1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 Tribute Description

This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 tribute celebrates all the best elements from the first-generation car. After all, we all love Hugger Orange paint, dual stripes, and houndstooth interiors. But as you dig a little deeper, you'll discover all the best upgrades - from an A/C interior to a screaming 500+ horsepower big block. So more than just iconic, this one has been built to be all-around irresistible. There's just something about a Hugger Orange Camaro. It's bold... enough to warn others on the streets "don't mess with me!" and it just seems to be a beacon at car shows. This one is particularly nice because the color has been applied with a very professional hand over well-fitting panels. The white SS hockey stick stripes make it stand out even more. It has the right Super Sport pieces, like the front air splitter, D80 ducktail spoiler, and faux velocity stacks on the hood that are a tribute to its predeceasing years. Of course, on an icon like this you need proper brightwork. So it's shining nicely with the attention paid to chrome bumpers, complete trim, and iconic Rally wheels. Open the door to another great icon. The houndstooth interior does a great job of giving this coupe a premium image. After all, that iconic cloth is complete, right down to the button-top presentation. With the pristine white on the door panels and seat trim, the interior and exterior accents match to unite a very well-coordinated total package. More than just look great, there was an investment in all the right places. That means comfortable upgrades, like a cup holder center console and ice-cold R134a air conditioning. You get a Chevy's classic three-spoke sports steering wheel mounted on a polished Flaming River tilt column. And beyond that, the new Thunder Road panel allows for the full AutoMeter Pro-Comp Ultra Lite gauge package upgrade. We all know that cue ball shifter is just calling out for your right hand. You might have noticed the fender callouts telling everyone that the big block under the hood is even larger than what the factory offered. Not only is that true, but the 454 displacement is actually underrated. You're looking at a 468 cubic-inch V8. This might be a monster motor, but it looks seriously sweet with such an investment in shining components. It's a full package built by Terry Walters Precision Engines. So not only does it look great, but also it has been enhanced and fortified with the right pieces, like Edelbrock aluminum heads, Edelbrock intake, ARP bolts, Mike Jones cam, Icon pistons & rings, Morel roller lifters, and an aluminum radiator w/dual electric fans. This mighty V8 inhales deeply with a Quick Fuel 750 CFM four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with authority out of Hedman headers that feed the dual exhaust. This full package is rated at 511 horsepower and 582 lb.ft. of torque - and we have the dyno sheet to prove it! Best of all, you have complete control over this big power and thunderous soundtrack thanks to the four-speed manual transmission. Plus, with power steering, wide BF Goodrich T/As, and power brakes w/discs up front, you'll find it quite easy to harness the beastly power. Complete with restoration photos, this is a Camaro of premium and powerful distinction. So you know you have to hurry if you want it to be yours. Call now!
