1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 Restomod

Description

This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 is a freshly restored coupe with a mean all-black style, and the big block is even larger than the factory offered. Plus, with upgrades everywhere from A/C to fuel injection, this is the kind of restomod that impresses with its comfort, style, and power. So you're looking at an icon that you're going to love to drive.

The trim tag really tells a terrific story about this car. It indicates this was born an ultra-desirable Tuxedo Black car. That always has added value, and so we understand why this car was given a comprehensive restoration. It has a deep luster that helps the sunlight show off the well-fitting body panels. And all that gloss goes well with the bright chrome bumpers and trim. So you know they took their time working on this one. And the investment of extra effort and money is because the trim tag indicates this is an X22-code SS 396 car. That makes this the ultimate first-gen Camaro, in the best color, and born with the meanest attitude around. A true Super Sport means the aggressive details like cowl hood, chin spoiler, and rear spoiler are all earned. And of course, the darkness let the white SS stripe stand out. There are also hints that there's even more power to this big block coupe with the upgraded 15-inch rally wheels and wider rear tires. But for most people, the first impression is more about showing off the classic performance style we all love.

The factory black interior is on the trim tag, too, and that means this was a blackout car from day one. The fundamentals like bucket seats, door panels, and carpeting show the right freshness of a good restoration, but nothing here ever feels out of place on a classic. That's why even the AM radio is still on display for a true vintage atmosphere. Even the upgrades are subtle. The REM Automotive sound deadener kit is hidden in the panels, and the R134a air conditioning uses well-integrated Vintage Air controls. This is a power car that you'll want to drive, and so you get the right driver-oriented features. It includes front bucket seats with headrests, a grippy Chevy sports steering wheel, and a Hurst shifter calling out for your right hand.

The engine bay has a fresh and tidy look that tells this coupe has been given a solid investment everywhere. The fender badges and callouts on the air grabber say this is a 396ci motor, but that is a bit of a fib, because this is a LARGER 454 cubic-inch V8. We're told this is a fresh crate motor, and it has been built for all-around appeal with an upgraded Holley intake, MSD Dynaforce starter, serpentine belt kit, and an aluminum radiator with electric fan. It's then topped with a Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection system that adds both power and consistency to this mighty big block. This makes for a strong running motor that makes a sweet sound out of the dual exhaust and Flowmaster mufflers. The Muncie four-speed manual transmission means you're in complete control of the full package. And the clean look of the undercarriage gives it the confident feel of a fresh build. Add in power steering, power brakes, and front discs, and this makes for an all-around great driver.

This is the Camaro SS 396 restomod with the right power and style to be a true head-turner. So don't miss your chance at a terrific total package, call today!
