This is a stunning factory Pace Car that bears the correct Z11 on
the original cowl tag making it one of only 3,675 examples ever
built with a 02D production date (referencing the 4th week of
February). According to the NCRS Shipping Report, this available
example was used as one of the 75 "Official Cars" used during the
Indianapolis 500 festivities for visiting press, dignitaries, and
VIP guests throughout the week's events. It lists the Dealer as 000
in Zone 25 which is the Chevrolet Zone Office in Indianapolis,
Indiana, shipping on March 6th, 1969. Our car has had just 4 owners
from new, with the second maintaining possession from 1971-2014,
then owned by his wife until 2024 after his passing.
Seen here is a well-preserved and historic classic that has always
been properly cared for and serviced as necessary over recent
years. This included rebuilding the front-end suspension components
and all new brake equipment, tires, and fuel pump in early 2018. In
addition, the convertible top motor was resealed and fitted with
new hydraulic hoses in 2024. A new battery was installed as well.
This classic Chevy remains very solid throughout making for an
outstanding driver investment and special weekend show car!
History of Chevrolet's first-generation Camaro:
The Camaro was General Motors answer to the quick popularity of the
Ford Mustang. Being introduced just two years after the Ford Pony
car, the Mustang, Chevrolet wanted to impress buyers with more
aggressive body lines, multiple trim options, along with both big &
small block engine options. This idea instantly put a dent in Ford
sales every year, and a new generation of the Ford/ Chevrolet
rivalry had begun! The final year of this first-generation Camaro
came about in 1969 and continues to be the most desirable
today!
Chevrolet was once again invited to be the pacesetter at the
Indianapolis 500 race, having been honored with the task just 2
years prior with the first-year 1967 Camaro. The 1969 model Camaro
carried over the previous year's drivetrain and major mechanical
components, but with all-new sheet metal, except the hood and trunk
lid, giving the car a substantially sportier look. New door skins,
rear quarter panels, and rear valance panels also gave the car a
much lower, wider, more aggressive presence. This styling would
serve for the 1969 model year only. To honor the Z11 Pace Car
model, each car would be finished identically in Dover White with
Hugger Orange Z/28 stripes and Deluxe Orange Houndstooth interior.
They would be factory-equipped with many favorable options, leaving
dealerships the option to choose the preferred engine size and
transmission, as well as any other available option including air
conditioning. Otherwise, the cars that appeared at the track were
all SS Rally Sport convertibles equipped with cowl induction hoods,
white taillamp panels & lower body sills, Rally wheels, deluxe seat
belts & steering wheels, rear spoiler, and power steering. Only
3,675 would be produced for the public, making them exceptionally
unique and special to witness at car shows today!
