1969 Chevrolet Camaro With Surprise Under The Hood

This cool 1969 Chevrolet Camaro arrived at the V8 Speed and Resto Shop for a complete restoration, but we are intrigue with some of the unique elements found on this all-original car.

Stuff You Don’t See Every Day

This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro is a bit out of the ordinary for several reasons:

– The car is all-original
– The exterior color is Butternut Yellow
– The interior color is green

Striped For Style

This Camaro is wearing the code D69 stripes, which swoop over the wheel openings on the quarter panels and fenders, and it is also painted with the DX-1 hood and nose stripes. These wrap around the nose of the car and up the hood pointing to the windshield.

Under The Hood

Another interesting part of this ’69 Camaro is the all-original 250 cubic-inch 6 cylinder engine, coupled to an automatic transmission. While 6 cylinder Camaros were popular when new, it seems most were converted to various V8 engines over the years for better performance and more power. However, this one is slated to stay with the original inline 6 during the car’s restoration.

LT4 – 10L90 10-Speed Custom Chassis 1969 Chevrolet Camaro RS SS Pace Car Updates at V8 Speed and Resto Shop

A Pro-Touring / Resto Mod Camaro Lover’s Dream!

The classic 1969 Camaro Pace Car, a California native with a storied past, has undergone a dramatic transformation. Its original drivetrain is a distant memory, replaced entirely with a modern masterpiece. A Schwartz Performance chassis now forms the foundation, boasting an independent rear suspension featuring components from a sixth-generation Camaro. Under the hood lies a monstrous LT4 engine with a dry sump oil system, breathing life through a 10L90 automatic transmission. To keep this beast cool, a C&R Racing radiator and cooling system with SPAL brushless fans ensure optimal temperature control.

The Last 5%

Although this Pace Car – a real one, by the way – has an amazing list of parts installed, the owner wanted some final details addressed before hitting the road with his prized Camaro. We’ll be knocking out a punch list more commonly known as “The Last 5%” – you know, little details that linger at the end of a restoration or performance build that prevent it from being 100% complete and ready to rock. We’re honored at the V8 Speed and Resto Shop for the opportunity to bring this car across the finish line.
