Chevrolet built over 243,000 Camaros back in 1969, and more than 150,000 people who bought one opted for the base model, while a little over 37,700 customers purchased the RS package.
Of course, the more expensive SS was a bit rarer, as the GM brand shipped close to 35,000 Camaros with the Super Sport package. Finally, only some 20,000 people picked the Z28 as their daily driver, so this particular version is also the hardest to find these days.
But the Camaro that we have here is one of the 150,000 base models that shipped in 1969, and yet, its owner still hopes someone will decide to give it a second chance and bring it back to mint condition.
As you can see in the photo gallery here, it’s pretty clear the car isn’t exactly in its best shape, but there is good news and bad news about this Camaro.
As eBay seller xdxd69-4 puts it, “most of the car has all original parts.” While we don’t know what’s not original, this makes the Camaro a strong candidate for a full restoration to factory specifications.
But despite having the original 307 (5.0-liter) V8 unit under the hood, you can still very well go for a restomod, especially because the car isn’t running anyway. And given all the things that need to be fixed and improved, there’s a chance it’d be easier just to give this Camaro a modern treatment.
The interior is the one that deserves all the praises, as the seats appear to be in a pretty surprising condition given the way the car looks on the outside. While we don’t know if there’s something missing or not, the seats seem to require thorough cleaning, and that’s pretty much it if you want to bring them to like-new condition.
At first glance, this Chevrolet Camaro has become a small internet sensation lately, as it has already received over 20 bids since the auction went live. The top bid right now is $17,000, and if you want to inspect the car in person, you can find it in El Paso, Texas.
