1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS

Description

This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro has one of those total outstanding color coordinating packages that makes this classic instantly attractive. And so it only gets better when you spot all the extras – from the nice upgrades to the quite correct V8 under the hood.

For starters, 1969 is arguably the best year for the first-generation Camaros. It had the best curves, with more angular front end, style lines that ran the entire side of the car, and a shapely rear. Highlighting the bodywork is a nice respray of the original Dover White. Plus, bright bumpers and large 17-inch American Racing Torq Thrust wheels help bring out the shine even further. This Camaro carries all the great SS styling cues, from the hood vents, to the D80 rear spoiler, to the blacked-out grille with proper badging. And speaking of blacked-out, the D90 "hockey stick" stripe and black vinyl roof are great standouts for aggression and sophistication against the white paint.

The black and white theme continues inside with the upgrade to iconic houndstooth bucket seats. Plus, there's a comfortable center console that features wood paneling and another icon – the horseshoe shifter. The dual-spoke steering wheel feels great in your hands, and it gives you a commanding view of both the gauges and the road. There are even provisions for an upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo. That's why this car is a great place to spend a Saturday night.

Under the hood, the V8 looks nice with the proper Chevy orange on the block, and there's plenty of shine from places like the polished valve covers, air grabber, and frame stabilizers. And for those who love originality, this one has a terrific story. The car was completed the fourth week of March 1969, and the stout 307 cubic-inch V8 inside is stamped for 3/20/69. So while we can't confirm this is the original motor, it's tantalizingly close enough for you to tell a cool tale at the car shows. More than just an interesting story, the V8 has been upgraded properly with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock Performer EPS intake, and a set of headers that add even more power as they also contribute to the rumbling dual exhaust. Out on the road, features like the TH350 three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and the modern grip of BF Goodrich gForce tires make this vintage Camaro a fine anytime cruiser.

A terrific color package inside & out, the right upgrades, and a great story about the powerful V8 – it's all wrapped around an iconic sheetmetal that's priced right. So you know something this attractive won't be waiting long. Don't miss out, call today!
