Vehicle Description
When you build a classic car wish list, it reads like this 1969
Chevrolet Camaro. It has a strong numbers-matching 350 V8, a rare
color, a great story, and the kind of attention to detail that
defines the cars we all want to own.
Arizona cars are always top on the list for collectors. So you'll
love to know that this two-owner Camaro was sold new just about a
dozen miles from our showroom, and it has been an Arizona car all
its life. Not only is the factory-correct Azure Turquoise a great
hue for a desert car, but also it's what collectors want because so
few left the factory with it in 1969. And today it has extra
ocean-like depth thanks to a professional respray in 2012. In fact,
the striking total appearance is thanks to investing in a
restoration during that time. The people at Prescott Hot Rods paid
attention to make sure that this coupe looks correct, and the
creases are in the sheetmetal are nearly seamless. Add in the black
hockey stick stripe, bright chrome bumpers, and iconic Rally
wheels, and you get a car that balances intimidation with
class.
The iconic deluxe houndstooth interior is beautifully finished with
its correct button-top pattern. The restoration made sure that not
only did these feel fresh, but also the door panels, dash,
headliner, and carpeting, too. In fact, take some time to really
pour over the details, like how the wood applique on the dash
matches the dual spoke steering wheel, and look at the full gauge
panel, including working clock. Even the trunk mat and jack are
correct! This one even has desirable original features like the
AM/FM radio and provisions for factory air conditioning. It gives
you a total time warp feeling, where picking up this Camaro from us
today almost feels like driving out of Madison's Chevrolet in
1969.
And on a coupe that has been so much about authenticity thus far,
it's great to have the original 350 cubic-inch V8 still under the
hood. It looks terrifically original with the Chevy orange block,
matching valve covers, and pie dish air topper. But you also have a
few subtle upgrades to this muscle car. It inhales deeper through
an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with more
authority thanks to an upgraded dual exhaust. Out on the road, you
can feel confident in this Camaro, because it combines factory
features like the three-speed automatic transmission and power
steering with upgrades like the BF Goodrich T/As and modern
bushings.
The sale comes with the original warranty card and owner's manual
so you can verify its Arizona life to everyone from friends to car
show judges. This is a rare and interesting Camaro that's ready for
a true collector. If that's you, call today!
