restoration, various parts receipts, parts logs, how-to guides and
more In the heat of the ponycar race, Chevrolet gave its Camaro
some added spice for what became an extended 1969 production year.
This California Camaro is the perfect combination of options, ever
so desirable LeMans Blue exterior, power top convertible, RS and
the SS package with a L35 325HP 396 V8 matched with a close ratio
Muncie M21 and many other options. This car has been in the
Southwest for over 45 years and had a documented full frame off
restoration in 2006. This particular SS convertible was built in
GM?s Van Nuys, California factory. It was then delivered to
Community Chevrolet in Burbank, California and spent many decades
in Kingman Arizona. Dressed in correct LeMans Blue (code 71), the
paint and trim are in overall very good order and contrasts
perfectly with the white stripes. The car?s body is straight and
solid, the engine bay is extremely tidy, the car?s chrome bumpers
fit tightly to the body and the white, power-folding canvas top
looks great. Under the hood is a correct 325HP 396 CID V-8
Turbo-Jet, big-block engine (code L35) with a 10.25:1 compression
ratio and a correct Rochester Quadrajet carburetor. This Camaro is
only one of 4,608 examples made with this engine combination.
Backing the motor is a Muncie close-ratio, four-speed manual
transmission (code M21) and a Positraction rear end with 3.55:1
gearing. The 1969 Camaro carried over the previous year's
drivetrain and major mechanical components, but all-new sheet
metal, except the hood and trunk lid, gave the car a substantially
sportier look. The grille was redesigned with a heavy ?V? slant and
deeply inset headlights. New door skins, rear quarter panels, and
rear valance panel also gave the car a much lower, wider, more
aggressive look. This styling would serve for the 1969 model year
only. To increase competitiveness in the SCCA Trans-Am racing
series, optional four-wheel disc brakes with four-piston calipers
were made available during the year, under RPO JL8. This system
used components from the Corvette and made for a major improvement
in the braking capability and was a key to winning the Trans-Am
championship. The option was expensive and only 206 units were
produced. The Rally Sport (RS) option, RPO Z22, includes a special
black-painted grille with concealed headlights and headlight
washers, fender striping (except when sport striping or Z28 Special
Performance Package is specified), simulated rear fender louvers,
front and rear wheel opening moldings, black body sills, RS emblems
on grille, steering wheel and rear panel, Rally Sport front fender
nameplates, bright accented taillights, back-up lights below rear
bumper; also includes bright roof drip moldings on Sport Coupe.
This option could be added to any other option (i.e., SS or Z/28),
making the model a RS/SS or a RS/Z28. Competition to this Camaro in
1969 included Dodge?s Charger, Ford?s Mustang, Mercury?s Cougar and
Pontiac?s Firebird. Documentation includes two binders. One has
investment information and various identification details while the
other contains before and during photos of the car?s restoration,
various parts receipts, parts logs, how-to guides and more. If the
