This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS convertible is equipped with the Z11 option, which added the RS and SS packages as well as trim and decals in the style of the Camaro pace car used at the 1969 Indianapolis 500. The car is finished in Dover White over Orange vinyl and houndstooth cloth upholstery and is powered by a 350ci Turbo-Fire V8 paired with a three-speed Turbo Hydramatic automatic transmission. Features include a Positraction differential, a white convertible soft top, 14″ Rally wheels, front disc brakes, power-assisted steering, orange stripes, Pace Car graphics, retractable headlights, chrome bumpers, front and rear spoilers, an AM radio, and a replacement center console. This Camaro Z11 Pace Car convertible is now offered by the selling dealer in Utah with service records and a clean Arizona title.
The Z11 package was introduced in early 1969 to outfit a limited run of production convertibles with trim replicating that of the official pace cars built for the 53rd Indianapolis 500. Fewer than 3,700 cars were sold with the option, all finished in Dover White with Z/28-style stripes in Hugger Orange. Exterior equipment includes a White convertible soft top, an orange top boot, Pace Car decals, retractable headlights, dual side mirrors, front and rear spoilers, and chrome bumpers.
The 14″ Rally wheels are accented with chrome trim rings and center caps and mounted with 235/60 BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. The car is equipped with power steering, and braking is handled by power-assisted front discs and rear drums.
The cabin features front bucket seats and a rear bench upholstered in orange vinyl with houndstooth cloth inserts. The selling dealer notes the center console has been replaced, and interior appointments include a tilt steering wheel, an AM radio, lap belts, and a cabin heater.
Instrumentation includes a 120-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and an analog clock as well as gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, voltage, and coolant temperature mounted to the center console. The five-digit odometer shows 17k miles, approximately 100 of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The 350ci Turbo-Fire V8 was fitted with a replacement Holley four-barrel carburetor in 2024 and is also said to be equipped with roller rocker arms. Coated exhaust headers feed into an aftermarket dual exhaust system.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed Turbo Hydramatic automatic transmission and an optional Positraction differential. The selling dealer states the transmission was rebuilt under prior ownership.
