Can we all agree 68-69 model cars doge, mercury, Plymouth, Ford, chevy and AMC had some beautiful body style model cars during them years. They wasn't playing.

In 1987 I bought a 69 camaro ss with a 396 and a 4 speed for $400. It was crazy fast. Being 18 at the time I was interested in how well it would go and not how well it would stop. The guy from whom i bought the car neglected to mention the brakes didnt quite work- but I figured that out pretty quickly. My first drag strip pass (the stoplight at 27th and main in hutchinson ks) ended with me using the emergency braking method. Three hours of owning that car and I wrapped it around a telephone pole.

Absolutely beautiful. My best friend had a 69 Camero, he rebuilt a Vette engine put bin it, had it painted a beautiful orange. Then doing some final tuning, he forgot to tighten the fan, it came off, straight thru the fender, like you opened it with a can opener.

[allenmax]

wow...what a car....congrats to whoever ordered it.

I have my fathers 1968 RS/SS Camaro factory L89 aluminum head. He purchased new in 1967 from Z Frank Chevrolet in Chicago were he worked. Ordered just to street race. 4 speed. Tinted power windows with a front bench seat so the center consul will not be in the way. Black on black.

I am glad to hear they've made a lot 69 Camaro, it's not fair that the best looking Camaro ever made was just for a short one year run .

I love these videos and you are one lucky SOB to have access to such a killer collection! I would really love to hear more of the cars though, both at idle and revving. Thanks for another kickass video!!!!

I'm a Ford Guy, but this is one beautiful 69 Camaro. Wow!! I would buy one just like it anytime of the day...

i bought A California model it was the 1969 SS 350 with the RS package all original w paperwork 15K ON HER, i drove It back to Wichita Kansas from Seattle Washington pulling 1964 Covair Spyder. In my dads garage it became a MONSTER. FROM HOT ROD MAGAZINE BY THE NUMBERS-we pulled engine, dumped all the smog stuff, blueprinted, ported, polished, added AP Headers, Elidebrock Hi- rise intake, Holley 780 with vac secondaries, corvette Cam 447 lift 342 duration, new rockers, springs, lifters, guides, push-rods, MT Hi-rise valve-covers to accommodate the bigger lift, kept and ran stock 373 12bolt.. posi.. added NEW HD CLUTCH, it produced 500HP at the rear wheel when it was dynoed, the 780 had to be re-jetted down, then it easily tacked 5grand & went to 7 and all on the top end. I loved that car ! Deep Navy Blue with all the white decals. Chromed fake factory hood carb inserts. that a cop car ! ME HOW I KNOW LOL ! I STILL MISS HER UGH

I'm get ' n those wheels to match up w/ my dog dish hub caps for my 67 RS Camaro ! Nice vid

[ouimetco]

The cars are beautiful but what really brings me back to your videos is the professional style and presence of the speaker, with limited hype. Well done

[timcarlton]

im a big fan of you site, , , my 1st car was a 69 ss 350 4speed with 3.73 pos, forest i loved this car, i had new gm finders and new trim, , bought it when i was 14, but then 16 came around and i traded it for a 73 z28(my bad) the 69 ended up being shadow gray, with black ss strips, and a LT-1 from a vette, i was heart broke, , , that car started me 0n my way to work on cars, i restored 1000pt cars winning lot of awards for the it was a team effort not just i would still want one but doing my time in the army and being a body man/mechanic, my body shot, , , , but you give me hope with all the cars on your

[TwoWheelRocco]

Love those L78. I have 65 l78 corvette. Lots of fun...Bought mine in 1982, Just that power...Great job with the videos..

[lolbr]

I like this one too. The update was class. I stopped going to hot rod show's, I kept looking for an old Camaro with a little dirt on the splash pan. This one is nice...

[billstovall]

Nice. Wonder why there aren't any pictures or videos of the factory offered headers?
