Vehicle Description
You're looking at the best of both worlds. This 1969 Chevrolet
Camaro RS has been meticulously restored to have a great look that
holds up in all the details (just look at the undercarriage!) And
yet beneath all the shine it still has its numbers-matching V8
block. So this is the terrific street machine that you'll love
taking to shows and talking to everyone about it - especially
judges.
If it's attention you crave, this car delivers in spades. The black
paint has all the right modern gloss and shine to highlight the
added curves Chevy gave the F-body in '69. The ivory double sport
stripe package is an icon for the Camaro, and it provides the
perfect contrasting color to ensure this muscle machine is
memorable day or night. On something this slick, only the best
brightwork will do. So it's looking mirror-like on everything from
the big chrome bumpers to the delicate wheel arch trim. There's
even an upgrade to 18-inch Foose wheels for added flair. Of course,
what really makes this a desirable Chevy is the Rally Sport package
with the headlights that are hidden behind the mean-looking blacked
front out panel. It's hard to know a true '69 RS from the factory,
but the level of details on this one nails it in all the right
ways. All the other goodies on the car make it easy to love,
including the front air dam, cowl induction hood, and ducktail
spoiler that always finishes these cars with a flourish. And while
this one can impress you from across a show field, don't forget to
check out the details. Everything from the pinstripes on the
fenders to the way the body panels hang with precision tell you
someone really scrutinized every inch of the restoration.
The upgrade to the deluxe houndstooth cloth interior is beautifully
finished and shows off this particular Camaro's luxury/performance
mission. After all, nothing looks cooler than a black and white
exterior color scheme that's continues inside. The bucket seats
feel fresh, and so do the door panels, headliner, and carpeting.
The total package is like a time warp back to 1969 where all the
essentials feel factory correct and quite new. In fact, even the
correct AM/FM radio is still cranking out tunes - how's that for
details! Beautiful wood grained appliques on the center console
match the lower dash. But these kinds of details are often missed
because everyone's attention usually gravitates to the bright
shifter and the iconic quad gauge package ahead of it. The only
noticeable modern upgrade is a nice wood and chrome steering wheel
with Chevy's bow tie etched in the center (it lets you take better
advantage of the power steering.) And beyond that you have the
correct and clear set AC gauges, with the large speedo and
important tach.
While this is a number-matching 327 cubic-inch small block V8, you
can take one look at it and know something more sinister is going
on under the hood. The motor has been upgraded for both show and
go, and your first indication is the shine it radiates. With the
serious investment in polished components we dare you to find
another piece that could look brighter. And the only thing that can
outshine the appearance is this V8's substance. It has go-fast
goodies that include an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, hi-rise
performance intake, Mallory distributor, and long tube headers. And
Chevy people will particularly take note of the diaphragm on the
air topper that means this legitimately breaths cooler air from the
cowl induction hood. It's a great power package, and you get to
take full control of it with the four-speed manual transmission. As
we hinted at before, take some time to look at the undercarriage
photos. This lets you know that you will be putting a mirror under
this Camaro at car shows. And while you're checking it out, don't
forget to spot upgrades like the four-wheel disc brakes.
This is the kind of build that someone does as a labor of love, so
they rarely leave that person's hands. This is your chance to skip
all the hard work of a superior restoration, and go right to the
all the acclaim. So if you want the best of everything, call
today!
