Total Camaro production back in 1969 surpassed the 243,000-unit milestone, and for the GM brand, this was quite an achievement.
The output of the new nameplate increased gradually since its debut in 1967, so in 1969, the popularity of the sportier versions, including the Z/28, reached impressive levels.
The base Camaro continued to account for the majority of sales, with over 150,000 units rolling off the assembly lines with the standard treatment. On the other hand, the RS package now made its way to over 37,7000 Camaros, with the SS also becoming more popular and being installed on close to 35,000 cars.
As said, the Z/28 production increased significantly from a little over 7,000 units to no more, no less than 20,000 cars.
The Camaro that eBay seller cuzzieedward has recently posted for auction is nothing more than a base model, but this doesn’t necessarily make it less compelling. And at the right price, it could become a very intriguing candidate for a restomod.
If you’re wondering why we mentioned restomod and not a full restoration to factory specifications, the reason is as simple as it could be: the original engine is no longer there. In other words, the unit that’s now supposed to put the wheels in motion isn’t the engine that was fitted by Chevrolet back in 1969 but a 350 (5.7-liter) donated by another model from the GM brand.
At the same time, it looks like the car has already gone through some restoration work, as the floor pans have been replaced by a previous owner. However, substantial metal work is still required, so make no mistake, this Camaro is a project car requiring a ton of fixes on every single front.
Unfortunately, very little information has been shared on the new engine under the hood, so we know nothing about its condition. The seller says this Camaro is a barn find, which theoretically means the car spent a long time in storage. People in the restoration business certainly know what this means: the metal comes with the typical rust damage, while the engine under the hood could be locked up from sitting.
The rust bit has already been confirmed but no further specifics have been shared on the 350, so interested buyers are recommended to reach out to the seller for additional details, especially on the condition of the engine.
The digital fight for this Camaro is already underway, with the top bid reaching $4,500. But on the other hand, the seller has also configured a reserve, and unsurprisingly, it is yet to be met. No information on its value has been offered, so bidders must do better to be able to take this Camaro home.
