DESCRIPTION
During the 4th week of October in 1969, this Camaro came to life as a V8 powered, powerglide equipped machine in Cortez Silver, with green interior and a black Vinyl top. It was equipped with power steering, power top, and an AM radio, but was a heater delete car sold 1st in Oahu, HI.
Sometime in the 1990, the car was shipped to Sarasota, FL by a retired Military Officer, before the last owner purchased it in 1992.
A solid, clean, and reliable driver, the car was used as a casual Sunday driver, car show and cruise night machine, and led a sheltered life until the owner was struck by the bug to completely restore it, while upgrading as many of the parts and components as he could to create a mild resto-mod that was capable of long-haul cruising as well as the local car show circuit.
After an exhausting few years of getting everything just right, the car was finally unveiled, and has been stored indoors, carefully maintained, and driven only about 5,000 miles. It has proven to be reliable, and a more than capable long-haul machine for that “Route 66” trip you’ve been dreaming about taking.
The exterior refinishing portion of the car was handled by Howard and his team at A-1 in Placida, FL, First, the car was completely stripped to bare metal, media blasted, treated with a light coating of OSPHO, and sprayed with epoxy primer. Then, it was block sanded and hand-worked to seamless perfection before being treated to carefully sprayed DAYTONA YELLOW (69 GM) from inside out. After the black “SS” stripes were painted on the car, it was treated to a liberal amount of clear before being wet sanded and buffed to perfection.
The finish still shows phenomenally well, and save for a handful or two truly minor blemishes like a tiny stone chip, light scuff, or hairline mark you may find if you start crawling around on your hands and knees, it shows like it was just done.
You might not have caught it, but the prior owner decided he liked the style of the Chevelle SS stripes that ended on the front valance, so he had them done that way instead of the typical off the hood style of the Camaro.
The finish is still glossy, slick, and wet looking, and gleams just as well in the streetlights glow as it does in the sun.
During the build, a new cowl hood was installed and properly fit to the car, along with new front and rear spoilers, and a new convertible top valance panel.
The monochromatic paint scheme really sets the car apart from the rest, and you may notice that the Camaro badging was purposefully left off the car for a cleaner look.
A new front windshield was installed, to match the rest of the clean and undamaged glass on the car, along with new weather stripping, brushes, and regulators.
All new rubber weather seals throughout the car remain clean and supple to this day, and seal her up like King Tut’s crypt.
All of the bright work and chrome trim is in very good condition, and looks amazing on the car.
A new custom made German Canvas top was installed after the hydraulic rams, oil pump, lines, and switchgear were replaced or renewed. It goes up and down with ease, and has no known issues.
A new parade boot is included, and has only been on the car a handful of times. It comes complete with its own storage bag.
Lights all function as they should, and are in exceptional condition.
Wiring was redone throughout the car when it was completely torn apart, and everything electrical functions as it should without issue.
Open the hood, and you are met by a completely fresh-built 350ci V8 motor that was a bare block build done at VAMS, Venice Automotive Machine Shop.
The donor block is a 4-bolt main unit that came from a 1978 Chevrolet El Camino, and after it was completely disassembled, the block was stripped and clean, the engine was bored, all new internals installed, and it was tuned to run on modern pump gas with a 9:1 compression ratio.
New pistons, rings, heads, Wolverine cam with a slightly over stock lift, Melling Hi-Volume oil pump, aluminum water pump, aluminum Edelbrock intake manifold, left hand dipstick, new starter, plugs, plug wires, rotor, Mallory ignition system, Hedman headers, and a brand new 750cfm Holley vacuum secondary carb…basically everything needed on an engine was replaced, and now has less than about 5,000 miles on it since completion.
The stock GM POWERGLIDE transmission was completely rebuilt by Bob’ Performance Transmission in Venice with 2,400 stall converter, and all new internals and hardware.
The car fires right up with a turn of the key, idles clean with just a slight burble from the aftermarket cam, and is ready to roll wherever you want to go.
Snick the transmission into gear, and the car has MORE than enough power off the line to spin the tires and scare the neighbors. Wind it out, and the mild shift kit puts you into high gear where the only thing stopping you is the floor board and Johnny Law! The car flat out HAULS on the highway, and really can stretch out on those long cruises.
It does not run hot, and is fully capable of a day trip, as I took it to the other coast of Florida for a car show, and it handled the 430 mile round-trip without any issues at all.
The chassis was completely redone as well, with all new suspension pieces from JUST SUSPENSION installed throughout. This includes upper and lower ball joints, control arm bushings, sway bar and stabilizer link ends, inner and out tie rods and ends, new coil springs up front, new leaf springs out back, K-Y-B Performance shocks all around, and hand-fabricated sub frame connecters welded in place.
In addition, the front brakes were replaced with a full power disc kit with new spindles, rotors, calipers, pads, power booster, and master cylinder. Rear drums were completely rebuilt with new shoes, wheel cylinders, and E-Brake cable.
All of the brake lines, fittings, and junctions were replaced with new units as well.
Because of all that, the car rides like a dream, and stops on a dime without issue.
Handling is crisp and clean, and the car tracks straight as an arrow at any speed.
Braking is smooth, sure, and aggressive, and the car scrubs off speed without any odd pulling, wander, excess fade, or issues.
