Youve been promising yourself that youd get around to building that Camaro you always wantedand#44; but times a-wastin. Why not simply buy a finished one thats already done just the way you want it? This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS tribute looks fantastic in Fathom Greenand#44; carries a cool twist on your favorite houndstooth interiorand#44; as well as a sweet-running small block and manual transmission. Why wait? The trim tag says this one was originally Frost Greenand#44; but during the repaintand#44; it got a great coat of Fathom Greenand#44; which is darker and more dramatic. Prep and final finish are quite goodand#44; but no so perfect youll be afraid to drive it and the subtle color will definitely make it stand out. Few cars look better in dark colors than a first-generation Camaroand#44; and they didnt do much to change the already awesome factory look. That means an original-style hood with chrome insertsand#44; a subtle chin spoilerand#44; andand#44; of courseand#44; the famous ducktail spoiler out back. White Z/28-style stripes are practically mandatoryand#44; and they were expertly applied to give it a very correct look. The blacked-out SS grille works with the overall color scheme and the stainless and chrome trim is in excellent shapeand#44; glittering against the dark green bodywork. A black vinyl top adds a touch of formalityand#44; and its a subtle feature that works rather welland#44; especially with the tinted rear window. This car keeps things pretty stock insideand#44; tooand#44; with beautiful bucket seats wearing reproduction dark green seat covers with houndstooth inserts. One of GMs better ideasand#44; the stylish cloth inserts look both upscale and sporty at the same timeand#44; and the contrast with the green vinyl upholstery is a neat twist. A factory center console houses the 4-speed and there are auxiliary gauges under the dash in the usual locationand#44; but there are really no drastic modifications inside. The front seats show some minor signs of useand#44; but the back seat looks completely unused and the carpets are in excellent condition all around. A newer AM/FM/cassette stereo radio has been installedand#44; but it fits right and sounds decent. The trunks been restoredand#44; tooand#44; including a snug-fitting reproduction mat and a spare tire with jack assembly. The 350 cubic inch V8 is what every SS wanted to have when it grew up. Not quite stockand#44; it still looks right under the hood with its bright Chevy Orange paint and chrome accents. It lights off easily thanks to a 4-barrel Holley carburetor and Edelbrock aluminum intake manifoldand#44; a combination that was perfected decades agoand#44; and the open-element air cleaner ensure its getting plenty of air. Other chrome details include the water pumpand#44; alternatorand#44; and bracketryand#44; so it has a bit of glitter to match the performance lookand#44; and power front disc brakes are a nice find on a car that runs this well. A Muncie M21 4-speed manual drives a stout 12-bolt rear and long-tube headers feed a dual exhaust system with mellow-sounding mufflers that never get annoying on the highway. Factory-style SS wheels are fitted and wear 225/70/15 Goodyear Eagle radials for a timeless muscle car look. Cleanand#44; straightand#44; streetable Camaros arent usually affordableand#44; but this one offers a great balance of performanceand#44; looksand#44; and price. If youre tired of sitting on the sidelinesand#44; this is the car that can get you into the game in a very big way. Call now! |
