This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS convertible was purchased new by the seller’s grandfather at Bryner Chevrolet of Jenkintown, Pennsylvania, on February 27, 1969, and it was inherited by the seller’s father in 1979. The car is powered by a 350ci Turbo-Fire V8 paired with a three-speed Turbo Hydramatic automatic transmission and is finished in Frost Green over Midnight Green vinyl upholstery. Equipment includes a power-operated soft top, 14″ Rally wheels, front disc brakes, power-assisted steering, black hockey stick stripes, a chrome rear bumper, an AM/FM radio, and a cabin heater. Refurbishment work in 2014 and 2015 included rebuilds of the carburetor and front brake calipers, and the replacement of the brake master cylinder, wheel bearings, upper control arm bushings, valve covers, starter, motor mounts, belts, heater core and hoses, and exhaust. The power top hydraulic system was replaced in 2017. This Camaro SS convertible is now offered by the seller on behalf of their father with a dealer invoice copy, a Protect-O-Plate, an owner’s manual, a car cover, partial service records, and a Pennsylvania title.
The body is finished in Frost Green, and features include a convertible soft top, black hockey stick stripes, SS and 350 badging, SS hood trim, a body-color front bumper, and a chrome rear bumper. The rear window was replaced in 2015 and the power top hydraulic system was replaced in 2017.
The 14″ Rally wheels are mounted with F70-14 Firestone Wide Oval tires. The car was factory equipped with power-assisted quick ratio steering and the SS suspension, and braking is handled by power-assisted front discs and rear drums. The front calipers were rebuilt and the brake master cylinder, wheel bearings, and upper control arm bushings were replaced in 2015.
The cabin features front bucket seats and a rear bench upholstered in Midnight Green vinyl. Interior appointments include an AM/FM radio, a center console, a rear window defroster, and a cabin heater.
A replacement steering wheel frames a 120-mph speedometer and a fuel-level gauge, and the removed steering wheel is included in the sale. The five-digit odometer shows 44k miles, and the seller states that the odometer stopped working in 2015.
The 350ci Turbo-Fire L48 V8 was factory rated at 300 horsepower and is equipped with a four-barrel Quadrajet carburetor, which was rebuilt in 2014. Work completed in 2015 included a tune-up and the replacement of the valve covers, starter, motor mounts, belts, heater core and hoses, radiator cap, spark plugs, battery, and exhaust.
The engine stamping is shown above. The HB suffix corresponds with a 300-horsepower, 350ci L48 V8 for use with a three-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission.
