The Model -When Chevrolet reintroduced its re-born Camaro for 2010,
it was apparent that the designers were bringing up an updated
version of probably the most iconic 1969 designs. While some say
that the 1967-68 editions were designed more by committee than
stylists, the 1969 Camaro was able to break out of that mold just a
tiny bit. Between unbeatable power-teams, striking high-impact
colors and optional packages to dazzle the competition, Chevrolet
had no problem selling these cars, even when the second
generation's delay forced Chevy to extend the production cycle for
this model well into the 1970 model year. Chevrolet has always been
an innovator and in the last 10 years they have been the leader in
providing "plug and play" high-performance engines that deliver
awesome horsepower and are emissions compliant. One of the stars of
this program is the ZZ-427, which is truly the "King" of V8
engines. Originally produced in the late 1960's, given modern
engineering to perfection, this is the ultimate choice for builders
and those who had a need for speed.
The Car - One of the most spectacular colors offered on the 1969
Camaro was Daytona Yellow, a vibrant powerful hue that was in your
face. Rarely ordered was the houndstooth interior in that lively
yellow color. That is how this superb Camaro was originally
produced at the Norwood, Ohio, plant, but today after a no-expense
spared restoration, it has so much more. With a fresh crate 427 V8
under the hood, it is backed up by close-ratio Muncie "M21" four
speed, this is a car that does not just look good, it moves like
greased lightning. Other highlights found on this Camaro include
the 12-bolt rear-end with 3.73 gears, disc brakes on all four
corners, modern R134A air-conditioning, factory tachometer and
related gauges, and a basic Delco AM radio. This is a genuine X11
car and has all the SS components including the steering wheel on a
tilt-column, and dashboard with simulated wood-grain applique,
center-shift console with a highly polished shift knob. Exterior
appointments include black vinyl top, proper SS stripes, Rally
wheels with Firestone Polyglas tires as well as front and rear
spoilers. Kept in a climate controlled storage since its completion
and used only on special occasions, this is honestly one of the
most attractive and rare RS/SS Camaros you will ever have a chance
to own.�
