1969 Chevrolet Camaro With Surprise Under The Hood

Posted on by V8 Staff

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.

1969 Chevrolet Camaro Drivability Improvements at the V8 Speed and Resto Shop

Posted on by V8 Staff

Some restored cars look completed, but still require extensive refinement and tuning to be road-ready. In this case, our customer had this sweet 1969 Camaro restored for them, but the shop did not complete some of the final drivability details, so the customer is not confident driving the car. The car is sporting some cool parts selections like a FiTech fuel injected 454 Chevy V8 coupled to a Tremec TKO 500 5-Speed transmission, all wrapped in a stock RS / SS trim package. However, the “last 5%” details still need to be addressed to make sure the car is ready for miles of trouble-free cruising. For example, the front tires rub the inner fenders when turning, the windshield washer system does not work, there are some loose radio wires, and other nuisance items. Once they are remedied, the engine tune will be optimized, brake performance dialed-in, and other systems verified for proper operation. The V8 Speed & Resto Shop team is well-versed in this process, and we’ll be performing final adjustments to remedy the quirks of a fresh restoration.
