1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS

Description

A pristine 1969 Chevrolet Camaro coupe in its correct and rare color inside and out...If you thought it couldn't get any better, then we probably don't need to mention the performance-built crate V8 and four-speed, too.

For starters, 1969 is arguably the best year for the first-generation Camaros. It had the best curves, with a new more angular front end, style lines that ran the entire side of the car, and a shapely rear. Highlighting the bodywork is a pristine respray of the original Burgundy with correct white vinyl top. This color should make you want to pay attention because it was only offered for one year on the first-generation Camaros, and only about 2% of cars had it applied at the factory. That means this professional and correct respray is not only stunning to look at, but now you've got a cool story to tell the crowds it draws in. This Camaro carries all the great SS styling cues, from the blacked out grille with proper badging, to the cowl induction hood, to the D80 rear spoiler. But there is absolutely something more going on here. Its staggered size of the Riddler wheels gives a hint to the world about this Camaro's extra aggression that lies within.

Open the door and see everything you love about a classic Camaro. No one offers a pristine white anymore like what's covering the seats and door panels. This code 727 interior is correct for the car, which includes deep black carpeting so you don't have to take your shoes off before hopping in and going for a drive. This is a center console car with a wood paneling and Hurst shifter. Just above that is a set of auxiliary gauges that nicely complement the original dual pod setup that sits right in front of the SS wheel. You even get provisions for air conditioning.

If you're wondering why the small-block looks so great in the engine bay, it has to do with more than just all the shiny components like the air cleaner, compressor, and valve covers. This is a 350 cubic-inch crate motor, so drivers know it's far fresher than the factory motor. It has been treated to great sports car upgrades such as an Edelbrock intake and Holley four-barrel carburetor. But more than just listening to the rumble the full package creates out of the dual exhaust, see where it comes from. The undercarriage shots will show you an exceptionally clean underside that even shows off in the exterior Burgundy paint. But as show-ready as this coupe is, it's also built for the road. With a four-speed manual transmission, power steering, front disc brakes, and the grip of Hercules Raptis tires at all four corners, this is coupe was made to enjoy the blacktop.

A rare and interesting '69 Camaro that looks great and drives even better. This coupe offers the kind of turnkey satisfaction and interesting stories that don't come around very often.
