I have decided to put my pride and joy up for sale, the 69 Camaro SS L-78 I have owned for the last 2 years. I have complete owner history back to the original owner and have talked with him several times. He also signed an affidavit verifying the car as the one he bought back in May of 69. Here are the details:
1969 Camaro SS 396 L-78, X-22 04C Build, 71 paint code (Lemans Blue)
20K Original Miles Rustfree, Sold at Francis Chevrolet, Bridgeton, Mo. 5/9/69
Protect-O-Plate, Delivery Sheet, Owners Manual, etc
Mostly Original Paint. Drivers door and quarter have been touched up with Lacquer in the mid 90's due to a parking lot scrape. Original white stripes.
Original Perfect Interior
Original BV code 4.10 rear and M21 Trans
Date code correct Warranty replacement CE 854 block and 842 Aluminum Heads (3-69 and 5-69) with all stock L-78/L-89 components
GM correct Deep Groove pulleys and Harrison ZD Radiator
All original suspension with original spiral front shocks
Original stock Hurst Shifter and linkage
Original Glass in perfect shape
Original non spoiler car. Spoilers were added by previous owner in the mid 90's.
Trunk and underbody untouched.
5 brand new F70-14 Wide Tread GT Tires
Original Bumpers and Trim
The original owner street/drag raced the car and dropped a valve in the early 70's, trashing the original block and one head with 8K miles. The car sat until he sold it to a co-worker in 1975. The next owner stored the car in his basement until the mid 90's when the CE block was located and installed. I also have several vintage pics of the car with the original owners son taken in 1974 or 1975.
I also have a 272 block dated T0416JH that can go with the car for $1500. The block is presently .030 and will need to go .060 over. The current 854 block is .030 over so the pistons/rods can be re-used in the 272 block.
I have over a hundred other pics showing details of the car during the disassembly process. I basically cleaned everything and re-assembled the car, keeping it as original as possible.
I can be reached by cell phone 713-306-1892, or e-mail
[email protected] for additional details and pics.
Asking $79,500
I was lucky to find a car like this but it is time to find a new owner to appreciate the car as much as I have.
