A Belgian shopper commissioned Ringbrothers to build the Valkyrja, perhaps after seeing the restomodder's work on other Camaros like the 510-hp Razor from 2008 or the 1,000-hp G-Code in 2016. Wegner Motorsports serves up the meat on the dish, in the form of a 416-cubic-inch LS3 V8 assisted by a 2.9-liter Whipple supercharger. Considering the four-figure builds Wegner's known for, the Valkyrja hews to the mild side with 'just' 890 horsepower. But hey, who needs gaudy numbers when you're named after the daunting women on winged stallions tasked with nominating Viking dead and shepherding them to Valhalla? 'Speaking softly' with a mere 890 horses is probably the right way to go.
The owner, who named the car and will take delivery after SEMA, opted for European discretion, hence precious little official info on the build and no images of the interior.
We sat down with Matt D’Andria at the 2017 SEMA Show to talk about our latest builds – the 1956 Ford F100 “Clem 101,” the 1969 Dodge Charger “Defector,” and the Prestone 1972 AMC Javelin AMX “Defiant!”
Perennial favorites and awe-inspring builders Jim and Mike Ring stop by to share their experience building Wes Rydell's 1948 Cadillac Coupe ATS-V hybrid.
