For Sale: 1969 Chevrolet Camaro in Lutz, Florida

A couple years back, the 1969 Camaro was named the most significant Chevrolet of the past 100 years, and when you look at this fully restored, dropdead gorgeous 1969 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS Tribute Restomod, it's pretty easy to figure out why. With a thumping 383 V8 stroker under the hood, a smooth-shifting automatic transmission, a few choice options, and a beautifully appointed and comfortable A/C interior, this Camaro was built to do more than just look good.

No other car wears racing stripes as well as a vintage Camaro; they practically define the brand. Originally Code 59 Frost Green, the color was professionally changed and turned up to '11' when it was sprayed the gorgeous Cortez Silver it wears now, further punctuated by the painted-on LeMans style Black stripes. It's an outstanding choice for this high-performance F-body, accentuating the car's legendary curves, sharp lines, and crouched profile. Projecting an image that says it takes no prisoners, the gorgeous paint looks right on the aggressive RS/SS backdrop, especially with factory styling upgrades like the front chin spoiler, a Detroit Speed hide-away headlight package, 2-inch cowl hood, quarter 'gills' SS-spec ducktail spoiler, and RS-spec taillight/reverse light set-up in the rear. This car was repainted 3-years-ago and still looks like a fantastic, high-grade driver today, showing only minor imperfections that should never stop it from being the center of attention at car shows. Modern materials and a touch of metallic in the finish raise the car's curb appeal even further, although we love that the builders restrained themselves enough to merely highlight and enhance the original design, not replace it with too many contemporary tricks. Details like the blacked-out SS grille, polished rocker moldings, and the fog lights below the front bumper elevate this Camaro above some of its stripped-down brothers, creating a wonderful contrast between the race-ready RS/SS gear and the high-impact color.

Black vinyl upholstery is the perfect choice for a 60s Camaro like this, and the look is OEM with just a touch of added flash. Like the exterior paint, the upholstery gives the Camaro a great deal of style that suits its price point and reminds you why the '69 Camaro is such an icon. Everything inside appears to be brand new or completely restored, including the plush black carpets, matching door panels, and even the dash pad that's completely free of cracks and blemishes. The factory gauges are all still in place with crisp, clear markings, including the four white-face units inside the center console gauge kit, offering the driver all the vital information regarding the beast under the hood. And speaking of the center console, it houses an ever-popular horseshoe shifter to manage the automatic transmission below, and is adorned with the gorgeous wood applique that warms up the otherwise monotone cabin. Very upscale, indeed. Aftermarket additions include a leather-rimmed black billet steering wheel, a modern retro-style stereo system that fits into the original radio's slot, and a full Vintage Air A/C unit just above it - meaning it's very easy to get comfortable for the serious business of driving. The rear seat is equally impressive and has likely never been used, black rubber Camaro floormats protect the carpets, while out back the trunk is surprisingly spacious and protected by a reproduction plaid mat.

That's a powerful 383 cubic inch V8 stroker motor under the hood that seemingly puts big block power in a small block package. With big horsepower to the rear wheels and enough torque to groove the asphalt, it's definitely got the firepower to match its killer looks. Many enthusiasts prefer the small block cars for their superior handling and generally more nimble demeanor, and this Camaro is no exception. Augmented with Manley aluminum heads and topped with a Holley 4-barrel carburetor and aluminum air-gap intake, it's breathes easy and delivers quick power up and down the throttle. It's nicely finished with some chrome dress-up and correct Chevy Orange paint on the block, along with chrome Chevrolet valve covers and a big radiator aluminum up front. Ceramic-coated long-tube headers dump into a killer-sounding H-pipe dual exhaust system with Flowmaster mufflers, and the TH350 3-speed automatic transmission offers crisp shifts while spinning the heavy-duty 12-bolt 3.73 posi-traction rear end out back. Rounding out this car's list of noteworthy attributes are power front disc brakes, power steering, an upgraded front suspension, and slick American Racing 'Old Style' Torque Thrust wheels wearing 225/45/17 front and 275/40/17 rear Falken performance rubber.

If you haven't experienced the greatest Chevy of all time, this is an ideal opportunity to do so, and if your goal is fun, then few cars will deliver more fun per dollar than this 1969 RS/SS tribute. Call today!
