Gateway Classic Cars is pleased to offer this 1969 Chevrolet Camaro
for sale in our Houston showroom. Of special note, this is THE 1969
Camaro that Dale Earnhardt Jr. drove in the Goody's Headache
Powders commercial, and comes with authentication (including Dale
Jr.'s signature). One of the most iconic of the Pony Cars, the 1969
Camaro has developed a cult-like following. The Camaro was
introduced in 1967 as Chevrolet's answer to combat the success of
Ford's Mustang, which created a whole new vehicle segment, later
dubbed "Pony Cars". For 1969, the Camaro received all-new sheet
metal (except for the hood and trunk), which served to give the car
a substantially sportier look. The grille was redesigned with the
heavy "V" cant, and the headlights were given a new recessed
position. New door skins, rear quarter panels, and rear valance
panel also gave the car a much lower, wider and more aggressive
look. The wheel wells were flattened with sculpted feature lines
flowing off towards the rear of the car and rear-slanting simulated
air slots were positioned ahead of the rear wheel. The front had a
full width chrome bumper integrated with the body color grille
surround and round parking lights positioned on either side of the
license plate. At the rear were wider tail light bezels with triple
segment lenses. This styling is considered by many Camaro
enthusiasts as the ultimate muscle car look and arguably the most
desirable. This car is presented in its original LeMans Blue paint
(as depicted on the cowl tag), along with performance white stripe
accents. Under the hood lurks a high-compression full roller 350
CID V8, built by Conroes Choice Automotive. It sports a pair of
Edelbrock Performer aluminum heads and FAST EFI TBI Fuel Injection
sits atop the Edelbrock hi-rise aluminum manifold. An MSD Digital
6AL ignition system helps boost the spark, while coated headers
suction the exhaust gases into a 2.5" dual exhaust system, and the
performance mufflers give it that throaty muscle car sound that
enthusiasts crave. The hi-po 350 sends the power to the rear via a
built 700R4 4-speed automatic, which twists the 3.90:1 gears in its
10-bolt Posi rear end. In the event you find yourself spending too
much time in the throttle, savoring the high RPM howl this 350
makes, the two-piece slotted and drilled Wilwood rotors and their
accompanying multipiston calipers up front will help you get back
to legal digits quickly. Inside this cool coupe is an Ivory bucket
seat interior (also noted on the cowl tag), which seems practically
new, as does the black carpet. An Equus tri-gauge cluster above the
console helps keep the driver informed about critical operating
systems, as well. The console features a period correct "staple"
shifter, with an updated gear indicator bezel, alluding to the
4-speed transmission (with "D-3-2-1" positions, rather than the
"D-2-1" of a 3-speed auto). Additional features on this 1969 Camaro
for sale include Vintage-style AM/FM Radio with Aux port, Power
Brakes, Radial Tires, Seat Belts, and Vinyl Interior. For more
