1969 Chevrolet Camaro Coupe

This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro was refurbished and modified as part of a multi-year project initiated following the seller’s acquisition in 2003. Work involved a repaint and an interior re-trim along with installation of a twin-turbocharged 400ci V8, a Currie 9″ rear end, a coilover suspension, and four-wheel disc brakes. The car was listed on BaT in May 2021 and is said to have subsequently undergone further work including an engine rebuild and the addition of a Holley EFI system, a Tremec TKX five-speed manual transmission, Ikon Motorsport bucket seats, 18″ ESR multi-piece wheels, and replacement exhaust components. Finished in metallic blue, it features front and rear spoilers along with Dakota Digital instrumentation, a Hurst shifter, a roll bar, and more as detailed below. This modified Camaro is now offered with the removed bucket seats and a clean California title in the seller’s name.

The five-spoke 18×9.5″ front and 18×10.5″ rear ESR wheels are wrapped in Federal and Nitto tires, respectively. The car rides on adjustable coilovers and is equipped with tubular front A-arms as well as a four-link rear suspension. Further modifications are said to include installation of a replacement front subframe and connectors, a power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering system, tall front spindles, and rear mini-tubs as well as a Wilwood brake master cylinder and C5 Corvette–sourced brake calipers over 12″ front and 13″ rear rotors.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Tremec TKX five-speed manual transmission that was reportedly installed in 2022 in place of the previously fitted TKO 600 unit.
