The 69 is my dream car. I don’t care how it was originally, If I get one I’ll make it the way I want it

A lot of people do that! After all, it's your car and you can do as you like. I feel that they're all special, but I must admit feeling a certain way when people irreversibly modify some of the more rare cars, like the Z28. It feels better to me when someone modifies one of the less desirable cars, like one if the straight six grocery getter style camaros. Just my opinion though

I love the first gens, but will admit I favor the 69s.

"Who doesn't love the sound of this?" Tree hugging Tesla owners. Seriously, this is my dream car. It has Mustangs and Chargers and Challengers all beat.

In high school I bought my 1969 Camaro…..Glacier Blue 307 automatic kind of a basic Camaro……I was able to jazz it up, new rims, raised white letter tires, rear spoiler, an 8 track……I loved that car…..unfortunately I was hit head on by a police car responding to a bank hold up, no lights, no siren etc…..we were both on a blind curve with him on my side……once the lawyers were out of it, I had it completely redone…..it looked beautiful……in 1973 I traded it on a 73 cp Corvette convertible…..red with white top…..the mystic however went away and I missed my Camaro…..fast forward to 2010, I bought a refurbished 1969 Camaro convertible, and it’s been a fun project car…..great driver..

I had a 1969 Camaro Z/28 back in the 2000’s. It was really nice!!!

I want to buy one right now.

That would likely be a lot of work. Far more expensive than buying someone's unfinished project in long run too. In 2011 while in Tampa I saw a couple of SS clones going for $15-20k. They were both big block cars one was dressed like a 396 the other one aftermarket, I know the 396 car was actually 454 not sure about the other one. My point is that's a steal these days. In the early 90's I started restoring a 70 Nova, I worked at paint shop and knew how to build an engine. My budget was limited though so I never finished it. Few years later I purchase the RX-7 and payed someone to modify it. I will say it wasn't remotely cheap and it's certainly worth a lot but not nearly what I have invested in it. You go on the classic car sites and a restored small block can be $50k or more, with what I would call a parts car for $5-10k. If you're serious I would surf the muscle car forums and look for someone down in FL. Palm Harbor, near where I use to live is where I saw those cars. Every Friday night in the summer they would hang out in the Checkers parking lot mostly to display their cars but every week or two someone would have a for sale sign up. Find someone that frequents there and they can tell you if they see something.

4 wheel disk was a option, 206 made , headers was a option on Z28 came in the trunk as did crossbeam of 2 fours . The standard engine on all SS 67 - 69 was 350 - 295 hp 67 , 68 300 for 69. And the 396 , 325, 350, 375 hp was optional.

I always superloved the shutter eyes Camaro!! Saw a video in which Finnish classic meeting had Camaro with 572_ 8.8 litre heart...and yeah it was my fav Camaro( shutter eyes)..

Had a 69 SS 396 4speed with white interior and black vinyl top garnet red. Never seen another one that had that same combo.

Beautiful car. It's my dream car.

I owned a base (X44) Camaro back in the 70's. Like so many others, I wish I never sold it. However, I did visit the local junkyards back then and bought "several" key interior 69 Camaro parts (including an entire mint dash) which I still have today. All I need now is to find an unmolested car.

My father picked me up at school in 1970 in a red 1969 SS 396 like this one. Back in those days you could take a car home from the dealership overnight. He ended up getting a cat shit green RS 350 with a vinyl top and an automatic. Soon after he bought it, they recalled it to put funky little cables around the motor mounts. I guess motor mounts were breaking.

They're good cars, and handled the best if any American large car during thrir time. Just know that any 57-60 Chrysler product is going to be VERY rust prone, like more than usual of 1950s cars. Take extra steps to rustproof your chassis and avoid rain. Also, some oarts may be hard to find, becsuse thete are few of those cars remaining because of said rust issues, but the good news is, when you can find one, they tend to be a lot more affordable than 1960s Mopars.

my dream car !!one day inshallah

I own a 1969 Camaro 327 engine turbo 350 trans and now I learned something I have Posie slip rear end. I’m thinking the rear gearing might be 3:31. And I did upgrade the rear leaf springs to five leaf and front disc brakes with 15x8 rear rally wheels and 15x7 front . Then upgraded pipes to real chambered 1969 exhaust. And much more, too much to list. I don’t think I would sell the car less than 40k.

For '69 the JL8 four-wheel-disc brake option added bigger Corvette disc brakes (11.75-inch rotors) and four-piston calipers at each corner of the car. This package added $500 to $700 (depending on the model) to the price of any Camaro. Considering most Camaros at the time listed for $3,500 to $4,000, the JL8 package bumped the price of the car by a huge margin.

Great question. The Protect-o-Plate was a GM feature, so your Ford Galaxie won’t have that. But there are ID numbers all over the car. A little sleuthing will help you figure out just what you have.

The Z28 Camaro as he mentions is not the "Top Dog" in 1969. The Z28 was built for a specific reason. It was a racing engine for the Trans-Am. It really depends on what you are looking for. Most collectors would consider the 69 ZL1 Camaro as the Top Dog. Or perhaps the Yenko 427 is more your style of Top Dog. The 69 L89 engine also a powerful drive train. Or maybe you prefer a highly optioned 69 Camaro in a convertible version as your Top Dog. In 69 there is a variety of things to look for in your collection or daily driver. AS always the condition of the body

No a good vid coming from a 69 Camaro owner, Chevy enthusiast and die hard motor head. He should've talked more about vin codes, available options internal and external for all 3 years. As well as the super rare Yenko and COPO Camaros. Also a lot of Camaros big blocks were heavily down played in the horsepower department due to insurance companies. Based on the model and trim of the car, or even just order the higher package engine options straight from Chevrolet Headquarters and have it sent to your dealer you bought your Camaro from and have it installed. The 396 engine max was 375hp, don't quote me on that but the very rare 427 went up to as 475hp but obviously to avoid insurance issues for the buyer Chevy put on paper it was a conservative 427hp or 435hp.

Now that’s a fucking car.

A lot of mis information in the above video. Hagerty should have gotten an expert ---> to create a informational video. To much mis information to add it all in the comments. Who cares about belts and hoses?, this is nickel and dime stuff. You want to make sure the motor stamp is real, that the vin is present on engine/trans, on the high performance models, and how about checking the date of all the driveline components making sure they line up with the date the car was produced? This video looks like a insurance guy trying to be a knowledgable car guy. I can have anybody read a camaro book and recite the info this guy presents. If you are interested in purchasing a Camaro do not use this video as a tool. TeamCamaro, or Camaro research group, both have good research articles. Learn all that you can about the camaro. Know that most of them have moisture issues, and where to look for them. I would say most important is step one: find a good body, with correct vin and title. Hagerty please do your customers a favor and do not put out any more videos with a bunch of blather. To many people get taken thinking they are aware after watching something like this.

I think this is the first step, have money falling out of your butt.
