For Sale: 1969 Chevrolet Camaro in Columbus, Ohio

$139,995

Cruisin Classics is proud and excited to present to you this very special 1969 Z10 Camaro RS/SS. This '69 Camaro Z10 is a rare, high-performance "coupe version" of the Z11 Indy Pace Car. Approximately 400-500 of these cars were built (all by order only) and only around 200 are currently known to exist! They were sold primarily in the Southwest region (TX, OK, NM, AZ), but two are known to have been sold in Tennesee. On paper, the Z10 RPO code represented "Special Accent Striping", but it entailed a great deal more for the car. All of the Z10's feature Dover White paint, Hugger Orange Z/28-style hood and decklid stripes, cowl induction hoods, and both the Rally Sport and Super Sport packages. This particular specimen was produced at the Norwood plant during the third week of April 1969 and underwent a restoration in the late '80's. The car was shown, post-restoration, and garnered some high accolades - top points car at the Camaro, Chevelle, Nova Nationals in 1990, top 25 Grand Run in Pigeon Forge TN in 1990, #2 points car in Camaro class at the 1990 Super Chevy Show, first Z10 coupe to ever be entered into the prestigious judging of the Red White and Blue Concours, and it was invited to be displayed at the Brickyard for a pace car reunion. Let's take a deeper dive into this very rare Camaro....

This Z10 comes to us today dressed in a respray of its correct colors - Oxford White with Hugger Orange stripes. We suspect that the car was painted during the resoration back in the late 80's, and though it looks great from five feet away, a close inspection reveals some lacquer cracking on nearly every body panel. Viewed from the front, you'll see a cowl hood fronted by a "Camaro by Chevrolet" badge on the drivers side, a black eggcrate grille with "SS" badging, working hideaway RS headlights, a bright chrome bumper with (optional) guards, and a black chin spoiler. Move around to the side and you'll see loads of gleaming chrome trim, including windshield trim, drip rail molding, window trim, side mirror, door handles, ornamental rear quarter gills, wheel lip molding, and rocker molding. The front fender wears a "350" badge at the leading edge and "Camaro SS" badging near the door. Hand-painted Hugger Orange pinstriping adorns the bulges of the front fender and the rear quarter. This Camaro sits proudly atop a set of 14" 5-slot grey Rally wheels with center caps and beauty rings, all wearing Goodyear Polyglas F70-14 bias-ply tires - just like it did when new. Around back there's a single-piece decklid spoiler, RS taillights with an "SS" badge at the center, dual exhaust outlets, and another chrome bumper with guards. Take a peek underneath to find an incredibly clean undercarriage with white painted floorpans, dual exhaust, and a newer-looking gas tank.

Lift the cowl hood to expose a clean and detailed stock engine bay that's a testament to the level of care this Camaro has received its whole life. At the center is a 350ci V-8 that has a correct casting number (3956618), cast date (B279=Feb 27, 1969), and HB suffix code ('69 Camaro 350 300hp Automatic Trans), but there is no VIN stamp on the machine pad or the alternate location next to the oil filter. The block is painted orange, and so are the heads, valve covers, intake, and water pump. The hearty V-8 is topped off with a 4-barrel Rochester Quadrajet carburetor (1973 date code) and a correct cowl induction air cleaner assembly with "350 TurboFire 300 Horsepower" decal. Ahead of the block you'll notice that this car is equipped with factory A/C (blows nice & cold) and power steering. You can see the attention paid to all the little details - even things like the correct tower-clamps on the hoses. This Camaro sends power through a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission (dated 7/3/69) to a 12-bolt GM rear axle (dated 4/14/69) with open 3.07:1 gears - very freeway friendly. Stopping power comes courtesy of power front disc and rear drum brakes. Exhaust flows from cast manifolds through a chambered muffler and out the dual exits to produce an aggressive throaty sound that's just perfect for this car.

Prepare to be impressed when you swing open the drivers door! This Z10 has been graced with a gorgeous Ivory and Black interior with woodgrain accents. The white RS door panels are in excellent condition and they feature bright trim pieces and black carpeted bottoms. The star of the interior are the seats - white vinyl with black & white houndstooth inserts - in flawless condition and comfortable too. Separating the front buckets is a center console that's home to a rear seat ashtray, storage box, seat belt holder, and a horseshoe shifter for the automatic transmission. The console is finished off with good-looking woodgrain trim and bright accents. Ahead of the driver is a black 2-spoke steering wheel with woodgrain trim, an "SS" badge, a working horn, and tilt function. The wheel fronts a very nice crack-free black dash that appears to have a newer vinyl padded top. Directly ahead of the wheel theres a 120mph speedometer, a fuel gauge, and warning lights for all the integral systems. The odometer reads 204 miles but the title claims mileage discrepency. Beneath, there are light and wiper controls (working) to the left and what appears to be the original Delco AM radio to the right - both set in woodgrain bezels. The radio plays through a dash speaker and speakers in the kick panels. To the right of the fuel gauge are climate controls that crank out cold A/C and hot heat with a working fan. Ahead of the passenger are an ashtray, glovebox, grab handle, and yet more woodgrain accents. The dome light, rear console light, and the glovebox light work as they should. Overhead are a tight black vinyl headliner and shoulder safety belts while underfoot is high-quality black hook & loop carpet that's kept nice with black rubber floormats. Around back in the trunk are a plaid vinyl mat, a Mini spare with factory jack, and a packet that contains some old photos of the car, the original owners manual, Z10 information, a decoding of the VIN and trim tag, and some notes from previous owners.
