This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS 396 tribute nails it in all the
best places. You've got a distinctive color, a comfy interior, good
details, and big block power under the hood. So this tribute has
the look, power, feel, and sound of authenticity.
Butternut Yellow is a great color when you want to give a legendary
coupe like this Camaro a distinction. The year-correct hue was even
given a respray later in life, and since quality endures, you still
have a radiant shine that shows off the sharper edge styling that
was exclusive to the '69 Camaro. And this one also gets all the
best first-gen upgrades. The D90 stripe package laid on top is done
in black to coordinate with the blackout hidden headlight RS front
end with hidden headlights and the premium vinyl roof - it's a nice
dark contest against the creamy paint color. And the Z/28-style
15-inch Rally wheels have a wider rear set for a terrific stance.
The cowl induction hood, the deep chin spoiler, and the full-width
rear spoiler are all part of a style that's made to be remembered.
While it all makes you love this performance machine, don't forget
to check out the details. The bright chrome bumpers, good glass,
and uniform gaps are all a reminder of the time it takes for a
quality presentation.
Since we like the look of the black exterior accents against the
paint, we also love the full black interior. They took the time
with the major components to make sure it has a mix of
well-preserved pieces and that any replacements are done with
proper materials. So it has a nice stock appearance everywhere you
look, including the bucket seats with headrests, center console,
and wood-like trim. Even the dome light greets you when the door
opens. This was built to be the ultimate driver's Camaro, and so
you have features like the three-spoke sports steering wheel, large
tach, tilt steering column, and iconic quad auxiliary gauges on the
console. You'll also notice a few tasteful upgrades that go to the
heart of a driver's car. It includes LED lights to see better at
night and a retro-style AM/FM digital tuner with Bluetooth to give
you the best in modern driving music.
The fenders advertise a big block, and all that motor under the
hood proves it wasn't lying. Just like the rest of this coupe, it
was made to be shown off with the smooth yellow inner walls drawing
your attention to the 396 cubic-inch V8. The powerhouse looks like
a terrific classic GM muscle machine with a bold orange block,
shiny valve covers, and the distinct gasket sealing the intake to
the fresh air cowl hood. And as you look closer, you can also see
nice upgrades like a Holley four-barrel carburetor, an Edelbrock
intake, an HEI distributor, billet pulleys, and headers feeding the
dual exhaust and Magnaflow mufflers. The result is a strong-running
coupe that's great for driving. There are even good anytime
features like a three-speed automatic transmission, an upgraded
aluminum driveshaft, power steering, power brakes, front discs, and
rear traction bars.
This Camaro loves to turn heads with everything from its color to
its rumble. And that's a good thing because it's worthy of all the
extra attention it commands. So if you're ready for all eyes on
you, call today!
