Vehicle Description
You'll note that we have a hard time keeping early Camaros in
stock, particularly ultra-clean ones like this 1969 Chevrolet
Camaro RS coupe. With that in mind, if you're looking for one with
a snarling small block, awesome interior, numerous upgrades, and a
look that dares other cars to race, perhaps you should call now
instead of finishing reading this.
1969 Camaros are quite possibly our #1 best-sellers for good
reason: they look positively awesome. You want street cred? An
F-body is a great way to get it. You want front-row parking at the
next cruise night? This Cortez Silver RS coupe will deliver. It
keeps with the factory formula, since it's hard to improve on the
timeless design (even the factory copied it four decades later),
but the execution is quite good. The paint is recent and hugs some
very straight sheetmetal (the front end is all-new Dynacorn steel)
that has enjoyed the ministrations of some talented body men. This
is an original code 69 Cortez Silver car so it has an outstanding
look and the bare-metal restoration only enhanced an already
high-quality piece. There's the usual cowl-induction hood, as well
as spoilers fore and aft, plus black hockey stick stripes just in
case you thought this car isn't arresting enough. Bright chrome
bumpers flank the car at both ends, adding a shiny bit of
punctuation to the all-black storyline. The vinyl top is also in
excellent condition, giving it a grown-up look that works rather
well with the black stripes and interior.
The interior has been subtly upgraded to make for a better driving
experience. The factory buckets wear fresh houndstooth reproduction
seat covers and the door panels are excellent repros, too. The
center console is nicely woodgrained and carries our all-time
favorite shifter, the GM horseshoe. Factory gauges remain in the
dash, and you'll note that this car was originally equipped with
factory A/C, which is now backed by modern hardware and R134a
refrigerant for reliability. An upgraded AM/FM stereo fits neatly
in the original slot and works with speakers in the kick panels.
The ultra-clean trunk offers a fresh reproduction mat and a
space-saver spare tire assembly.
Horsepower comes easy thanks to a built 350 cubic inch GM crate
motor. Edelbrock supplied the intake manifold and 4-barrel carb, as
well as the heads and camshaft inside. Chevy Orange paint keeps it
looking right under the hood, and a bit of dress-up never hurts,
including the blacked-out valve covers and open-element air
cleaner. There's a new alternator, new hoses and clamps, and a
fresh master cylinder so you know it's ready to run. The TH350
3-speed automatic transmission provides easy cruising and quick
reflexes, and powers a 10-bolt rear end that doesn't mind the small
block's power. Original exhaust manifolds dump into a custom
stainless exhaust system with an X-pipe and correct transverse
muffler, so it has an awesome voice, and it remains quite clean
underneath thanks to some fresh steel. Slick 15-inch Torque Thrusts
sparkle against the silver paint and wear 225/60/15 front and
245/60/15 rear BFGoodrich T/A radials.
It's a '69 Camaro and it's beautifully finished, so it won't last
long. If you like what you see, please don't hesitate and call
