From the priceand#44; you might think this is a nice Camaro with a replacement engine or a crate motor. Guess again. This is a real-deal 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS396 with its numbers-matching L34 396/350and#44; a 4-speedand#44; and Hugger Orange paint. Need we go on? Given that pedigree and the quality of the paint job on this carand#44; were guessing it wont sit in the showroom for long. Code 72 Hugger Orange is this cars original color and not too long ago it received a very high-quality paint job that matches the original high-visibility hue exactly. They took no liberties with the lookand#44; which means an original-style hood with chrome inserts and hockey-stick SS stripes that are the least common but arguably the most appealing on these cars. Theres a fantastic shine to the finish that suggests a lot of time on the bodywork underneath as well as on the final surface. Panel fit is pretty good all aroundand#44; not perfectand#44; but then againand#44; this car should cost $10and#44;000 more than it doesand#44; so small flaws are all we can find. A blacked-out SS grilleand#44; appropriate badges all aroundand#44; a chin spoilerand#44; and a ducktail spoiler out back are all familiar pieces of the Camaro look and Hugger Orange always works. The blacked-out tail panel was only found on big block cars and this one wears it legitimately. If you want to get noticedand#44; few cars do it better than this Camaro! The black bucket seat interior is standard Camaro fareand#44; with reproduction seat covers that look rightand#44; a three-spoke steering wheeland#44; and nice-looking door panels. The console carries auxiliary gauges and theres a correct AC tach in the dashand#44; both optional even on the SSand#44; and the Muncie 4-speed is managed by a Hurst shifter. The woodgrained accents add a little contrast to the monochromatic interiorand#44; and its ideally set up for the serious work of driving. The factory AM/FM radio is in the dashand#44; but the presence of the big subwoofer enclosure in the trunk and a pair of powerful speakers on the rear package shelf suggests that an upgrade would be very easy. By 1969 headrests were mandatory and they make the interior look racyand#44; and this car includes seat belts throughoutand#44; a nice bonus that a lot of old cars omit. The aforementioned trunk has a reproduction trunk mat in place with no surprises waiting underneath. This is the cars originaland#44; numbers-matching L34 396 cubic inch V8and#44; which is rated at a robust 350 horsepower. Docile enough to drive in traffic but still seriously fastand#44; its the one you want in a Camaro youre going to drive. Theres a big Quadrajet on top and a correct intake manifold to help with authenticity. A few chrome pieces in the right placesand#44; reproduction decals on the air cleanerand#44; and correct tower hose clamps on reproduction hoses give it an authentic look. It starts easily and runs great with a big hit of big block torque at any speed. Theres also a recent alternatorand#44; radiatorand#44; and exhaust system with throaty mufflers that sound exactly right. The 4-speed Muncie snaps through the gears feeding a 12-bolt rear end that plants power though a pair of traction bars on the leaf springs. Correct Rally wheels wear 235/60/14 front and 245/60/14 rear BFGoodrich T/A radials that really stuff the fenders. This isnt a trailer queen and it isnt designed to earn trophies. It doesand#44; howeverand#44; have an awesome pedigree and delivers that big block performance thats still legendary today. Call now! |
