1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 Tribute [with upgrades] for sale

It’s hard to go wrong with a big block Camaro. And this 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS tribute not only has a powerful motor, but there are also the right supporting upgrades

So check out the manual valve body trans, modern performance tires, vibrant style, and all the other details that make for a terrific power car.

This Camaro looks quite nice in orange. It’s a shade similar to the Hugger Orange that was offered in ’69, and the glossy finish loves to radiate whenever you take it out on a sunny day. But this car also never loses sight of the idea that it’s a driver-ready coupe. After all, that’s what a good power coupe is all about. So the Coys wheels are a modern addition that fit in well because they shine as bright as the bumpers. But what those alloys really do is give you an 18/20-inch front/rear stance for an intimidating look, and they also let you fit a nice set of grippy modern tires. A proper Super Sport tribute means details like the cowl hood, chin spoiler, rear spoiler, and SS badging. And not only does this have the white D90 “hockey stick” stripe package on the side, but also there are Z/28 stripes painted on top. It’s a double-dose way to boldly announce there’s big power within.

Dark interiors make for a nice contrast to boldly bright exteriors. So the deep black inside is particularly attractive. The fundamentals have a tidy and well-presented appearance. This goes for a stock-style look with features like bucket seats, a center console, and wood-like trim. There are nice details everywhere from the headrests in the seats to the retro-style AM/FM/Cassette stereo. But the real appeal here is about harnessing a big power coupe. So you have the right features like a horseshoe shifter and grippy sports steering wheel.

The engine bay has a nice look with smooth black inner walls that funnel your attention to the bright heart in the middle. Bold block paint, polish valve covers, a matching air grabber, and an overall tidy style makes this 396 cubic-inch V8 impressive to look at. And this big block also makes impressive power with upgrades like the Holley four-barrel carburetor, aluminum intake, and long tube headers feeding the deep tones of the dual exhaust. In total it’s about nice fundamentals for today, and you also know that a little tinkering on Saturday morning can help dial-in the car you want on a fun Saturday night. The three-speed automatic transmission has a full manual valve body setup to give you full control of this enhanced V8 power. There are even full subframe connectors to add strength and confidence to this coupe. Plus, power steering, power brakes, front discs, and ZR-rated tires make for a good all-around driver.
