Chevrolet has achieved many milestones throughout its decades of
motorsports dominance. From simple, strait-line dragsters to
meticulous, mid-engine endurance racers, the bowtie brand has made
a serious habit of enjoying the spoils of victory - an addiction
that seems natural since, after all, the marque was both founded by
and named after a scrappy race car driver. Over the years, that
on-track excellence has grown beyond cars and drivers to include
engineering and support roles. Not only has Chevy won at Indy, it's
had the honor of pacing The Greatest Spectacle In Racing more times
than any other manufacturer. And, among the marque's line-up of
esteemed Indianapolis 500 Pace Cars, perhaps no model is more
revered than the 1969 Camaro. That's why cars like this lovingly
preserved drop-top are so cool! The beneficiary of acute
restoration, this all-American icon wraps a smooth 350/3-speed
drivetrain in acclaimed aesthetics that are guaranteed to stand out
in a sea of Cranberry Red Chevelles. Looking for a unique,
factory-spec classic that commands attention? Check out this
awesome Camaro!
STRIPES AND FLAGS
One of 3,675 1969 Camaro Pace Cars produced, this authentic, fully
documented drop-top has benefitted from a lifetime of great service
and focused restoration. Naturally, the car's cosmetic bits have
been freshened and replaced over the years while its undercarriage
has remained largely original. A sculpted profile shines bright
Dover White paint under a fresh top, striking decals and requisite
Hugger Orange Rally Stripes. All expected Rally Sport trim is
present and accounted for, from the trick grille and aggressive
spoilers to the ornate louvers and optional lighting. Details like
polished mirrors, small bumper guards, a ZL2 hood and removable
flag supports add subtle retro spice. And today, this wholesome Z11
combines storied Chevrolet performance with the kind of old school
MoTown style that literally defines the golden age of American
muscle!
SS350
Pushing stout 10.25 to 1 compression into a solid 300 horsepower
straight from the factory, this Super Sport's 350 cubic inch
Turbo-Jet V8 is clean, classic and ready to rumble! That engine
funnels power to a tough Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission,
which spins a familiar 12-bolt axle. That spry drivetrain rolls on
a fully sorted suspension that's been serviced as needed. At the
edges of those bones, factory power steering joins power front disc
and rear drum brakes to provide greatly improved handling. Fried
dinosaurs travel through a fresh, true-dual exhaust system that's
complete with a correct, transverse muffler and polished stainless
tips. And torque meets the pavement through stainless-trimmed Rally
Wheels, which twist F70-14 Goodyear Polyglas Custom Wide
Treads.
HOUNDSTOOTH AND HUGGER
Open this F1's decaled doors and you'll find a Deluxe Orange
Houndstooth interior that's, well, to put it bluntly, much cooler
than anything found in modern cars. That handsome cockpit is
centered on fresh bucket seats that are finished with factory
headrests. At the front of those thrones, a dressed dash hangs
factory telemetry next to controls for Frigidaire air conditioning
and a Delco AM/FM radio. At the base of that dash, fade-free carpet
floats monochromatic mats between Deluxe door panels and a factory
console that's finished with 4-pack gauges and a Horseshoe Shifter.
And the driver turns a requisite Super Sport steering wheel.
Combining timeless aesthetics with solid restoration and a rockin'
drivetrain, this choice F-Body is the ideal car for cruising AND
showing. And if you're in the market for some timeless muscle with
an unbeatable combination of style and performance, it's a perfect
candidate for your next classic!
