Vehicle Description
This custom 1969 Chevrolet Camaro is powered by a GM Performance
Parts 50th Anniversary RPO ZL1 all-aluminum 427ci 8-cylinder engine
paired with a TREMEC TKO600 5-speed manual transmission and backed
by a 12-bolt limited-slip rear differential. Engine #411 of 427
produced is a commemoration of the original RPO ZL1 427 V8 that was
installed in special-order COPO Camaros back in 1969. This
factory-prepared engine with a billet aluminum pulley set generates
525hp and includes all the supporting factory paperwork to
substantiate the authenticity of this powerplant, as well as the
411 valve covers. An aluminum radiator with dual cooling fans helps
keep it cool. The undercarriage of this car has been completely
restored and features new fuel and brake lines, suspension bushings
and related steering components. Features include custom
Pro-Touring Hotchkis suspension with front and rear
stabilizer/anti-roll bars, power steering and power brakes (front
disc and rear drum). The ignition was upgraded to a GM HEI that
lights the air-fuel mixture from a Holley double-pumper carburetor.
The stainless-steel headers are connected to a dual exhaust
featuring electric cutouts that, with the flip of a switch, change
the exhaust system to open headers. This is a nut-and-bolt
frame-off restoration with approximately 950 since the build was
completed. The bodywork was professionally done and well-prepped
before the Daytona Yellow (paint code 76) was applied, along with
black stripes, Super Sport emblems and special 427 badges. The
original Data Tag is attached. The period-correct front-air dam,
rear-deck spoiler and SS hood with chrome louvers were also added.
The front bumper is painted the body color and features RS electric
override hideaway headlights. The rear bumper chrome and related
body stainless molding have all been restored. The trunk space has
been restored to factory condition with the correct houndstooth
floor mat. The interior features a power tilt steering column,
Hurst shifter, RS/SS rosewood steering wheel and console, with
optional houndstooth seat upholstery and factory-correct
GM/Chevrolet floor mats with the Bowtie emblem. The factory gauges
feature the AC Delco 120-mph speedometer and tachometer, center
dash-mounted clock and center console gauges. The stereo was
upgraded to an Alpine AM/FM/CD player with 45 watts per channel
that powers the front kick-panel-location speakers and
rear-package-tray 6x9 speakers. This car is riding on 15-inch steel
wheels painted the body color and capped with the COPO-correct
poverty hubcaps wrapped in new Goodyear Polyglas GT tires.
