1969 Chevrolet Camaro

1969 Camaro SS396-

When introduced in 1967, few at Chevrolet imagined that the Gen1 Camaro would eventually become a GM icon like the tri-five Bel-Airs from a decade earlier. Chevy was simply trying to join the promising pony-car market, but the Camaro was an instant success story, one that continues to this day. The original Camaro was loved by all because of a stylish blend of sculpted bodylines, distinctive accents and an abundance of performance options. The '69 Camaro was the final year of that Gen1 model. It featuring a more aggressive exterior and a wider stance - the designers at GM had it figured to perfection.

Garnet Red SS Coupe-

This fully restored '69 Camaro SS is a handsome example of this performance classic. Since Chevrolet did not provide information in the VIN/Data Tag to determine specific options on these cars, we have no way of confirming that this Camaro left the factory as an SS396. However, it is certainly possible that this was a factory SS396. The professional 2-stage respray of original Garnet Red was applied in 2015 and is exceptional. The SS side strips are perfect accents and all chrome/stainless pieces are outstanding. Appearance elements of the SS model include functional cowl induction raised hood, front air dam/rear spoiler, fog lights, simulated rear fender louvers, SS emblems and bright roof drip moldings. GM rally wheels with trim ring/caps mount 15” BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. The original black vinyl bucket seat interior is in very good condition. Features include a full console w/wood trim, factory gauges w/tach, SS wheel and tinted windows.

396ci Big Block / 4-Speed Muncie / 12-Bolt Differential-

A carefully detailed engine compartment is home to a 396ci big-block. The casting numbers of the rectangular port cylinder heads, GM intake and 780cfm Holley 4346 carburetor are correct for the L78 version of the 396. The big Rat is backed by a Muncie M-20 4-speed transmission w/Hurst shifter which sends torque to a 12-bolt posi-traction differential with 3.73:1 gears. The spotless chassis features power steering, power disc/drum brakes and a custom stainless exhaust. Front and rear suspension components also appear to have been refreshed at some point in the past.

This Camaro is a striking example of one of Chevy's best - it would make your BowTie garage proud.
