1969 Chevrolet Camaro Cutaway "Double Header Car" - Displayed At Major Auto Shows In Period

One of only two known 1969 Chevrolet Camaro cutaway promotional cars, this extraordinary 'Double Header' show car was created by General Motors to showcase the new 1969 Camaro at major auto shows. Used as an innovative promotional display, the car featured two interchangeable front ends, allowing spectators to witness the transformation between a base six-cylinder Camaro and an RS/SS 350 V8 model at the push of a button.
Built using the 24th Camaro off the assembly line, this remarkable factory promotional tool retains its mostly original LeMans Blue paint, first-day-of-production body and unique cutaway construction. The body was designed to raise and rotate on a series of three turntables, revealing the different drivetrain configurations while providing an unobstructed view of the Camaro's mechanical components and interior. The car also features a highly optioned configuration, originally designed to showcase the popular equipment available to buyers in 1969.
Remarkably, this Camaro is documented with just 2.4 actual miles, making it one of the lowest-mileage 1969 Camaros known. Preserved privately and away from the public eye for 52 years, the car retains many of its original display components, including control circuitry mounted in the trunk area and behind the front valance panel. The heavily reinforced trunk floor was specifically engineered to support the body during the raising and rotating process. The original doors were removed to allow auto show spectators an unobstructed view of the interior, while the original GM cutaway V8 and straight-six engines were designed to rotate electrically, demonstrating their internal mechanical functions.
In keeping with its historical significance, the Camaro has been preserved with an emphasis on originality including most of its original paint. With the Camaro are original GM Show and Display Department blueprints, wiring schematics, period photographs from various auto shows, and also accompanied by Camaro Hi-Performance Certification.
An extraordinary piece of General Motors promotional history, this 'Double Header' Camaro represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most unique and innovative factory show cars ever created, preserved with its original character and accompanied by important documentation from its period as a Chevrolet auto show display.
