Vehicle Description
If you're looking for a low mileage, one of a kind and well cared
for 1969 Camaro SS there's really no need to look much further than
this one. The first thing that jumps out at you is the striking
color combination, burgundy poly (code 67) and standard red (code
718) interior as well as the red SS side stripping. Although the
red color stripes were GM's default color when ordering burgundy
they were rarely chosen due to all others this color came with
either black or sometimes white interiors and generally
corresponding stripe colors. This is the only 1969 Super Sport ever
produced this way (one of one). The current owner had the privilege
to speak with the original owner and he shared the story of how he
had to "Play like hell" to get GM to build him the car the way he
wanted it! It took three attempts with each time being rejected
as..."undesirable color combination". The fear was the dealer would
be stuck with the car once the buyer actually saw it and in the end
the only way they'd agree to build it was if he'd pay for the car
upfront. Well, he did and thank god because this thing is stunning
in person! Both the burgundy poly (Corvette color) and the red
interior are two of the rarer colors used on Camaros that year
(approximately only 2.5% for each) so when you put them together...
well, you won't see another like this anywhere!
While the paint on this car isn't 100% perfect it's in incredible
condition considering the (outside only) was resprayed by Chevrolet
in 1972 with original DuPont acrylic lacquer due to peppering from
dirt roads on a New Mexico business trip in 1971. The minor
blemishes from the last 50 years don't detract from its appearance
in fact give it an original quality that shines just fine.
The original 57,000 miles becomes apparent when you start looking
closely and even more so when you start it up. Pump the gas pedal
setting the automatic choke and it fires straight up, tap it again
to kick it down and away you go, no long warm up necessary. Super
smooth idol with a perfect factory exhaust note. This car pretty
much runs and drives like it was 1969.
There's a difference between a restored car and a car that has
NEVER been taken apart. Original seals throughout for that perfect
door closing sound, No one has had their hands under the dash to
mess with anything, the seat frames and tracks look absolutely
brand new, the windows roll up and down as they should and
everything just works including the key warning buzzer!
As for the history of the car, the original owner kept this car
garaged in Ohio until he sold it in 1998 to a man in Kentucky
owning it until the current owner purchased it in 2015 bringing it
out west. There are no signs of body damage or rust whatsoever,
just a clean honest car that needs no excuses, just turn the key
and enjoy it. Many more interesting details about this car to
discover but for now feel free to ask any questions regarding
it.
The current wheels on the car(optional SS magnum) were simply to
give it an alternative look; however, the original 14 x 7 Chevrolet
rally wheels that came with the car are also available.
Thank you much for your interest
