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 workand#44; you couldnt hope to duplicate it for the asking price. With all the modern conveniencesand#44; including fuel injectionand#44; overdriveand#44; and A/Cand#44; its also a car you can drive anywhere in total comfort. The color is pretty close to Marina Blueand#44; and it quite appropriately seems to scream off the sheetmetal. Its so luscious that it looks like you could dip your finger in it because its still wetand#44; and it shines up beautifully. Its driver-gradeand#44; but thats on purpose because it wasnt designed to sit around and collect trophiesand#44; it was built to drive. No major body mods aside from the cowl-induction hoodand#44; but youd have to be crazy to think you can make a 1969 Camaro look better than this. The bodywork is extremely niceand#44; sharp enough to wear that high-visibility paint with easeand#44; 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 thats especially effective and all the requisite SS badges and features have been installedand#44; 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 interiorand#44; which is quite nicely done in simple black vinyl. Everything is newand#44; of courseand#44; and looks extremely tidy and well-executedand#44; and a custom center console augments the originaland#44; adding a pair of cup holders and a useful armrest. The OEM center console with a horseshoe shifter remains the coolest gear selector in historyand#44; and theres 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 yesand#44; 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 youll 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 systemand#44; Edelbrock intake manifoldand#44; MSD ignitionand#44; and a mild cam insideand#44; it snarls and barks like a caged animaland#44; yet is docile enough to drive every day. The engine bay is nicely finished with a combination of stock and aftermarket partsand#44; all of which have been shined up and carefully installed. A big aluminum radiator keeps tabs on the temperaturesand#44; and it offers both power brakes and power steering. The transmission is now a 200R4 4-speed automatic overdriveand#44; so its an incredible highway cruiser with lightning-quick reflexes on the streets and theres a bulletproof 12-bolt rear end that was recently rebuilt. The underside is finished in basic black and a lot of the equipment is newand#44; including the exhaust system and gas tank. Correct Rally wheels are fitted with 235/60/15 BFG radialsand#44; which complete the resto-mod look. Beautifully built and impressively fastand#44; this is a no-compromises early Camaro that really can do it all. Call today! |
