We’ve had a full month back in May to marvel at the engineering wonder that is the Ford Mustang. But one must not forget there’s at least one other equally as impressive muscle car on the scene, and even if it didn’t get its dedicated coverage here on autoevolution (yet), it’s still worth a visit from time to time.
A couple of years younger than the Mustang, the Camaro is too one of the few surviving members of the muscle car era. And even if there are new ones on the road, the ones from back in the day still manage to steal the show wherever they go.
In the case of this here 1969 example, the show would be the Barrett-Jackson auction in Las Vegas later this month. It is trying to sell there (online bidding is already open) as a restomod packing impressive hardware and modern touches of technology.
Wrapped in yellow and black over an interior in the same colors, the Camaro makes use of a 7.0-liter LS7 engine rocking stainless-steel headers and a Flowmaster exhaust. It is controlled by means of a manual transmission.
We are not told how much horsepower the engine develops in this configuration, but for the record in its stock form the powerplant spits out 505 hp, and has made a name for itself in the Z06 variant of the C6 Corvette.
The Camaro was upgraded elsewhere too, and rides on impressive Rocket Racing Booster chrome wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich G-Force tires. Inside we get a Kenwood AM/ FM/CD stereo with touchscreen panel, Bluetooth connectivity and four-speaker sound system, as well as a center console coming from a 2012 Camaro.
There is no estimate on how much this machine, showing just 1,375 miles (2,212 km) of use, is going to get, but it is selling with no reserve, so the sky is the limit.
