Vehicle Description
STK 3416 1969 Chevrolet Camaro RS SS Z11 Pace Car
The 1969 Camaro was named official Pace Car for the Indianapolis
500. Chevrolet created a beautiful White/Orange Camaro RS/SS
convertible to meet the challenge and then produced a limited
number (said to be 3,675) of the 'Indy 500 Pace Car' models for
sale to the public. These cars used stock Camaro performance
drivetrain components, but had unique styling options. This fully
restored '69 Camaro RS/SS convertible is a true Pace Car tribute, a
factory replica of the 'Indy 500 Pace Car'. The build date, VIN,
engine, transmission, rear end and other components all match up
with a Pace Car that would have been built within the production
date range. The trim tag on the firewall has all of the correct
codes unique to the factory 'Indy Sport Accents' package (code
Z11).
Horsepower is furnished by a 350ci/300hp motor that has the correct
casting number for a Pace Car. It is said to have been completely
rebuilt and appears to be as factory. The small-block is equipped
with a Quadrajet 4V carburetor and period-correct Chevy alloy valve
covers (which may have been added at some point). Torque is
delivered by a 3-speed Turbo Hydra-matic transmission w/correct VIN
stamp to a 12-bolt differential w/correct stamping that was factory
fitted with 3.07:1 Detroit gears. A spotless chassis is equipped
with power steering and power disc/drum brakes w/dual master.
The Camaro's body was carefully prepped and professionally finished
in the Indy Pace Car colors of Dover White (code 50A) with Orange
Z28-style accents on the hood and deck lid (code 720). All Indy 500
Pace Cars were factory optioned with the Rally Sport/Super Sport
accent packages that added vacuum operated hide-away headlights,
simulated rear fender louvers and taillight trim. There is also a
ZL2 functional cowl induction hood and a subtle rear spoiler. This
convertible has the 'Indy 500' decals on the doors, originally a
dealer installed option, and GM 14" Rally wheels mount Firestone
Wide Oval bias tires. A fully restored interior is outstanding.
This interior color was available only in the Indy 500 Pace Car
version and featured orange 'houndstooth' upholstery and door
panels. Other options on this Camaro include a full console
w/shifter, 3-spoke wheel, full gauge package w/tachometer, tinted
windows, manual white convertible top and AM radio. This Camaro
'Indy 500 Pace Car' is Bowtie history that will only become more
valuable over time. ALL VEHICLES SOLD "AS IS".
