Vehicle Description
Yes, you're looking at a real-deal 1969 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS pace
car. But it's not just code Z11 on the trim tag that makes this one
so desirable. With the original 350 V8, four-on-the-floor, and all
the great colors still looking so bold, this is a rare classic that
has been given all the respect it deserves.
The fact that these are perhaps the most outrageous looking of the
'69 Camaros is not an accident. Pace cars have always been
attention-grabbing machines, and the inverted Dover White with
Hugger Orange stripes gives them a unique look that's recognizable
from the Goodyear blimp. Plus, all the desirable features are in
place, including the RS hidden headlights, cowl hood, and the
Hugger Orange pinstripes highlighting the fender lines. And of
course, it's great to have the pace car livery affixed just in case
people didn't realize this was an exceptionally rare Camaro
(Chevrolet only built 3,675 examples, barely enough to give half of
their dealer network one car.) And even the details are right on
this Camaro - everything from the mirror-like thin chrome bumpers
to the Rally wheels with center caps.
Beneath the pristine white folding top is the orange houndstooth
interior - a color combo unique to these models. The bold orange
bucket seats, door panels, and boot cover, as well as darker
elements such as the dash and other main components are suspected
to be original. And if so, there exceptional condition is more
evidence of a life well lived. This is why it's such a treat to get
inside. The factory two-spoke steering wheel gives you a clear view
of the factory gauges that includes the very desirable tach. Plus,
while pace cars were an expensive rarity, not every one came with
desirable features like the center console with a stick shift and
iconic quad auxiliary gauges.
The under the hood is the original, numbers-matching 350 cubic inch
V8. This L48 powerplant came rated from the factory at 300
horsepower, which made it the most powerful small block of it time.
And because you're going to spend a lot of time showing off this
Camaro, the engine bay is ready to be showcased. It looks
factory-correct with all the right pieces, including the Chevy
orange on the black & valve covers, and there's even the rubber
gasket around the air grabber for the proper cowl induction hood.
And while this is a valuable classic, you'll want to hit the open
road all the time thanks to the control of the original Muncie M20
four-speed and the throaty sounds from the dual exhaust. Plus, with
features such as power steering, front disc brakes, and the grip of
BF Goodrich tires, this is the perfect way to grab attention near
or far.
This pace car is exceptionally authentic right down to the trunk
mat. It's an irresistible vintage treat that you rarely find in
this condition or these options. So if you promised yourself the
best Camaro around, don't miss this opportunity. Call today!!!
