Even when it comes to the classic muscle we all love, some finds are more special than others. And the one we have here certainly qualifies as the kind that deserves to be in the spotlights: we're talking about a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro that comes with some sweet, sweet options and recently entered the crosshairs of Gas Monkey Garage.
1969 was an amazing year for the Camaro - while the oily bits were mostly inherited from the previous year, only the hood and trunk lid remained untouched, with the rest of the body panels being updated for an even meaner look. And since this sportier appearance remains confined to the said year, we're talking about quite a bonus here.

And, to make the most out of the said design, the example we have here packs the Rally Sport option. The RS goodies include the custom black grille with hidden headlights, fender stripping, all-round wheel opening moldings, black sills and those all-about-the-look rear fender louvers, among others.

All the dust on this Chevy would have you believe we're dealing with an all-black car. However, the said specialist, which brought the find to our attention via Instagram, explains there's a white vinyl top somewhere in there.

It appears that the cabin doesn't show major issues, at least judging by what we can see in the social media post at the bottom page (make sure to use the swipe feature to take a peek inside this slab of America). And yes, that awesome shifter is connected to a four-speed manual tranny.

Returning to the attention this Camaro deserves, it looks like justice will be made after the time the Chevrolet spent in a more or less poor state. After all, Gas Monkey Garage's massive-budget builds reach a massive audience than the Fast N' Loud show on the Discovery Channel.
