Details

This authentic black 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 retains its original color combination and original matching-numbers DZ 302ci V8 engine. This car has been certified by Camaro expert Jerry MacNeish of Camaro Hi-Performance and is one of roughly 10 to 12 black 1969 Z/28s in his database. Production of black Camaros was 0.6% of the total production for 1969. A total of 20,302 Z/28 models were produced in 1969 and based on the percentage, an estimated 122 were painted black. As the original VIN Tag and original Trim Tag indicate, this car was built on the first week of September 1968 at the Norwood plant as a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Sport Coupe. It was ordered with a black with white stripes exterior and a black vinyl interior. It was also ordered with the following options in no particular order: Spoiler equipment, power disc brakes, M22 4-speed manual transmission, cushion-grip steering wheel, tachometer, AM push-button radio and special performance equipment Z/28. This car was acquired by the last owner in 2007. It was the product of a complete restoration that was completed over the course of an 11-year period. Bob Harris from Camaro Specialties helped with supplying many correct parts for the restoration. The engine, transmission and most of the date-code-correct mechanicals were restored or rebuilt by Camaro expert Jerry MacNeish of Camaro Hi-Performance, which is documented with receipts. The exterior of this car is in excellent condition and looks aggressive in black. It retains all its original sheet metal. The body is very straight with great gaps throughout. The body was painted in its original factory color of black with white stripes. The high-quality paintwork has been detailed to a deep glossy finish. All the original Safety-Flo-Lite-stamped glass is beautiful condition throughout. The car sits on the correct date-coded 15-inch Rally wheels that wear chrome trim rings and center caps. The wheels are wrapped with Goodyear Wide Tread GT E70-15 white-letter tires. The interior of this car looks amazing in its original color of black. The bucket seat covers are original and still show very well. Items such as the dash pad, door panels and carpeting were replaced new. The 3-spoke steering wheel frames a tachometer with a 6K-rpm redline, accompanied by a 120-mph speedometer and fuel-level gauge. The trunk compartment was nicely restored. It's equipped with a full spare and jack tools. The engine compartment is highly detailed throughout with many correct parts. The hidden VIN stamp in the cowl area is original and authentic. The car is powered by the original matching-numbers DZ 302ci V8 engine that runs excellent. The engine is fed through the original date-code #4053 Holley carburetor. The engine breathes through a correct exhaust system that sounds sweet. The engine is coupled to a date-code-correct Muncie M22 4-speed manual transmission. The power is transferred through the date-code 12-bolt posi-traction rear end with 4.10 gears. This authentic rear axle was originally installed in one of the 206 JL8 Camaros produced in 1969, as noted in Jerry MacNeish's report. The undercarriage is highly detailed throughout with many correct parts. The original floor pans have been restored beautifully. Everything has been gone through, such as the fuel system, steering system, suspension components and braking system. The JL8 optional disc brakes have been installed to this vehicle as an upgrade during the restoration. This car was recently serviced and detailed, which is documented with an invoice that's included. From the MS CLASSIC CARS Collection.
