For Sale: 1969 Chevrolet Camaro in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

1969 Chevrolet Camaro RS Convertible

The 1969 Camaro was the highest volume first generation Camaro, selling 243,085 units in a long model run that extended from September 26, 1968, through the end of November, 1969. The 1969 model year was extended into November due to manufacturing problems that delayed the introduction of the second generation model planned for 1970 which wasn't introduced until February 26, 1970. The 1969 production total wasn't exceeded until 1978.

For consignment, a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro RS convertible with a title verified 115,720 actual miles. This car received a professional frame off restoration and has always been garaged and it shows!

Exterior
There's no special name for this color, it's simply Black, done up in two stage application and it shines like a mirror, and it fits the '69 well, muting the character line without hiding it, and letting what subtle trim there is come through clearly. Most notably are the triple strakes of the faux rear quarter vents, the billet-like trim around the markers, and of course, the chrome bumpers. 17-inch SKOP wheels are a nice choice here, polished lips around argent spokes and calipers that do not deter from overall aesthetics with some kind of bright color. The black canvas soft top is in great condition too and has a tinted plastic rear window to go with the tinted sides, keeping things clean and slightly sinister. We would be remiss if we didn't mention the RS trim and headlight covers which many feel improve the overall look. Meanwhile, we could find no exterior imperfections on the outside of this car.

Interior
Clean black door panels occupy both sides in standard configuration and clean lines, along with electric window switches. The bucket seats are also dressed in black vinyl with textured inserts, ornamental buttons, and topped with headrests. The rear seats share the materials and both front and back are in excellent condition. A wood rimmed steering wheel shares its column with a tachometer and that leads to the standard dash with three square frames housing round gauges and a clock, all with red needles on black faces. Woodgrain trim runs across the mid panel, taking in switchgear along the way and to the right we find the AM/FM/CD radio over a tri-pack of added gauges. A horseshoe shifter straddles the center console embellished by more woodgrain, while black loop carpet covers the floor protected by rubber mats. In the trunk, a period type plaid vinyl mat provides a barrier to the steel floor.

Drivetrain
Clean and show quality is how we find the 350ci V8 with a Holley 4-barrel carburetor over an Edelbrock Performer EPS intake manifold. Ceramic coated headers begin the exhaust process and a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission gets things going by routing power to the 10 bolt rear axle.

Undercarriage
Based on the topside condition, we're not surprised to find the underside just about spotless. Newer SSBC Force 10 power disc brakes are found at all four wheels and the dual exhaust finds its way through FlowMaster mufflers before finding their way to stainless bevel cut tips out back. Suspension includes coil springs up front and leaf springs in the back and sway bars are present front and rear as well.

Drive-Ability
The horseshoe shifter ranks up there with the pistol grip as one of the cooler handles of the era, and we move it into Drive and roll this black beauty onto the test loop, emitting a sweet exhaust note all the way there. The engine runs strong and the car accelerates, handles, and stops well and looks darn good doing it. But our checklist comes up with some items that are not working at the time of our drive including the A/C, the horn, clock, tachometer, speedometer, odometer and reverse lights. Beyond this list, all other items function as intended. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.

Despite the functionality issues, this presents as a near flawless car and when you have an underside as clean as the topside, you know it's been pampered. We don't make any predictions at the mall, but nice Gen 1 Camaros sell like hotcakes and this one sizzles in the griddle with the best of them.
