The 1969 Chevrolet Camaro is easily one of the most popular vehicles in the collector car world and you would be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn't at least appreciate the sporty styling of last year of the first-generation Camaros. The body style was a unique one-year offering and Chevrolet really knocked it out of the park with the design of this car that still remains current today, so much so that the sixth generation of Chevrolet's Ponycar was a modern re-imagination of the 1969 Camaro's classic design cues. Featured here is a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro that has been treated to a tasteful and fully functional resto-mod that will be sure to turn heads as it cruises the boulevard.
The custom metallic orange paint is well applied over professionally executed bodywork. The finish has been polished to a deep luster as has all the stainless window trim and rear bumper chrome. The door handles and factory emblems have been shaved for a cleaner look and a custom ground effects package nicely compliments the classic lines on this Camaro. A factory rear deck spoiler maintains the stock feel while the C-5 taillights are a nod to the modern era F-body cars. Upfront the classic hide-away headlights have been updated with electric motors and a fiberglass cowl induction hood with a taller scoop adds to the muscularity of this late 60's muscle car. The combination of smaller Mickey Thompson polished aluminum 5-spoke wheels and tires upfront with larger matching M/T wheels and tires out back really contributes to the menacing stance of this Chevrolet.
Inside the interior is completely custom, having been designed and built by renowned Southwest Michigan restoration shop, All Speed Customs. A full roll cage is in place and has been painted to match the exterior paint. The large rear wheel tubs pretty much render the rear seating useless and the area has been re-purposed for storage and to house the rear speakers. This clever theme continues in the trunk compartment with handmade compartments for additional storage and provide access to the fuel cell and the battery which has been relocated to the trunk space. Upfront, custom-covered racing seats feature leather upholstery with diamond-patterned suede inserts and 5-point racing harness belts. A molded dash insert is painted body color and houses a full set of AutoMeter Ultra-Lite gauges and is framed by a Billet Specialties three-spoke steering wheel sitting atop a tilt steering column. The door panels are custom built and the dash pad has been wrapped in leather. The center console is custom-fabricated and houses the B&M Mega-Star Shifter, featuring a leather shifter boot. The console further features billet power window switches, Vintage Air controls, Alpine stereo AM/FM/CD player, and custom cup holders, one important detail Chevrolet engineers left out in 1969!
Under the hood has been artfully appointed with many custom touches. The firewall and inner fender wells have been smoothed and painted to match the body color and is complimented by a hand-fabricated radiator filler panel that keeps the cold air directed into the aluminum radiator with electric fans. The Chevrolet Performance 502cid big block V8 features a polished Ram Jet fuel injection system and a set of fabricated polished aluminum valve covers that add to the shine under the hood. Further touches include a March serpentine pulley system and braided hose with billet hood hinges supporting the fully detailed cowl induction hood. Needless to say, this engine compartment is detailed and ready to show at your local cruise in.
Underneath, this chassis is fully detailed with the floors and rear subframe painted body color. The front suspension has been upgraded to tubular A-arms with coil-over springs and shocks with a Hotchkiss HD stabilizer bar. A quick-ratio power steering box allows for more accurate turning and a shortened turning ratio. The 550hp from the big V8 is transferred through a GM 400 Turbo-Hydramatic 3-speed automatic transmission to a Dana 44 differential with 4.11:1 gears. This shortened rearend is supported by a four-link suspension with a Panhard bar and coil-over suspension mounted to a hand-fabricated rear subframe that ties into the front factory subframe. Wilwood four-wheel power disc brakes help bring this street rocket to a halt. A polished aluminum fuel cell fits between the rear rails running the fuel through custom bent stainless-steel fuel lines up to the motor vie intake electric fuel pump. This car sounds amazing with a throaty sound coming from a stainless steel 3"" Pypes exhaust with Sound-Pro mufflers.
This car looks fast sitting still, and once you fire it up it sounds fast as it rumbles through the tailpipes, so as they say if it looks like a ""duck"" and it sounds like a ""duck"", well you get the picture! Please call if interested or e-mail with specific questions. Thank you for looking.
