Vehicle Description
The 1969 Camaro was recently named the most significant Chevrolet
of the past 100 years, and when you look at this bright orange
coupe, it's pretty easy to figure out why. With a 350 under the
hood, timeless good looks, and the most stylish interior to come
out of GM's design studios that decade, this Camaro tells you all
you need to know about the democratic process.
Few other cars wear orange paint as well as a Camaro, and somehow
on this one it balances aggressive good looks with a stylish
upscale vibe. Not too bright, but not soft, either, it's the
quintessential muscle car color that projects plenty of attitude
out on the street. This car was repainted fairly recently and looks
quite good today, with good panel fit and very straight, clean
sheetmetal throughout. White Z/28 stripes are almost mandatory,
just like the chin spoiler and ducktail spoiler out back, all of
which give this Camaro traditional good looks that never go out of
style. Details like the blacked-out SS grille, gill inserts ahead
of the rear wheels, and polished stainless wheel moldings were all
options, and they elevate this Camaro above some of its
stripped-down brothers. Is it any wonder why the 1969 Camaro
remains the single most popular car for sale in our showrooms?
Strato buckets were standard equipment on the Camaro, and those in
this F-body are fitted with reproduction seat covers that look
authentic. This one originally carried a code 727 Ivory interior,
so you know that anything that's black has been replaced, which is
pretty much everything. Carpets, door panels, dash pad, and even
the headliner were replaced during the restoration and it all looks
quite correct with only modest signs of use. The gauges are all
functional and somewhere along the line this car received a set of
auxiliary gauges under the dash. A center console is always a
welcome find in any muscle car, and you already know how much we
love the horseshoe shifter GM used on many of its performance
models. The overall effect is comfortable and stylish, like your
favorite pair of jeans. You also get a clean trunk that's wearing
correct spatter paint and a fresh mat that still has wrinkles from
the packaging (don't worry, it'll relax and lay flat in time).
Few powertrain combinations are more reliable and time-tested than
the 350 cubic inch V8 backed by a TH350 automatic. As a former
racer myself, I have always preferred the small block cars for
their superior handling and generally more nimble demeanor, and
this Camaro is no exception. It's also nicely finished, with some
chrome dress-up, Chevy Orange engine enamel, plus a chrome air
cleaner assembly feeding an Edelbrock carburetor on a Weiand intake
manifold. It's almost a show piece, so you won't mind people having
a look under the hood, and it runs extremely well. Hailing from a
warm climate, you know the chassis is in good order, the original
floors are solid, and all the original equipment remains intact.
Long-tube headers feed a mellow-sounding Flowmaster dual exhaust
system, and the transmission's quick reflexes practically define
the term "stomp and steer," making this an awesome car for slicing
through traffic. Rounding out this car's list of noteworthy
attributes are 17-inch American Racing wheels wearing 235/45/17
front and 235/50/17 rear performance radials.
