The 1969 Camaro wasn’t radically changed compared to its predecessor, yet still introduced a series of changes, such as side marker lights, which were now added on all models to comply with government regulations.
The Camaro SS powered by big-block engines, however, received new chrome hood inserts, so basically, it was now much easier to distinguish a model equipped with the Super Sport package.

Chevrolet built over 235,000 Camaros for the 1968 model year, and needless to say, the Z28 was the rarest, as only close to 7,200 such units ever got to see the daylight.

The Camaro that you see here, however, is a restored example powered by a 350-cubic inch (5.7-liter) small-block V8 engine, and as you can see in the photo gallery here, it’s quite a looker.

And best of all, it’s listed for sale, so if you don’t have the time to mess with project cars and work on a model that needs to be brought back on the road, this one right here is definitely worth a look.

The car is no longer 100 percent original, and it has already received a bunch of upgrades that push it closer to restomod territory.

For example, it now sports a Flowmaster exhaust system with upgraded headers, power brakes with discs on the front, a Holley 4bbl carburetor, 3-point seatbelts for safety, and Braum racing seats (the stock ones also go with the car, it seems).

The 350 engine has been driven for only 7k miles (11,265 km) since the build was complete, so theoretically, everything should be as good as new.

How much is this Camaro worth? The seller says the correct price is $32,000, but the good news is that the “Make Offer” button has also been enabled, so you know what you have to do should you be interested in another deal. The Camaro is parked in Connecticut should you want to inspect it personally.
