If you like to driveand#44; small block Camaros are what you want. Cars like this 1969 Chevrolet Camaro are nicely balancedand#44; with great handling and acceleration that still intimidates other drivers on the streetand#44; all without the fuel economy penalty of a big block. This fresh-looking hardtop offers all the virtues and few of the vices of an early F-body. Repainted recentlyand#44; this SS sparkles. The Lemans Blue finish is a great choice today as much as it was in 1969and#44; when it was second only to Hugger Orange in popularity. Somehow this one looks longer and sleekerand#44; perhaps due to the gray SS stripes that are less harsh than the usual black or whiteand#44; or maybe its the stanceand#44; which is more road race than quarter mile. It proudly wears 350 badges on the front fendersand#44; along with the requisite SS emblems on all four sides. A cowl induction hoodand#44; chin and deck lid spoilersand#44; and the perfect stance give it a performance look that works. Finish quality is quite good and the 1969 Camaro sheetmetal doesnt tolerate sloppy workmanship with that sharp crease running along its flanksand#44; so this one looks pretty darned good in the flesh. Shiny chrome bumpersand#44; quarter panel insertsand#44; and polished stainless window trim all add some glitter that sparkles against the Lemans Blue paint. A black interior in a Lemans Blue car is perhaps the best possible combinationand#44; and with nice-looking seat coversand#44; clean door panelsand#44; bright wood appliques throughoutand#44; and carpets that look freshand#44; the interior is ready to rock. Even what GM called the standard setup was pretty stylishand#44; and with a center console and that horseshoe shifterand#44; the Camaro becomes a pretty nice place to spend some quality time. It may seem strange to usand#44; but even the SS models didnt get a tach or auxiliary gauges as standard equipmentand#44; so this one has the basics plus a pair of auxiliary gauges under the dash. The original AM radio is goneand#44; replaced by a digital AM/FM unit and the original Astro-Ventilation is still in place and still effective. The trunk is fitted with a correct mat and spatter-finish paint. The reason I like this Camaro is the 350 cubic inch V8 up frontand#44; which is hundreds of pounds lighter than a big blockand#44; improving handling and braking in a big way without a major sacrifice in acceleration. With an Edelbrock 4-barrel carb and intake up topand#44; HEI ignitionand#44; Z/28 style finned aluminum valve coversand#44; and some Chevy Orange paintand#44; it looks every bit the part of a hi-po bowtie. Its not shiny and perfect but a deep cleaning would pay big dividends because the basics are excellent. Long-tube headers and a new dual exhaust system give it a great V8 rumble that few other engines can matchand#44; as well as a fat torque curve. The TH350 3-speed automatic transmission snaps off shifts like rifle shots and the 10-bolt out back is built to take it. The front end appears to have been lowered to get that awesome stanceand#44; although the 17-inch wheels and 215/50/17 front and 225/55/17 rear performance radials certainly help in that regard. If youve been looking for a great early Camaroand#44; try bending this SS350 into a corner before making your decision. Youll love the way it feels! Call today. |
