The 2010 Fesler-Moss Chevrolet Camaro Number 1 is the inaugural, hand-built car from Scottsdale customizer Chris Fesler in collaboration with GM performance icon Jon Moss. Conceived to blend the spirit of a 1969 Camaro with modern supercar performance, this launch build was featured by MotorTrend and is documented with dyno results, photography, and component details. At its core is the Corvette ZR1’s supercharged LS9 V8, integrated with near-OEM finesse and surrounded by a comprehensive rework of the chassis, brakes, body, and interior.
Under the hood sits the LS9 6.2-liter (376 cid) supercharged V8 with 9.1:1 compression, forged internals, and high-flow cylinder heads. A custom intake and long-tube 1 7/8-inch headers feed a free-breathing exhaust with 3-inch collectors, high-flow catalysts, and a B&B 3-inch system. Fueling is upgraded with dual in-tank pumps and LS9-spec injectors, and the engine management is recalibrated so the swap behaves like a factory installation. In the MotorTrend feature, this exact car recorded roughly 705 rwhp and 680 rwtq, tuned conservatively for durability on pump fuel.
Power is routed through a 6L90E six-speed automatic with a custom Hughes Performance converter, and—critically—the factory paddle shifters are fully functional thanks to bespoke wiring and calibration work. Downstream, a Driveshaft Shop propshaft and heavy-duty axles are specified to live with four-figure horsepower margins, while 3.73:1 rear gearing provides a punchy yet highway-friendly balance.
Chassis tuning centers on the Pedders Track II package, which brings 30-way-adjustable coilovers, comprehensive bushings, and 27-mm anti-roll bars with upgraded end links. The ride height is lowered about two inches, which sharpens turn-in, quells wheel hop, and drops the center of gravity. Braking is handled by a Fesler-branded Baer setup at all four corners, pairing 15-inch rotors with six-piston calipers, braided lines, and a Baer proportioning valve—serious hardware sized to match LS9 thrust.
The car rolls on 3-piece Asanti FS-914 forged wheels, measuring 22×9 in front and 22×10.5 in the rear, wrapped in Continental ExtremeContact DWS tires (265/30ZR22 front, 295/25ZR22 rear). The large-diameter forged wheels fill the arches cleanly and work with the lowered stance to deliver crisp response without sacrificing the car’s grand-touring composure.
Exterior styling is a bespoke Fesler Built design that nods to 1969 while remaining distinctly modern. A lower, wider front fascia with billet aluminum grilles and fog-lamp bezels leads to sculpted rocker moldings and a cleanly finished rear with a restyled spoiler and custom taillamps. The paint is 1969 Chevy white mixed with metallic and pearl and accented by bold orange stripes, laid down by Gary Sharp of Prescott Auto Body. The result is show-quality finish work that reads as factory-quality, just more purposeful.
Inside, the cabin is a retro-modern statement piece. Houndstooth seat inserts meet extensive Hydro-Carbon trim for a period-correct look executed with contemporary materials. Infotainment comes from a modern touchscreen navigation head unit feeding a 1,350-watt audio system with three subwoofers, while bespoke Fesler-Moss-stitched leather and Cadillac touch-sensing door handles elevate everyday touchpoints. The overall effect is cohesive: classic Camaro character with 21st-century comfort and tech.
Performance notes from the MotorTrend evaluation are as dramatic as the spec sheet suggests. On the chassis dyno, 185 mph appeared on the rollers, and with the car’s power, gearing, and aero, a 200-mph top-speed potential was projected under the right conditions. As with any highly modified vehicle, real-world figures depend on environment, tires, and calibration, but the numbers underscore how comprehensively this build delivers.
As serial “Number 1” of the Fesler-Moss program and the car that defined the series recipe—LS9 power, deep chassis and brake upgrades, bespoke bodywork, and a tailored interior—this Camaro carries unusual provenance and rarity. It is equal parts collector piece and turnkey high-performance machine, engineered and finished to a standard that feels factory-correct even as it far exceeds factory output.
