Z28 and he instantly fell in love at age 18. As most young people do that own muscle cars, Luis ended up totaling the Camaro after four months in which he bought a ’96 Trans Am WS6 that was later turned into a Lemon Law car.

In March 2006 he then bought his current 2001 Camaro SS from a Marine stationed at Camp Pendleton, making it his third F-body. The Camaro was purchased completely stock with a decent interior. Over the next two years, Luis transformed his Camaro into a show-and-go daily driver with even more modifications to come in the future.
