Vehicle Description
A nice Camaro will be welcome at any local car show, but there are
a select few that also get invited to take center stage. This is
one of those classics. It's an ultra-desirable 1969 Chevrolet
Camaro RS/SS Indy 500 Pace Car convertible. It not only shows all
the right pieces of the Z11 factory pace car replica, but it's also
presented in a bright and correct style, right down to the V8 under
the hood. So it has been meticulously restored to make sure it will
instantly be the showpiece of your garage.
We love the Indy 500 Pace Car because it combines the love for the
first-gen icon with an even longer-standing performance legend. The
Z11 on the trim tag represents the full pace car option with the
RS/SS, and while Chevrolet said they were going to send these to
all 6,400 dealers, only 3,675 were made - so it's a true rarity.
And even when you do find one, few have been restored to this level
of accuracy. The Dover White paint is smooth to the touch, and the
Hugger Orange stripes are boldly painted on top. Plus, the pace car
decals on the door could still lead a race today. And the right
desirable details are in place, including the RS hidden headlights,
cowl hood, and the Hugger Orange pinstripes highlighting the 1969
car's unique fender lines. When you're checking out all these
special elements, don't overlook that this car also has its
fundamentals correct. The bumpers and trim shine brightly, the
folding roof is pristine, and the Rally wheels are the correct
14-inch size. While this does not show any history of being one of
the cars used at the Indy 500, it has been outfitted with dual flag
poles and flags even come with the sale. So we bet you'll even be
asked to lead a parade or two.
These always look terrific with the top down, because the orange
houndstooth interior is so distinct. And you'll love all the
classic details, right down to the button-top seatbacks and
wood-like trim. Front bucket seats with headrests and a tilt
steering column are the kinds of features that remind you this car
was built to be a driver. After all, cloth seats in a convertible
are always desirable, and high-traffic areas like the carpeting and
steering wheel are done in black. This also has the makings for a
comfortable cruiser with a power convertible top, upgraded AM/FM/CD
stereo in the glove box, and even provisions for air conditioning
(it will need servicing to blow cold again.) And your favorite
feature might just be the trunk. The inner trunk lid has a
signature that's believed to be 1969 Indy 500 winner Mario Andretti
(there's even a picture to help support this.)
The under the hood is the year-correct 350 cubic inch V8 with the
right production date to be in sync with the body. This L48
powerplant came rated from the factory at 300 horsepower, which
made it the most powerful small blocks of its time. And because
you're going to spend a lot of time showing off this Camaro, the
engine bay is ready to be showcased. It looks factory-correct with
all the right pieces, including the Chevy orange on the block and
valve covers. There's even the pan around the air grabber for the
proper cowl induction hood setup. This was built to be a good
all-around driver, and so you have a three-speed automatic
transmission, power steering, power brakes, and front disc brakes.
So it really is easy to have this one for your parade car and/or
boulevard cruiser.
The sale comes complete with a documents binder. This is a
well-presented Z11 pace car that is ready to hit the road and get
you noticed. Call today!!!
