1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS

Description

What's better than a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro that came from the factory in the perfect color? How about one with a performance-built big block, 5-speed manual, full handling package, precision straight panels, nut and bolt restoration...starting to get the picture on this ultimate muscle car restomod?

There's just something about a Hugger Orange Camaro. It's bold enough to warn others on the streets to 'don't mess with me!' and it just seems to be a beacon at car shows. This one is particularly nice because the factory-correct color has been applied recently with a very professional hand. Even the correct '69 D90 stripe package was painted on. But you can also just tell from the pictures that this Camaro has something more. Its complete nut-n-bolt restoration has given this American classic the kind of precision body gaps we'd expect from a modern German coupe. We love the SS packaging because of the iconic touches like the Super Scoop hood, front air damn, and D80 ducktail spoiler. The American Racing Torq Thrust wheels are a timeless upgrade, and in this case, they have a nice staggered size that adds to this Camaro's aggressive appearance.

Inside everything looks factory correct at first appearance, but then you start to notice all the subtle upgrades that make this a superior modern restoration. The houndstooth bucket seats – a hallmark of these classics – have been have been re-covered. It also isn't a premium Camaro without the center console, and this one has been upgraded with a removable armrest with cup holders, and a quad set of AutoMeter gauges sit forward to be read easily. Plus, the factory tach will help you get the most out of the all chrome Hurst performance shifter. The stereo is iPod compatible, but the modern digital tuner is built to look like a classic knob-style radio. So you don't notice the amazing stereo that's been installed until you feel the full subwoofer system that's hidden nicely in the trunk. You even get to cruise all day in complete comfort with modern R-134a air conditioning, seamlessly integrated into the existing vents.

The 396 callouts on the fender make everyone expect a big block, and this over delivers with a 454 cubic-inch crate motor that's larger and meaner than anything from the factory. One look at the engine bay, and you'll know you're headed straight to the car show podium. Beyond all the chrome and stainless, this one has level of tidy origination with well hidden wiring that has helped it already win multiple Best in Show awards. But more than just looking amazing, this one was built to be a reliable performer too. It inhales deeply through a 4-barrel carburetor, stays cool under pressure with a 3-core aluminum radiator w/electric fan, and exhales with authority from the long-tube coated headers. The V8 is mated to a bulletproof and reliable Tremec TKO600 5-speed manual transmission, connected to a stout 12-bolt rear end running a versatile 3.55 gear. Even at idle, it has an unmistakable rumble thanks to a Pypes Performance stainless dual exhaust with performance minded X-pipe construction. But more than just listen to this one, we invite you to take a look under the car. It's how you'll get the best view of the superior suspension components, including the Heidts tubular control arms up front with adjustable QA1 shocks, and the Ridetech four-link adjustable coilover setup in the rear. The enhancements continue all the way to the pavement with Wilwood disc brakes at every wheel, backed up by modern Nexen N3000 performance tires.

It has the looks of an amazing classic; the big V8 power to rule the streets; and the handling package to rival modern cars. Best of all, this '69 also has been upgraded with all the modern conveniences that make this big V8 brawler also daily driver comfortable. There's just so much in this one we can't list it all here. But we'd be happy to show you all the restoration receipts that proves this amazing Camaro is your opportunity to make every other muscle car fan jealous. Call today!!
