Vehicle Description
1969 Chevrolet Camaro Hardtop
For consignment, a fairly unmodified Camaro! Seems all the models
we get in here are all modified in some way but this example is
looking the part of what sat in the showrooms in 1969. It does have
a modified 427ci V8 so it will go fast, but it appears as a mild
mannered grocery getter otherwise. Just pure 1969 Camaro.
Exterior
With a respray in a color change to Marina Blue over straight
rust-free panels with very well minded gaps make for a very clean,
head-turning cruiser that sports distinctly American livery! Zoom
in on the details and this Camaro continues to impress. At the
front of its body, a satin black grille hangs with the familiar
blue bowtie emblem above clean parking lamps, and clean chrome
bumper. Behind that grille, a requisite Camaro header fronts the
"stinger" hood, which has a white accenting on its top. This flows
back to a non tinted greenhouse that's dressed in polished mirrors,
polished wipers, and straight stainless trim. At the sides of that
glass, wheel frames and rocker spears, we note bright and shiny
stainless steel, with the latter running rearward to the stamped in
the sheet metal quarter louvers. Traditional door handles, door
mirrors and correct badging grace the sides. And at the back of the
car, a bowtie branded filler panel works with canted outward
taillights and a second chromed bumper. Standard body matching blue
steel wheels have bowtie badged chromed caps and some raised white
letter classic looking Goodyear polyglas rubber on all 4
corners.
Interior
Continuing inward we see a sea of white nice condition vinyl. This
is covering the door panels which are wonderfully kept, as are the
buckets, which are sleek late 60's high back versions with large
headrests attached. In the back is a white 2 plus 2 rear bench that
is just as original and as nice as the front buckets. In the
center, well within the driver's reach is a simple chrome handled
Hurst shifter growing from the black carpeting. The dash is
original and has the factory steering wheel in front. Standard
gauges, the speedometer on the left and fuel on the right flank a
ribbed Camaro badged center panel. We also note the wiper slide to
the lower left along. On the column now hangs an Autogage
tachometer and in dash central on the bottom are 2 aftermarket
gauges to keep track of the oil pressure and water temp of the mill
under the hood. To the cluster right are the chrome heater slides
and a radio delete panel. Black carpeting in nice condition is on
the floors and above is a tight black vinyl headliner.
Drivetrain
Lifting the hood we are met with a big block 427ci V8. It has been
bored .030 over, has a GM steel crank, GM 804 rods, TRW Forged 11-1
pistons, and a GM 427-435HP camshaft. On top is an Edelbrock 800cfm
4-barrel carburetor. On the back we see a 5-speed manual Tremec TKX
TR3551 with an MDL clutch set and a lightened billet flywheel. Way
back is a 12 bolt 3.73 posi Truetrac differential with 30 spline
axles. Some definite get up and go for this otherwise unassuming
grocery getter exterior. Now you know why those extra gauges are
there!
Undercarriage
All solid and black shiny steel under this last year 1st generation
Camaro. The flooring and inner rockers show no signs of repair or
invasive rust. As a matter of fact, the only rust seen is on the
nuts and bolts of the suspension components. An independent coil
spring suspension is on the front and in the rear is a leaf spring
arrangement. Front power disc brakes show the roll from the 427
cubes upfront and in back are power drums. Headers and a Magnaflow
muffler system is on the shiny stainless exhaust system.
Drive-Ability
This car fired right up thanks to a new big block and instantly
settled into a pleasant idle. Out on the test track it had
wonderful acceleration from the V8, smooth shifting and responsive
bias free braking. A wonderfully complete fully operational package
hereand it drew many looks on my multiple laps around our test
track. The horn and heater blower were not working.
All buttoned up for the upgraded power mechanicals, on the exterior
and on the interior it looks showroom fresh. A beautiful color
combo, all ready to roll in style and even add a bit of excitement
to your life. Just prepare to be stopped for lots of conversation
as there aren't many that can cook like this beautiful example.
