Vehicle Description
Just another Camaro you say? Guess again! This nicely built
resto-mod 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS 350 hardtop is the kind of car
everyone at the local cruise night stops to admire and given the
quality of the work, you couldn't hope to duplicate it for the
asking price. With all the modern conveniences, including fuel
injection, overdrive, and A/C, it's also a car you can drive
anywhere in total comfort.
The color is pretty close to Marina Blue, and it quite
appropriately seems to scream off the sheetmetal. It's so luscious
that it looks like you could dip your finger in it because it's
still wet, and it shines up beautifully. It's driver-grade, but
that's on purpose because it wasn't designed to sit around and
collect trophies, it was built to drive. No major body mods aside
from the cowl-induction hood, but you'd have to be crazy to think
you can make a 1969 Camaro look better than this. The bodywork is
extremely nice, sharp enough to wear that high-visibility paint
with ease, and shows off the kind of attention to detail that
separates the good cars from the great ones. White Z/28 stripes
lend it a performance look that's especially effective and all the
requisite SS badges and features have been installed, from the
blacked-out grille to the gills in the quarter panels. Is it a real
SS or RS? Does it matter? This car is way too cool to worry about
things like that. You just have to embrace what it is today.
The same goes for the interior, which is quite nicely done in
simple black vinyl. Everything is new, of course, and looks
extremely tidy and well-executed, and a custom center console
augments the original, adding a pair of cup holders and a useful
armrest. The OEM center console with a horseshoe shifter remains
the coolest gear selector in history, and there's some
convincing-looking faux wood that warms things up a bit. Auxiliary
gauges give a complete look at the hot small block under the hood
and yes, this is a factory A/C car where the system still blows ice
cold thanks to restored hardware working behind the scenes.
Entertainment comes from an AM/FM radio that uses new front
speakers to deliver the sound. Open the deck lid and you'll also
find a correctly restored trunk with a reproduction mat and
matching spare tire assembly.
But the real reason this Camaro is special is the 350 cubic inch V8
under the hood. Fitted with a new FAST electronic fuel injection
system, Edelbrock intake manifold, MSD ignition, and a mild cam
inside, it snarls and barks like a caged animal, yet is docile
enough to drive every day. The engine bay is nicely finished with a
combination of stock and aftermarket parts, all of which have been
shined up and carefully installed. A big aluminum radiator keeps
tabs on the temperatures, and it offers both power brakes and power
steering. The transmission is now a 200R4 4-speed automatic
overdrive, so it's an incredible highway cruiser with
lightning-quick reflexes on the streets and there's a bulletproof
12-bolt rear end that was recently rebuilt. The underside is
finished in basic black and a lot of the equipment is new,
including the exhaust system and gas tank. Correct Rally wheels are
fitted with 235/60/15 BFG radials, which complete the resto-mod
look.
Beautifully built and impressively fast, this is a no-compromises
early Camaro that really can do it all. Call today!
