1969 Chevy Camaro RS/SS
This car was completely rebuilt from the ground up; all GM parts used or original were utilized.
We do not know what motor came in this car originally as it was gone when the car was found.
The motor in it is a date coded correct to a 1969 RS/SS Camaro. The transmission is a 400
Turbo, the rear end is a 12-bolt posi 4:10 gears. This car was a true barn find; it was parked in
1976 and sat until it was found in 2004. The car had minor damage to the front right corner. The
car had rust in the floor, quarter panels and doors. The car had to have the right front fender,
both quarter panels, both rear inner fenders, lower trunk extensions, trunk lid, floor pans and
both doors replaced due to rust. Both doors were replaced from donor cars, the right front inner
fender, right fender, the hood, the front upper and lower valance, grille and all headlight
components were replaced. Have most receipts from restorations and it was a 4-year long
process and over 300 hours on body and paint alone. This is not a numbers matching car but it
is a number correct one. The motor has the right date code, the intake, exhaust manifold,
carburetor, fuel pump, thermostat housing and engine were rebuilt to stock specs. This is a nice
car and a lot of time and effort was spent building it as close to stock as possible. Vacuum
hideaway headlights were replaced with electric from Detroit Speed.
This car was built by Larry Payne, body work and paint done at Hoeft Auto Restorations in
Garland, NE. Restorations also done at Unique Auto Inc. in Omaha, NE.
