1969 Chevrolet Camaro for sale $149,900

We sell a lot of custom cars and theyre all well done. Every once in a while though we come across one that belongs in the best of section of our superlative collection. Weve even had a pair of Ridler great 8s - we know fantastic when we see it. This amazing 69 Camaro SS/RS more than qualifies: If it didnt knock down a show trophy either they werent handing them out or the car stayed home. This is a no excuses perfectly executed show titan with enough hardware and custom touches to leave you speechless!

BODYWORK/TRIM

Stand outside and look at the mint and deceptively stock looking body. Chevrolet Torch Red is the color covering the absolutely top level bodywork. Many show cars have perfect paint but what separates this car from the rest is in the details. Start with the fog lights in the factory turn signal location. ZL1 cars had a simple cowl induction hood while SS cars came with chrome louvers - Watsons combined the two seamlessly. Convertibles all have tops but not all convertibles use German Haartz cloth. Out back other cars may use sequential LED taillights but this cars are frenched in as are the exhaust pipe notches in the rear valance. Check out the notched spoiler with its integrated third brake light too. This cars color grabs you immediately but theres so much going on that your eyes need a fourth and fifth take! Obviously on a car of this caliber every piece of chrome and stainless trim is near perfect - did it even need to be brought up?

ENGINE

Look between the fenders and youll find an impressive engine that right after its construction took home three awards. The HUGE news here is the very rare and desirable GMPP ZL1 aluminum 427 block. The modern day ZL1 is built on the original tooling of the legendary race engine and installing one here is the perfect way to honor those select few track terrors released in 1969. A GMPP steel crank H beam rods and forged JE pistons swing around working with big aluminum Dart Pro 1 heads to offer up 10.5:1 compression. Trick part #2 is on top - that ultra cool Hilborn injection manifold converted to EFI with custom fuel rails and tuning by American Speed in Moline IL. No other manifold from the 60s screams power like those stacks and theyre simply unbeatable when highly polished and plated! Comp Cams supplied an appropriately racy roller cam and lifter set while MSD was tapped for ignition duties. A fully polished Vintage Air Front Runner A/C and pulley set up dresses the front of the mill while a Be Cool radiator and twin SPAL fans keep everything cool. Moon polished and painted valve covers work with Jet Hot-coated headers to finish off the look. Dropping that motor within standard wheelhouses wouldnt be right though so the cars body shop Watsons Hot Rod Shop fabbed up the trick inner fenders fully shaved firewall and core support panels. This list is by no means comprehensive - youll have to spend an hour or two in here to find most of the details!

DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION

Unreal hardware is underneath - world beating show cars dont stop with pretty paint. Wayne Doe supplied one of his trick tubular front subframes set up for adjustable Ridetech coil-overs C5 running gear with power rack and pinion steering Delrin/aluminum bushings and Wilwood polished four piston calipers and 12 rotors. Out back Watsons fabbed in the rear half of the C5s independent suspension cut down for this car and aided by Heim joints high durometer bushings and
