If I had to pick one car that will always be in demandand#44; it would be the 1969 Camaro. This particular 69and#44; howeverand#44; is altogether more desirable thanks to a cool color combinationand#44; high-quality buildand#44; and a brutal DART 427 under the hood. The best-looking of the pony cars with one of the nastiest motors ever built? Yes please! Burgundy paint on a Camaro isnt very common these daysand#44; what with everyone going with Hugger Orangeand#44; but nobodys going to complain when they hear this sucker come rumbling in. It was originally code 71 Le Mans Blueand#44; but youve already seen a bunch of thoseand#44; making this one a little out of the ordinary and very sophisticated-looking. Body gaps are trimand#44; the panels line up like they shouldand#44; and the contrasting black hockey stick decals were installed with precision. You can see the quality from 20 feet awayand#44; both in the dazzling shine of the two-stage urethane and the way the speed lines coming off the fenders slash through the fenders and doorsand#44; and a professional cut and buff would really make this one sparkle like a show piece. A cowl-induction hood is a standard feature on the fastest Camarosand#44; so its not out of place hereand#44; and the usual ducktail spoiler lives out back. Shiny stuff really glitters against the burgundy paintand#44; so the bumpers were polished upand#44; the stainless rocker panel trim and gill inserts look greatand#44; and proper SS badges were installed in the right places. Ohand#44; and lets not forget the 427 badges on the front fendersand#44; an important part of this cars personality. Code 711 on the cowl tag means standard black bucketsand#44; but during the restorationand#44; this upscale F-body received beautiful black and white houndstooth upholsteryand#44; arguably the very best choice in a 69. It makes for a very matureand#44; tasteful look with the burgundy paint. The seat covers look brand newand#44; the carpets are the correct weave and colorand#44; and new door panels are nicely detailed with just a bit of chrome. Theres a much-needed grab handle for the front seat passengerand#44; while the driver wraps his fingers around a standard 3-spoke steering wheel and the trick T-handle shifter. Factory gauges are joined by a full set of aftermarket dials under the dashand#44; which give you a full picture of the big blocks activities. A modern AM/FM radio lives in the dash and the trunk is tidy and cleanand#44; carrying a correct mat and full-sized spare with jack assembly. The engine is a musclebound DART 427 cubic inch V8 crate motor fed by a very trick MSD fuel injection setup thats virtually invisible under the stock-style air cleaner. Its a little flashier than stockand#44; but youll welcome the added chrome bits when youre showing it off at the cruise night. There are aluminum heads on top of a Chevy Orange blockand#44; which help make powerand#44; control heatand#44; and shed weight. Long-tube headers work with a set of Flowmaster mufflers for a spectacular soundtrack that can only come from a 427. A rugged TH350 3-speed automatic transmission doesnt mind the big blocks power and feeds it to a stout 10-bolt rear endand#44; and even if youre not an automatic guyand#44; youre going to be impressed by how quick this car really is. The chassis is in excellent shape without any major upgradesand#44; so its very friendly on the street and handsome Torque Thrust wheels are a great addition and wear staggered 215/65/15 front and 255/60/15 rear tires. This Camaro is one of those cars thats even nicer than you think it is. Fastand#44; beautifuland#44; and nicely finishedand#44; its the 1969 Camaro that everyone should aspire to own. Call today! |
