This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro RS Convertible has an odometer reading of 18,055 miles and was recently given a concours-level, nut-and-bolt, rotisserie restoration that included stripping the body to bare metal. Originally built at the Los Angeles plant on October 17, 1968, this was the 132nd car created on the Los Angeles assembly line, and the original floor pans, quarter panels and doors still have original LOS inspection tags. Once the ZL2 cowl induction hood is open, one might note there is a date-code correct 350 CI V-8 engine installed, but the top of that engine wears the Trans-Am series developed cross-ram intake design with two new Holley 600 CFM double pumper carburetors and a 302 CI air cleaner decal. There is a new alternator, fuel pump, fuel tank, sending unit, radiator and water pump, plus a new pump for the N40 power steering. Ending in the NC8 dual-chambered exhaust, the engine is backed with a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission, and the car also features F41 multileaf springs and a new power disc braking system. The body wears a COPO special-order Code 10 Tuxedo Black exterior, which came on a mere 2% of all 1969 Camaros, refinished in base coat/clear coat, including the undercarriage. The D90 hockey stripe, new power-operated convertible top and Argent Silver RS grille is highlighted by straightened and polished original stainless trim. Other cues are A01 tinted glass, CE1 headlight washer, D80 front and rear spoilers and V32 rear bumper guards. Inside is a new black interior with houndstooth seats, new rubber and felt seals, Z87 Deluxe interior wood-grain accents, the U17 factory console gauges and tachometer, a J67 fold-down rear seat and B37 color-keyed floor mats. This car rides on Rally wheels, 14x7-inch front and 15x8-inch rear, all with new trim rings. There might be a varied selection of ’69 Camaros out there, but for those who want one-off exclusivity, this updated classic is one to keep an eye on.
