Vehicle Description
1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z28
What happened in 1969? Major News Stories include The Beatles' last
public performance on the roof of Apple Records, the first Concorde
test flight is conducted in France, the Boeing 747 jumbo jet makes
its debut, Woodstock attracts more than 350,000 rock-n-roll fans,
members of a cult led by Charles Manson murder five people, the
Chapaquiddickaffair with Senator Edward Kennedy, PBS was
established, the first man is landed on the moon on the Apollo 11
mission by the United States and Neil Armstrong and Edwin 'Buzz'
Aldrin became the first humans to set foot on the Moon.
For consignment, a blast, (literally) from the past in the form of
the 1969 Chevrolet Camaro. This one is special due to it having the
elusive X33 code. Save for the engine stamping date and suffix code
being machined off and a partial VIN stamped in the alternate
location and a date correct transmission has been installed, all is
still correct for this 1969 Z28 Camaro. Our consignor states a mere
565 miles have been clocked since a restoration and this car comes
with its Protect-O-Plate, a certificate of authenticity from Camaro
Hi-Performance Inc. and Jerry MacNeish, the window sticker, pre
delivery checklist, and a NCRS shipper data report. You are about
to delve into one of the finest examples of the fabled 1969 Z28
that has ever graced our Hallowed Halls of Classic Auto Mall.
Exterior
Garnet Red covers the straight steel slabs on this car, which are
all minding their gaps very well and it's really nicely buffed and
has a glass like presentation with only a few minor faults upon
close inspection. Also adorning the exterior are dual wide black
painted on racing stripes, which.... well, race up the long hood of
this pony car stopping at the front windscreen, and continue on the
small rear deck and cool spoiler atop. No rust and a spiffy black
vinyl top is on. All this steel frames 15-inch deep dish rally
style wheels all wrapped up in 215/65R15 rubber, (from the 15th
week of 2018), on all 4 corners. All chrome on bumpers, brite-work,
and correct badging is excellent and mirror-like, it just doesn't
get any better than this!
Interior
A swing of the doors and we can see well preserved black embossed
vinyl door panels, and seats in the form of sleek high back
headrest buckets in front, and a 2 plus 2 rear bench. Racing up the
center is a pristine center console which houses the Hurst shifter,
and a bevy of4 white faced gauges in it just below the dash. Some
wood grained applique frames the shifter, and is also used on the
various portions of the dash and glovebox. Speaking of the dash,
all original and fairly clean, and fronted by a wood applique
center rimmed steering wheel. The dash is raked inward as it glides
towards the floor and has the rally gauge package within its
confines. New black carpet, and nicely preserved tight black
headliner are all presenting as showroom. Also a shout out to the
trunk too as it sports a new checkered tweed vinyl liner, and has
correct spare and jack setup. Power steering and power brakes are
noted as well as the correct push button AM radio are all installed
on this X33 car.
Drivetrain
Under the reverse scooped hood residing within a pristine engine
bay is a date correct, (B189), casting date and 3956618 casting
number 302ci V8. Unfortunately the stamping pad has been machined
down during the engine rebuilt, however a partial VIN stamping is
present on the alternatestamping location, just above the oil
filter housing. It has a correct Holley List# 3923289DZ4-barrel
carburetor, however the carb does carry a later assembly stamping
date of 943, and a correct Z28 intake manifold, casting number
3932472. A date correct but not original, (P9B12B, February 12th
1969), Muncie M21 4-speed manual transmission is on back, and this
pushes power to a 12 bolt rear with 3.73 posi gears. This rear axle
carries the correct casting number 3894860NF, correct casting date,
B129, and correct stamping codes, BU0225G. Rust free exhaust
manifolds from the factory flow out of a beautifully restored
Chevrolet Orange painted block, snazzy cast aluminum ribbed valve
covers, and a correct air black cleaner housing. All hoses are nice
and supple, and everything else is gleaming and screaming for
attention under this hood. No rust or corrosion or even a speck of
dirt!
Undercarriage
All's well underneath which has been completely restored, and while
in process had all floor pans blasted and painted, and they are
looking good! A sturdy unibody and a dual chambered rust free like
new exhaust snakes by all buttoned up independent coil spring
suspension on front and new leaf springs on the rear. Drum brakes
are on back and discs upfront, and are power assisted.
Drive-Ability
This fine muscle X33 code example fired right up, ran very nicely
and handled all the challenges of our test track and critical eye
for anything not working. We found the wiper transmission needs
adjusted, and the power steering pulley is a bit wobbly when viewed
while the engine is running. All else was a pleasurable muscle car
experience right out of 1969 Peabody.
A beautiful restoration indeed, all around nice X33 code Camaro
with plenty of attention to detail during the restoration, and all
the paperwork required to keep even the pickiest Camaro aficionado
sated. "Tranquility base here..the Eagle has landed!" Now get in
here fast to grab this Camaro before I put it in my own
collection.
