This Big Block 69 Super Sport Camaro would make a nice daily driver.
When I bought it 30 years ago it was Daytona Yellow with a Black Top.
It has a .030 over, 1972 454 cubic inch rat motor in it and it runs great.
It has a recently rebuilt Muncie 4 Speed in it, with an OE Hurst shifter.
The 12 bolt rearend has 3:08 gears, and an OEM Eaton 3 series Posi.
This is a Van Nuys California car with a clear California Pink Slip/Title.
The engine in the car runs excellent, on straight low octane pump gas.
The 396 pinged on pump gas, due to the 10:25 to 1 compression ratio.
This Camaro was built the first week of February 1969 at the Van Nuys plant, the 396 in the pictures came with the car when I bought it and it is dated January 29th 1969 or A 29, 1969.
The engine runs and still has 50 pounds oil pressure at an idle. It has never been torn down before and is standard bore with the OE steel shim head gaskets and nylon/aluminum gear.
This Camaro had factory air conditioning, power steering and a factory AM/FM radio when I purchased it over 30 years ago. Unfortunately I sold the radio to a guy in Canada years ago.
As you can see in the pictures the inside of both rear wheel well openings were cut/modified.
That is all of the bad news, the good news is that all of the sheet metal with the exception of the 2 front fenders is the original sheet metal installed by Fisher in 1969. The 2 front fenders sustained some damage in 1975 and were replaced with what we now call NOS fenders by the local Chevrolet dealer in Monterey/Seaside. There is absolutely NO rust in the floor pan, rocker panels, shock towers, quarter panels, roof, trunk, doors etc. It is a California Camaro.
The 396 is included and it's 99.9 percent complete as built in the TowandaNY plant in 1969. When I bought the car we wire wheeled the underside and painted it with black Imron paint.
This is a nice solid car and I have some spare parts for it, including the original shock mount plates and a spare set of OEM leaf springs if you would like to go back to the smooth factory ride it originally had without the "slapper bars" on it. The Muncie shifts like it did new in 1969.
Make me a reasonable offer and I'll setup a "Buy it Now" for this auction and sell you the car.

2013 Chevy COPO Camaro announced with two new engines and manual option
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Chevrolet is following up the 2012 COPO Camaro with another limited run of the drag-strip-ready production car for 2013. Ditching the superchargers, the 2013 COPO Camaro can only be equipped with one of three naturally aspirated V8 engines, and other new features include the option of a manual transmission, new front springs, some minor styling changes and a lower starting price of $86,000. All cars are designed to abide by the rules of the NHRA's Stock Eliminator or Super Stock classifications, depending on in which series buyers wish to enter their Chevrolet Camaro.
Returning for 2013 is the 427-cubic-inch V8 producing 425 horsepower, but the new engines include a 325-hp 350-CID V8 and a 375-hp 396-CID V8. Buyers can select to purchase all three engines, and each will be matched with the sequence number of that car; the track-only COPO cars will not have vehicle identification numbers and can't be registered for street use.
Chevrolet is also offering unique enthusiast-specific options such as a COPO Build Book and the opportunity for owners to help assemble their car's engine at the Chevrolet Performance Build Center in Wixom, MI.
GM takes heat for aborted Silverado riff on 'Boston Strong' at World Series
Thu, 31 Oct 2013During game five of the World Series, Chevrolet was set to do a spot of marketing for the 2014 Silverado - fans at Busch Stadium in St. Louis would hold up placards that spelled out the words "Silverado Strong," a theme that Chevy has been promoting since the Silverado's launch with the song "Strong," by Will Hoge. The St. Louis promo was ultimately called off, though, over concerns that it'd be insensitive to the visiting Boston Red Sox. (You can see the image of what the stunt would have looked like above, courtesy of one timely Reddit user.)
Now, the Busch Stadium stunt might not have been a big deal, had the St. Louis Cardinals not been playing the Boston Red Sox. Following the tragic events in Boston during the marathon back in April, the phrase "Boston Strong" gained traction among the city's citizens, especially at sporting events. So, you can imagine that Chevy's appropriation of the phrase might not sit well with some fans.
The stunt was ultimately shelved after images of the signs went viral before the game, leading to a bit of a public backlash. Chevy spokesperson Michael Albano said of the promo that it was meant to show the brand's "commitment to baseball and its fans." But after the images went viral, the company "realized there was the possibility that we may offend some of the very fans we were trying to honor," Albano told Automotive News via email.
GM won't sell 2014 Chevrolet SS in Canada
Thu, 21 Feb 2013Allow us to be the first to extend our condolences to our friends to the north. General Motors has announced the 2014 Chevrolet SS will not be available in Canada. The Globe and Mail reports the automaker has confirmed the high-performance sedan won't hit Canadian dealers, though GM hasn't offered up any reasoning as to why that is.
Buyers here in the US of A, meanwhile, can look forward to getting their hands on the 415-horspower, rear-wheel drive SS by late summer. Something tells us it won't be long after that before Canadian officials start seeing individually imported 6.2-liter V8 four-doors in their neighborhoods. Fortunately, Canadian buyers will still be able to take home the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. The C7 bowed at the Canadian International Auto Show last week, reportedly drawing sizable crowds and interest.