There are NO noises from the chassis. In fact, it is so quite that it is almost unsettling! All old cars are supposed to squeak, so after 18 years of expecting it, it is strange not to!
The floor pans are in exceptional condition from front to back, and only have the lightest coat of rust preventative on them so you can still see that it is all metal, and it is all clean.
They even made sure to replicate just a touch of the “factory overspray” to make it look original!
There are NO signs of rust, rot, patched in sections, or anything else. Just a clean undercarriage.
A complete new exhaust system was installed from the Hedman headers back, with a crossover set-up, polished SS Magna Flow mufflers, and polished stainless steel tips. It sounds fantastic, and has the perfect mix of burble, bark, and tone to make driving pleasant at any speed.
Inside, the whole car was treated to a layer of sound and heat proof matting before being treated to brand new carpeting, and a firewall interior heat shield.
The custom upholstery follows the 1969 Camaro DELUXE pattern, but the inserts are all cloth. Unique upholstery of Venice handled the entire thing from soup to nuts, and the end result is a stunning, clean, and simple interior that won’t get dated 20 years down the road like some upholstery jobs do.
It is all clean, undamaged, and has no sign of any tears, worn spots, stains, or issues.
Dash is clean, has no cracks or damage, and is supple to the touch.
Visors are clean, in excellent condition, and work like they should. The mounts are original, and show a bit of light patina and age.
Astro-Ventilation on each side of the car still works like it should, and the custom kick panels were designed with the lever action controls in mind.
The left gauge pod houses the working speedometer with functional odometer. It currently shows 32,372 miles, but the car is sold as mileage exempt on the title.
Right gauge pod house the working fuel gauge, and the heater delete plate was custom fitted with AutoMeter gauges for the WATER TEMP and OIL PRESSURE, which both work as they should.
The transmission tunnel holds the AutoMeter Monster Sport tachometer, which functions as it should.
Light switch works, as do the dash lights.
Windshield wiper switch works.
Power top switch works.
Ashtray opens as it should, and holds a 12V cigar light that appears to have never been used.
Glove box is clean, undamaged, locks, and has a liner.
Billet knobs top the shift and signal arms.
A GRANT 4-spoke Mahogany wood steering wheel looks fantastic in the car.
Lokar supplied the gas pedal, and the factory GM brake pedal looks great too.
Carpeting is OEM style, looks fantastic, and shows no damage or staining. It is covered with factory style floor mats front and rear for protection.
Trunk is clean, fully painted, rust free, and covered with a factory mat that is in very good condition. It houses the custom speaker boxes for the stereo.
A full car cover is included with the car, and resides in the trunk along with a handful of part and repair manuals the prior owner left with the car.
Trunk seal, like all of the weather stripping, is in excellent condition, and seals up correctly.
This is an extremely nice example of a Camaro convertible, and was an original V8 car as well.
According to the HAGERTY VALUE TREND VEHICLE INDEX, the car is valued as follows, and has had a slow and steady value growth over the past 5 year period.
Condition #1 = $56,700.00
These vehicles are the best in the world. The visual image is of the best car, in the right colors, driving onto the lawn at the finest concours. Perfectly clean, the car has been groomed down to the tire treads. Painted and chromed surfaces are mirror-like. Dust and dirt are banned, and materials used are correct and superbly fitted. The one word description for #1 cars is "concours."
Condition #2 = $43,900.00
These cars could win a local or regional show. They can be former #1 cars that have been driven or have aged. Seasoned observers will have to look closely for flaws, but will be able to find some not seen by the general public. The paint, chrome, glass and interior will all appear as excellent. No excessive smoke will be seen on startup, no unusual noises will emanate from the engine compartment. The vehicle will drive as a new car of its era would. The one word description for #2 cars is "excellent."
Condition #3 = $35,000.00
Cars in this classification could possess some, but not all of the issues of a #4 car, but they will be balanced by other factors such as a fresh paint job or a new, correct interior. #3 cars drive and run well, but might have some incorrect parts. These cars are not used for daily transportation but are ready for a long tour without excuses, and the casual passerby will not find any visual flaws. "Good" is the one word description of a #3 car.
Condition #4 = $25,000.00
These cars are daily drivers, with major flaws visible to the naked eye. The chrome might have pitting or scratches, the windshield might be chipped. Paintwork is imperfect, and perhaps the fender has a minor dent. The interior could have split seams or a cracked dash. No major parts are missing, but the wheels could differ from the originals, or the interior might not be stock. A #4 car can also be a deteriorated restoration. "Fair" is the one word that describes a #4 car.
I have priced the car accordingly to its condition, and feel strongly that these affordable American Classic’s will continue the steady rise in value and investment return in the next 5 year cycle.
In the area? Come see it. If not, fly down here for a personal showing! I am willing to bet that the first person who comes here to see it in person will buy it.
The title is in the dealerships name, and this is NOT a consignment car.
IT IS TITLED AS A 1969 CAMARO CNV MILEAGE WILL SHOW EXEMPT ON TITLE.
I think that about does it so far as information I can supply to you. As stated, I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE a private viewing of the vehicle, or you can have an appraiser/inspector come see on your behalf PRIOR TO BIDDING.
