1969 Chevrolet Camaro 396 SS Tribute For SaleThis 1969 Chevrolet
Camaro is a period-correct 396 SS tribute not a numbers-matching
example, but a professionally built car assembled around a fresh
high-performance powertrain and a full chassis rebuild. 1969 was
the final year of the first-generation Camaro, and its restyled
body remains the most sought-after of the platform, making it a
popular canvas for high-performance tribute builds like this
one.Under the hood is a 427-cubic-inch big-block built in a 454
block, using a forged 427 crankshaft, new pistons and rings, a Comp
roller cam, roller lifters, and roller rockers. The heads (casting
number 358048) have been set up as performance units with new
valves, Comp valve springs, and a competition valve job. Induction
comes from a Weiand intake topped with an 850 cfm Holley 4150
Double Pumper, and spark is handled by a billet distributor running
MSD 6A ignition. Long-tube ceramic-coated headers feed a 2.5-inch
exhaust system.Backing the engine is a Rossler High Performance
Street/Strip Turbo 400 with a standard shift-pattern valve body,
built specifically for this car and installed new alongside a fresh
3800 stall converter. Power is routed to a Moser 12-bolt rear end
with 31-spline axles, a Posi unit, and 4.11 gears also installed
new as part of the build. The combination reads as a traditional
drag-oriented street/strip setup, geared toward quick launches and
strong short-track pulls while still being streetable.The chassis
was rebuilt completely during the build, with new body bushings,
new front-end components, new shocks, all-new brakes with stainless
lines, and stainless fuel lines. The car was professionally
repainted in approximately 2011, with many new exterior trim pieces
fitted at that time. The fresh powertrain was installed after paint
was completed, and the car has since been stored in the builder's
heated garage. Total mileage on the completed powertrain and
restoration is less than 300 miles.Inside, the car has been fully
redone with new seats, headliner, upholstery, and carpets, along
with a new console. The factory gauge cluster has been retained,
with auxiliary gauges mounted in the new console to monitor
voltage, oil pressure, water temperature, and fuel. Audio is
handled by a modern Retrosound vintage-style head unit that keeps
the dash looking period-correct while adding current
functionality.NFI Empire specializes in classic, exotic, modified,
