Vehicle Description
This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 is a freshly restored coupe with
a mean all-black style, and the big block is even larger than the
factory offered. Plus, with upgrades everywhere from A/C to fuel
injection, this is the kind of restomod that impresses with its
comfort, style, and power. So you're looking at an icon that you're
going to love to drive.
The trim tag really tells a terrific story about this car. It
indicates this was born an ultra-desirable Tuxedo Black car. That
always has added value, and so we understand why this car was given
a comprehensive restoration. It has a deep luster that helps the
sunlight show off the well-fitting body panels. And all that gloss
goes well with the bright chrome bumpers and trim. So you know they
took their time working on this one. And the investment of extra
effort and money is because the trim tag indicates this is an
X22-code SS 396 car. That makes this the ultimate first-gen Camaro,
in the best color, and born with the meanest attitude around. A
true Super Sport means the aggressive details like cowl hood, chin
spoiler, and rear spoiler are all earned. And of course, the
darkness let the white SS stripe stand out. There are also hints
that there's even more power to this big block coupe with the
upgraded 15-inch rally wheels and wider rear tires. But for most
people, the first impression is more about showing off the classic
performance style we all love.
The factory black interior is on the trim tag, too, and that means
this was a blackout car from day one. The fundamentals like bucket
seats, door panels, and carpeting show the right freshness of a
good restoration, but nothing here ever feels out of place on a
classic. That's why even the AM radio is still on display for a
true vintage atmosphere. Even the upgrades are subtle. The REM
Automotive sound deadener kit is hidden in the panels, and the
R134a air conditioning uses well-integrated Vintage Air controls.
This is a power car that you'll want to drive, and so you get the
right driver-oriented features. It includes front bucket seats with
headrests, a grippy Chevy sports steering wheel, and a Hurst
shifter calling out for your right hand.
The engine bay has a fresh and tidy look that tells this coupe has
been given a solid investment everywhere. The fender badges and
callouts on the air grabber say this is a 396ci motor, but that is
a bit of a fib, because this is a LARGER 454 cubic-inch V8. We're
told this is a fresh crate motor, and it has been built for
all-around appeal with an upgraded Holley intake, MSD Dynaforce
starter, serpentine belt kit, and an aluminum radiator with
electric fan. It's then topped with a Holley Sniper electronic fuel
injection system that adds both power and consistency to this
mighty big block. This makes for a strong running motor that makes
a sweet sound out of the dual exhaust and Flowmaster mufflers. The
Muncie four-speed manual transmission means you're in complete
control of the full package. And the clean look of the
undercarriage gives it the confident feel of a fresh build. Add in
power steering, power brakes, and front discs, and this makes for
an all-around great driver.
This is the Camaro SS 396 restomod with the right power and style
to be a true head-turner. So don't miss your chance at a terrific
total package, call today!
