now and forever the most cherished muscle car ever made. �€"Car and
Driver, August 2011 Car and Driver is far from alone in hailing the
1969 Camaro. Internet automotive site, thedrive.com, weighed in
with: The '69 Camaro is the most loved car in America. What
accounts for this level of passion? Car and Driver again: This
model year's combination of classic beauty, tidy size, and ample
under-hood space makes it a favorite starting point for tuners and
collectors. GM vice-president of global design Ed Welburn not only
owns one, he all but cloned the '69 Camaro to renew Chevy's fight
with the immortal Ford Mustang. It seems the urge to improve on the
late-sixties technology is almost irresistible, because as
thedrive.com put it: ... leaving the '69 Camaro in pristine,
factory-sealed condition is boring. The highest form the
improvements can take goes beyond a resto-mod update of a few
components. True believers call this sect of the car faith Pro
Touring (PT). On the sacred tree of motoring, the PT branch thrives
several limbs up from hot rods and a couple over from resto-mods.
The essential ingredients are outrageous power, 1.0-g cornering and
braking capabilities, and stock sheetmetal. The beautiful
pro-touring '69 Camaro offered here is an excellent example of the
breed. While the car's appearance is stunning in clear-coated deep
blue metallic paint complemented with twin wide silver racing
stripes across the cowl-induction hood and the rear deck, the
modifications inside and underneath take the car to full
pro-tourer. Performance matters. Noteworthy among the upgrades is
the LT1 5.7-liter V8 engine together with the 6-speed Tremec manual
transmission. The combination gives the car the best of all worlds:
serious power with the ability to bring it to bear across all
driving applications, freeway cruising to quarter-mile runs. Custom
headers and a dual exhaust pipes with crossover ensure an efficient
exhaust flow from the engine. Integrated, stock-appearing spoilers
front and rear add appropriate downforce. An oversized
staggered-width wheel-tire combination and massive ventilated and
cross-drilled disc brakes showing red calipers bring the car to a
stop effectively. And a stout shock absorber setup enhances
handling. Inside, many of the car's stock appointments remain. A
steering-wheel-mounted Carter tachometer is the most obvious
exception. A full console gauge package adds more engine-monitoring
capability, and the shift knob's 6-gear pattern is a subtle change
no performance-minded driver will miss. Seating surfaces have been
returned to original and are free of notable wear or tear. The
car's headliner, door panels and carpeting all show beautifully.
While the more than 180 high-definition photographs and the short
walk-around-and-startup video available on the GarageKeptMotors
website showcase the Camaro in detail, we encourage in-person
inspections at our Grand Rapids, Michigan showroom. Please call to
arrange an appointment in advance, or get in touch by phone or
email if you have any questions. All the visual delights of the
most cherished muscle car ever made, but with... more muscle,
better handling, and 21stcentury overall performance. Who says you
can't have it all?
