1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS Coupe

The heady days of the muscle car in the late 1960s gave us some of the most powerful and stylish cars of the century. Introduced in 1967 as the answer to Ford's Mustang, the Camaro was off to a solid start. A facelift for 1969 made for a longer and lower look, and the Camaro was now one sleek looking machine.

Presented as one of the most iconic cars to grace the blacktops and open roads of America, this 1969 Chevrolet Camaro was acquired by the Grand Rapids Classics Auto Museum from well-known muscle car collector and dealer Mr. Dallas Hawkins via Worldwide Auctioneers annual Auburn Auction and Show. According to its trim tag, this example was built the first week of June at the famous Norwood Cincinnati, Ohio Assembly Plant and finished in paint code 53/50 Dover White over a 715 blue interior trim.

Sporting a classic stance, it is further elevated by a blue vinyl top, a matching blue hockey stripe, and front and rear spoilers. A smooth driving experience is thanks to upgraded 17-inch American Racing Wheels and new P225 and P245 Nitto NT555 G2 tires. Power is provided via a 350 cubic-inch V-8 engine paired with an automatic transmission, along with desirable power steering and power four-wheel disc brakes.

The well-presented blue cabin is filled with options: bucket seats, a horseshoe automatic shifter, three-spoke teak steering wheel, and an AM/FM radio.
