Vehicle Description
It's not often you come across a big block 1969 Chevrolet Camaro
RS/SS that was ordered with all the right features and still
carries them perfectly today. So from the numbers-matching L35 big
block, to the close ratio four-speed, to the houndstooth seats -
this is exactly how you wanted it new, which makes it even more
desirable on this well preserved/restored classic. Even the low
mileage is documented to be accurate!
This car inspires love/lust at every angle. The pristine shine of
the factory-correct Tuxedo Black will make your heart race, and
that's because the deep/dark paint was given a proper investment in
a professional respray. So now it loves to radiate no matter if
it's in the midday sun or the midnight moon. And while the black
makes it sporty, the details make this one downright aggressive.
The white D91 stripe draws even more attention to the blacked-out
hidden headlight RS front end. The Rally wheels are even mounted on
redline tires to keep the period-correct intimation factor going.
There's a proper spoiler out back, and it's nice to see a stock
hood with the correct velocity stack inserts. So as you look over
every inch, you're going to discover a car that loves to look like
an aggressive muscle machine, and yet, they paid special attention
to making sure it respects its history.
Step inside, and this Camaro provides one of the coolest blends of
premium and performance - all while remaining factory spec. For
example, houndstooth bucket seats are an icon of these first-gen
Camaros. They especially look great on this one where they have
been properly recovered to look as crisp as the black and white on
the exterior. This has the premium center console with the proper
wood-like paneling. This draws attention to everything from the
quad auxiliary gauge setup to the factory AM radio that's still on
display. And while the presentation is great to show off, this one
is also a true driver's machine. The grippy factory steering wheel
gives you a great view of the large speedo and tach directly in
front. And that Hurst shifter is just calling out for your right
hand.
The big block L35 396 cubic-inch V8 neatly fills the engine bay
with its advertised 325 horsepower. This is the original
numbers-matching unit, and one glance at the highly detailed engine
bay, and you'll see they made sure to have this very important
showpiece displayed properly. Dark paint, crisp/correct hoses, and
tidy wires all funnel your attention to the bold orange block in
the middle. The bright chrome on the air cleaner as well as the
valve covers all have the correct decals. If you like this kind of
original appearance, then you'll love to know about how this SS
coupe inhales deeply with a proper Rochester four-barrel
carburetor, and exhales with that ideal big block authority out of
the dual exhaust. And you're in control of it all thanks to the
original Muncie M21 close-ratio four-speed manual transmission. And
there are more great driving features like power steering and power
brakes w/ discs up front.
A coupe this significant need the right paperwork to back it all
up. That's why it comes with the original dealer invoice, bill of
sale, and info documenting all five owners of this Camaro. This is
a bold big block that really respects its history. Don't miss your
chance, call today!
