2010 Camaro with a Boeing T50 Turboshaft

Troy Mann built this 2010 Chevrolet Camaro over the course of nine years. After his death the Camaro was owned by Cleetus McFarland (Garrett Mitchell) who called the project “Turbinaro”. The unique car is powered by a Boeing T50-BO-12 turboshaft engine. Behind that is a Wilwood disc brakes assembly which replaces a torque converter and TH350 three-speed automatic transmission with manual valve body. Shifts are controlled using a clutch pedal “to control rotational speed”. The Camaro’s suspension uses Manzo coilovers and a Flaming River steering rack. Inside you find ZL1 front seats, leather-wrapped steering wheel, and overhead toggle switches from an aircraft. The unique Camaro can be found for sale on Bring a Trailer.
