Vehicle Description
The 1969 Camaro SS/RS 396 Convertible showcased here represents an
exemplary instance of automotive preservation, having undergone a
meticulous full frame-off restoration adhering precisely to its
original factory specifications. The provenance, including the VIN
# 124679N525217 and its Norwood, Ohio origin, enhances its
historical significance. This particular model, equipped with the
L-34 396 Cu In. engine boasting 350 H.P. TurboJet power, exhibits a
rare combination of features. The Super Sport (SS) trim style,
denoted by the "X22" code, and the Rally Sport (RS) enhancements,
encompassing hideaway headlights, improved interior, and
distinctive taillights, contribute to its distinguished character.
Noteworthy options include the 3.73:1 locking rear differential,
convertible power top in white (Code CO6), and the elegant "LeMans
Blue" exterior (Paint Code-71). The interior showcases an
Ivory/White Houndstooth theme (Code 729), complemented by
factory-installed air conditioning (Code C6). Further enhancing its
desirability are features like power front disc and rear drum
brakes (Code J52), a console with special instruments, a tachometer
(Code U16), and a tilt steering column (Code N33). The vehicle's
aesthetic appeal is accentuated by the "Hockey Stick" Stripes, "SS"
and "396" chrome badging (Code X66), and the rear spoiler (Code
D80). This meticulously researched Camaro, believed to be one of a
limited production (either 59 or 65 made), has received accolades
in major shows and graced the pages of reputable publications,
including GM Collectors Guide and Muscle Car Classics. Its rarity,
coupled with the exhaustive detailing by prior owners, positions it
as a distinguished collectible in the realm of classic automobiles.
