I left my wallet in El Segundo . . .
 but look what I brought home, Ma!

The muscle car craze swept the nation in the late 1960s, when the exhaust rumble of a Hemi Cuda, Boss Mustang, or Pontiac GTO provided the daily dose of adrenaline for many of us. Fortunately for car-o-holics, there are quite a few nice muscle cars for auction on eBay lately. What a shame then, that a great number of these dinosaurs seem to be destined to languish in collector's stables as pure investment commodities.
Many of these hoarders seem to forget that the thrill of owning a muscle car lies in driving it . . . FAST!

The '69 Camaro for auction here must be the epitome of a street-driven muscle car.
It certainly is clean enough to be the pride and joy of any die-hard bow tie fan.

The car is loaded with Z/28 and rally sport options:

 The heart of the '69 Z/28 Camaro was its 302 cubic inch high performance engine. With 11-to-1 compression, solid lifters and other goodies, this power plant was originally conceived for the legendary Trans-Am racing series where displacement was limited to 5 liters. Coded "DZ", an original Z/28 motor is a collector's item in its own right. Many red-blooded Camaro owners that still like to drive their street machines have done what the previous owner of this rare muscle car did: take out the motor and store it.

The Z/28 engine shown here, production code #V0219DZ was assembled at the Flint, Michigan plant on Feb.19, 1969 and will be included with the vehicle.

What's in there now, you may ask?

Filling the engine bay is a nasty 454 c.i. rat on steroids !
Virtually no expense has been spared to create what must be one of the meanest, yet still perfectly streetable big blocks in the country.
This fantastic motor was built, balanced, and blueprinted by engine wizard Leonard Woods IV. He's the grandson of Leonard Woods Jr., partner in the Stone, Woods and Cook WILLYS gasser, the most famous match race drag car ever.
Only the best parts were used to create one stout big block. Compucam cam, Venolia forged pistons, Edelbrock performer high rise intake, Holley double pumper w/ polished floats, Hooker 3-inch aluminum headers, Flowmaster exhaust, Tilton starter, MSD ignition, to name but a few.
A huge, custom-built aluminum radiator and twin electric fans keep things cool at all times.
Additionally, the whole engine compartment has been brought up to show standard with the liberal use of chrome and braided lines.

This Camaro epitomizes the term "SHOW AND GO!"
Just yesterday, we took it and our Kellison J-5 to the streets and barked the baloneys a bit. While the jury is still out on who's the King of the Hill in the quarter mile, both cars performed--to use a Rolls-Royce term--MORE than sufficiently!
Bring on those fancy Euro sports cars anytime . . .

Camaro's pilot works in a very appealing environment. The interior features virtually every option from the 1969 RPO book, including--but not limited to--deluxe seats and door panels, full gauge package incl. clock, Z/28 tachometer, wood grain accents and tinted windows. In place of the original stick, a B&M quicksilver shifter governs a beefed-up Turbo-Hydramatic 400 with hole shot converter and deep pan, built by the Toy Shop in Pomona, Calif. All this power is transmitted through a 12-bolt posi rear end that has been prepped by Currie Enterprises.

The numerous mods were done tastefully and with utmost care. Cosmetically, the car looks stock.

Even the factory seat belts are still present.

The original trunk floor is immaculate. No rust here or anywhere else on (or underneath) this baby. Built in Los Angeles, the car has never left the Southland.

The picture above right shows an excellent floor mat, expensive fire extinguisher and one of the 2 Bazooka bass tubes that are part of the high-dollar stereo system. The system is completed by a Kenwood KRC-3006 Cassette receiver with CD control for the trunk-mounted KDC-C603 10CD -changer, a KGC-7043 graphic equalizer hidden in the glove box, 2 MOSFET in-line pre-amplifiers with flux capacitors (350 Watt total output) as well as multiple inconspicuously mounted Alpine and Boston speakers. Believe me, this powerful system will satisfy the most demanding music lover!

Highly unusual for a 31-year-old car, there are absolutely no rattles, squeaks, shakes or shimmies that would diminish the pure driving excitement. Just like a late model, this Camaro handles and stops with aplomb, thanks to polyurethane suspension components, large diameter sway bars, and power disc brakes. Its suspension is so smooth and the car is so docile in traffic, you really want to use it as your daily freeway flyer !
No area has been overlooked in creating one of the most exciting street machines in the country. Naturally, all this work does not come cheap. Over $30k have been invested, and it shows.

Camaro's body is arrow-straight and the stunning Daytona Yellow is the correct color for this car.

Rear view shows off the muscular side of this Chevrolet. Gorgeous rally wheels with correct center caps and chrome beauty rings are shod with near-new BFG Radial T/A 225/60-15 tires up front, 275/60-15s in rear.

This '69 is show-ready. How could you possibly improve it?

Original California black plate and YENKO license plate frame are included. Camaro has clear California title. The odometer shows 91,023 miles.

In keeping with the spirit of the '60s, this muscle car legend is being offered at absolute auction, with NO RESERVE! Bidding starts at 28 Dollars and Zero cents.

Note: Only one per customer at this price. No coupons or rain checks.
