1969 Camaro RS SS 502CI

1969 Camaro RS SS - $85,995.00 - This 1969 Camaro RS/SS was fully restored inside and out. In 2007 the original 396 engine had significant problems that was deemed not worthy of rebuilding, and the owner wanted more horsepower. Hence the owner decided to install a 502ci. Beside the car being completely restored and while the new motor was
being installed a 5 speed transmission was also installed making this car a fun and eye appealing driver. Since the build this car has approximately 3K miles on new motor. Desirable to collectors, the Indianapolis 500 Pace Car Camaro is, like the original with a few modifications, an RS/SS convertible. As is usually the custom with Indy 500 pace cars, 100 examples were built for use by press and dignitaries during 500 Month at the Speedway. A further 3,674 Camaros equipped with the Pace Car were later marketed to the general
public. This car is one of those 3,674. The 1969 Camaro was the last year of the original Camaro package which had been introduced in 1967, and was succeeded by a much larger version in mid-1970. It also was one of the Camaro's most successful years (in part because it was in production for 17 months!) with a total of 243,085 built. More important, the '69 Camaro had GM's usual "we've worked out the bugs by now" quality and an options list that seemed to go on without end. This list included the legendary COPO (Central Office Production Order) Camaros for Don Yenko (iron block 427) and Fred Gibb (ZL1 aluminum block 427). It also was the last year for a Camaro convertible until 1987.

The Z11 Pace Car package consisted of orange stripes and orange/black houndstooth interior and could be ordered with the usual assortment of Camaro options. The Indianapolis cars had 375-hp, 396-cubic-inch engines. and automatic transmissions, in a hopeless attempt to allow them to withstand auto journalist and VIP abuse. The RS (Rallye Sport) package of covered headlights, headlight washers and special taillights and SS (Super Sport) package of upgraded suspension and front disc brakes are important attributes of the package and contribute to its value.

This is a true driver with eye appeal. For more information call 1-800-270-1608 ext.1 or e-mail bfkatz@bjmotors.biz
