“The '69 Camaro is now and forever the most cherished muscle car ever made.” –Car and Driver, August 2011

Car and Driver is far from alone in hailing the 1969 Camaro. Internet automotive site, thedrive.com, weighed in with: “The '69 Camaro is the most loved car in America.” What accounts for this level of passion?

Car and Driver again: “This model year's combination of classic beauty, tidy size, and ample under-hood space makes it a favorite starting point for tuners and collectors. GM vice-president of global design Ed Welburn not only owns one, he all but cloned the '69 Camaro to renew Chevy's fight with the immortal Ford Mustang.” It seems the urge to improve on the late-sixties technology is almost irresistible, because as thedrive.com put it: “… leaving the '69 Camaro in pristine, factory-sealed condition is boring.”

The SS '69 Camaro offered here is a factory-original restoration in Burnished Brown (code 61) exterior paint with a black vinyl roof over a black interior. This is a true option-code X11 original Super Sport. The car's odometer currently shows 89,126 miles or roughly 1,700 miles per-year since new. The quality of the restoration work is absolutely first-class in every respect making it a rare ownership opportunity.

The excellent exterior paint finish is the result of the professional application. The surface is smooth, evenly (and deeply) glossy, with no flaws. The medium-brown metallic color was an excellent choice: understated but elegant, especially so with the vinyl top. The underside of the hood and trunk lid, and all door surfaces are properly painted. (To best assess the quality of the paint and trim finishes, be sure to view the close-up photographs of the car in the accompanying gallery.) Chrome trim—including window and roof-edge surrounds, “ice tray” hood adornments, door handles, grille and taillight trim, rear-fender trim, and both bumpers—is all in excellent condition. Factory-correct badging includes the “SS” emblem in the front grille and another on the rear fascia, Camaro-script badge on the front-left forward of the hood, the “SS” emblem together with the Camaro-script on both front fenders, and the “350” engine badges at the forward edge of the front fenders. The white “hockey stick” side stripes are perfect. Cabin glass and lighting lenses are clear and undamaged. Stock chrome wheels with “SS” center caps are mounted with period-correct Firestone® Wide Oval raised-white-letter performance tires.

Inside, the car's stock appointments have been maintained with all surfaces in virtually like-new condition. Black door trim, for example, is stock and shows no flaws. Front bucket seats—upholstered in black vinyl with a vertically pleated design—retain a like-new appearance free of wear or damage of any sort. The stock, leather-wrapped, 2-spoke, “SS”-branded steering wheel is equally perfect down to its chrome-finished plastic trim. The 120-mph speedometer and 4,700-rpm-redline tachometer are mounted in square frames with an analog clock in between. Four square-design engine-monitoring gauges are mounted at the front edge of the center console. The original AM push-button radio remains mounted, and a rare, factory-installed, forward-facing 8-track tape player (“Bread” cassette included) is also mounted in the center-console armrest. The grab-bar type shift lever for the automatic transmission is also housed in the woodgrain-trimmed center console. Cabin carpeting is black, and the car's trunk appears as it would've when it left the Norwood, Ohio assembly plant. Again, all interior surfaces are virtually as-new in appearance and feel.

Under the hood, the 350-cubic-inch, 300-horsepower Camaro V8 is entirely stock, and like the balance of the car, perfectly restored. The properly labeled chrome air cleaner cover tops the correct Chevy-orange engine block with all wiring and hoses properly routed. Component surfaces throughout the engine bay are spotless. Even factory assembly stickers are present and properly applied. Viewed from below, the car's frame is straight, perfectly clean, undamaged, rust-free, and fully restored.

The Camaro's original build and identification tags remain as mounted at the factory.
