1969 Chevrolet Camaro Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
While similar to the 1968 Camaro in appearance, the 1969 Camaro brought a new level of power to the automotive world. Engines were available in a wide range of performance, from a 307-ci, 200-horsepower small block to a pace car replica with a 427-ci, 525-horsepower big block.
Although not the owner of the strongest engine of the year, the 1969 Camaro RS/SS 396 Indy 500 convertible pace car has become among the most collected cars of all time. Few exact replicas of the pace car were made with the 375-horsepower engines, but many replicas were made with a 350-powered, 300-horsepower engines. These machines could go from 0 to 60 in 7 seconds, and take the quarter mile in just 15.

An all American sports car. The '69 model is a unique year. The '67 and '68 have the same body style, the '69 is totally different and the '70 and onwards is different again. '69 Camaro's are very popular models, however good ones are getting harder and harder to find.Jul 15, 2010

1969 Pro-Street Camaro
468 BBC 720HP before any NOS
Ford 9inch narrowed rear (Fully Tubbed)
Runs 10.2 on motor
High 8s with both NOS kits on
Right now it is more or less a trailer queen but still technically street legal. 110+ octane isn't fun paying for...Nov 03, 2009

IT's AWSOME ... enough said. It is an unbelievable car
that me and my dad built to be my first car. It has a
LS1 engine from a 2001 Z28 camaro, full global west
suspension w/ koni shocks, boze prolite wheels, and
it is painted the platinum graphite silver from the 08-
09 nissian 370z.Oct 04, 2009

Performance - Good old American Muscle... enough said
Build quality - its the reason I got a cell phone (tends to not start at times).
What do you expect its 40 years old.
Appearance - If you don't love the menacing in your face look than you need to
look somewhere else.
Cost of Ownership - Luckily parts are cheap and everywhere so maintenance
isn't a problem and if you are worried about the mpg's then this car isn't for you
(8/12).
Fun factor - just take one for a spin...Sep 24, 2009

It has 430HP and it climbs past 560 at over 5k rpm. It runs on High Octane fuel which is 5-6dollars a gallon. This car is very quick and fun to drive on the street, and a drag strip.Sep 21, 2009

It's a joy to drive. Almost everytime I get it out I draw attention. The performance level is above factory, the gauge system has been modernized. The car isn't a trailer queen, but it is well kept and in great condition. I frequent cruise-ins and local car shows. Hopefully I will one day pass it on to one of my kids.Sep 01, 2009

Took my '69 to the Hilo drag strip, and went high 12s, back in the day. V8 454. Loved the speed and power. Wish I still had it! It was good for racing on the track and off the track. And I could still drive my babies to preschool in it!Aug 20, 2009

Liked the classic muscle car appearance and stance. Favorite part was the 468 BBC and the 4 speed transmission that tried to lift the front tires off the ground a little. Also cant forget the sound of the 3" exhaust from the headers back.Jul 08, 2009

The only thing i hate about the 69 camaro is the interrior size. Because i am 6 foot 8, it is awkward for me to fit inside this camaro, but overall, i only know 4 people who couldnt fit in this car like me, so you all have nothing to worry about. When it drove the performance was amazing, all my dad had to do tap the accelerator and it lit the tires up. This was an amazing car to drive and turned heads of everyone who we drove by...I <3 this car. All it needs is a little work on the underneath and fixed engine. EVERYTHIng is original including the 302 engine.Jun 28, 2009

There isn't really anything stock about it anymore. I bought it in 2003 as a rust bucket and did a custom build job. Most of the interior is stock. I went with the deluxe interior with houndstooth and the works did all the reupholstery myself. The engine is not stock. It is a Chevy small block 350. Hoping to upgrade th tranny soon.Nov 13, 2008

1969 Camaro, it has a ZZ383 Stroker crate engine, backed up by a Tremec TKO 5 speed, then a 10 bolt, soon to be replaced with 9 in. Plans for the suspension are a Detroit Speed and Engineering front clip with all the goodies. Rear suspension will hopefully be a Lateral Dynamics Watts Link 3 Link, mini tubbed, with subframe connectors tying it all together. As of right now its has 14 in wheels hopefully to be replaced by 18 in Intro wheels. Paint is the original Butternut Yellow paint which is pretty faded, with a primer hood. Hopefully i will repaint it blue, but not sure.May 31, 2008

A guy I work with says that his neighbor has a factory made 1969 T-top Z-28 Camero. I have never heard of that !
