This is a bonafide piece of muscle car royalty. The Chevrolet Camaro is up there with Ford’s Mustang and the Dodge Charger as icons of the 1960s – desirable, usable, and rapid pieces of 60s Americana. This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS is presented in a ‘better-than-new’ condition, having been restored and upgraded to concours condition. Resplendent in red bodywork, with a cream leather interior, ‘VBY 466E’ has a brand-new Chevrolet 327 V8 engine, including electronic fuel injection and overhauled electrics to ensure it starts first time, every time. The steering system has been upgraded with power steering fitted, and a detachable sports steering wheel, while the suspension has been fettled too, featuring new coil-over springs for improved handling. Brakes have been improved to cope with the Carmaro SS’s greater performance, as well as a new brake servo, sports radiator, and air filter. Inside, the cabin has been treated to sumptuous cream leather with black piping, as well as new seat foam, door cards, dashboard, and centre console, with a Bluetooth-enabled premium Audison stereo fitted. In all, more than £20, 000 has been spent improving this Camaro SS, which only has covered only 1, 000 miles since the rebuild, offering buyers a ‘new’ classic experience.
Concerned at the runaway success of Ford’s pony car, the ubiquitous Mustang, General Motors brought the first-generation Camaro to market in the September of 1966. It was based on a new rear-wheel drive platform and shared both that and a variety of other major components with the Pontiac Firebird. The 2+2 was available as a two-door coupe or convertible and came with a choice of no less than six powerplants, from a 4. 1-litre straight six to a 6. 5-litre V8, and three trim and tuning packages – RS, SS and Z28.
In summary:
· Completely restored and improved-upon example
· True American muscle car power with a new Chevrolet 327 V8
· New suspension, brakes, and interior complete concours-level Camaro SS
