The Camaro received an improved look for the 1969 model year, and I think we can all agree that the car looked better now. A more aggressive design paired with refined headlights and taillights made the Camaro a more intriguing purchase despite the mechanical part remaining largely unchanged.
Chevrolet continued to refine the Camaro lineup with subtle improvements, such as a Hurst shifter on the Z28 and a cowl hood introduced as a mid-year update. Camaro buyers could also order disc brakes, and headrests were now offered as standard on all models.
The Z28's yearly sales increased, confirming that Chevy indeed made the right changes to this version. The company sold only 37K Camaros fitted with the RS package, while the Z28 surpassed 20K units, becoming one of the models bringing home the bacon this year.
One of the Camaros produced in 1969 landed on eBay not long ago, as seller daddybigfiyah305 believes the car is still worth a second chance to return to the road. Any restoration guy can tell this isn't an easy project, as it looks like the Camaro has been sitting for a long time. Unfortunately, we're not getting many specifics, and the only thing the seller shares is that the Camaro is still original.
I would thoroughly inspect these claims, but it's clear that you'll spend most of your restoration time fixing the metal on this Camaro. The body is no longer straight, and the rust has already invaded the typical parts, including the trunk and the floor. I wish the seller offered more information on how the Camaro ended up in this condition, but overall, it's a project forgotten for a while that is now hoping for a refresh with the typical restoration work.
The interior has already been removed, but the bigger question is how much of this Camaro is no longer around. As we all know, the missing parts could be quite problematic for someone attempting a complete restoration, and one of the photos shared on eBay shows the dashboard already removed, together with the seats and almost everything else in the cabin. Some parts are available separately, but you'll have to inspect this chapter separately to determine how much time you'll spend online looking for parts.
The Camaro won't sell cheaply despite the rough shape and possibly the missing parts. The owner believes $17,500 is a fair price, but they also enabled the Make Offer option, leaving the door open for further negotiations. The listing will expire in 27 days, and considering 40 people have already added the car to their watchlists, I don't believe this Camaro will remain available for long. It's parked in Hesperia, California, and you will need a trailer to take it home.
