Vehicle Description
Some cars can get by on looks alone, but this awesome 1969
Chevrolet Camaro SS coupe ably demonstrates that there's often
substance under the style. Icy silver over black with a cool rake,
this one hits all the right visual notes, and with a potent small
block V8 under the hood, well, it's not just handsome, but potent
as well.
Looking like a heavyweight fighter in a tuxedo, this F-body is all
dressed up with an SS grille, chin spoiler, and ducktail out back.
There's a lot of effort tied up in getting the sheetmetal straight
enough to wear the high-tech Cortez Silver paint so well, and while
it's not a trailer queen, people will definitely sit up and take
notice every time this predator rolls in. You can see how smooth
and flat the bodywork is in our photos; take note of how clear the
reflections are, and those ghost hockey stick stripes, the car
takes on a very high-tech look indeed. Gaps are good, too, so you
won't worry about hurting that lovely paint when you slam the hood.
Of course, there's a cowl-induction hood to give it the right
attitude, and all the chrome has been refinished or polished, so it
glitters against the paint like jewelry. This is resto-mod done
right.
The interior is a fresh black vinyl, and if you need evidence that
GM stylists were hitting on all eight cylinders in 1969, you need
look no further than this gorgeous Camaro. Recent seat covers
duplicate the factory patterns, and the other stuff like door
panels and carpets are relatively new, too. You'll also note an
interesting combination of features in this one, including a custom
three-spoke wheel, Hurst shifter in the original console, and a
great-sounding stereo. The tach is a white-faced Auto Meter unit,
and there's a trio of auxiliary dials down low under the dash in
the traditional style. The cool horseshoe shifter has always been a
favorite, but the Hurst piece is a lot more accurate when you're
running hard and need an edge. The trunk is incredibly clean and
while it has no mat or spare, it also has nothing to hide, which is
always nice.
The engine is a fresh 350 cubic inch V8 detailed to dazzle and
covered in bright chrome and billet trim. Rebuilt less than 800
miles ago, it includes bright chrome valve covers and a finned air
cleaner, as well as a chrome alternator and some aluminum bits. The
engine was treated to a full rebuild and is fed by a polished
Edelbrock Victor Jr. intake and a Holley 4-barrel carburetor and an
MSD ignition lights it up. Actually the list of parts is extensive
so we can't cover them all, but suffice to say that this sucker is
full of the good stuff. The transmission is a crisp-shifting TH350
3-speed automatic feeding a rugged 10-bolt rear end. Long-tube
headers and dual mufflers give it the most spectacular baritone
voice this side of the Metropolitan Opera house and you can see
that virtually everything under the car has been freshened. More
than $2000 worth of new Coys wheels wear staggered 225/40/18 front
and 255/35/20 rear performance radials.
Take a good look, but I think you'll have a hard time resisting
this awesome Camaro. Call now and we'll be happy to show you
everything that went into the build.
