So you’re in the market for a classic Camaro, but all the restored models out there aren’t necessarily your cup of tea because they're missing that certain je ne sais quoi that sets a car apart.
Well, this ’69 Camaro that’s now being sold on eBay might be exactly what you’re looking for.

While at first glance it might be a regular Camaro, it’s not, as it’s actually a celebrity after it showed up in the Discovery Channel TV show Fast N’ Loud.

The folks over at the garage called Restore a Muscle Car explain that in season 16, episode 7, Richard Rawlings traveled to Minnesota to buy this Camaro, only to then sell it to them. And now Restore a Muscle Car is selling the same Camaro on eBay, and you can be the next one to own it.

The Camaro was originally an RS car that received the SS package. It’s powered by a 350 ci (5.7-liter) V8 engine that runs well, according to the seller, and is paired to a 4-speed manual transmission that shifts smoothly.

The car has also received a series of upgrades, include a real dual exhaust, new wheels and tires, new brakes.

Now, there’s something that you need to know if you really want to buy this kind-of-famous Camaro. It comes with a little rust around the rear wheel lips and in a few other places, but there’s nothing that you can’t fix with a little effort. It looks good anyway, and of course, it can easily be a daily driver, as everything works exactly as you’d expect it to work on a car that’s not really affordable.

Because yes, this Camaro isn’t really the cheapest you can find right now, as it costs no less than $35,900. But that’s probably the price to pay for being famous.
