wow too hottt... 69 was one of the best years!

Technically the 69 Camaro was the best year of the Camaros. Corvette steering and suspension from the factory, beefiest engine, wide and short wheel base for way better handeling.

Chevy did it right with the 69. The best Camaro year ever, by looks in my oppinon and in performance hands down!

Mustang? oooohhh I shutter at the thought of a mustang..in the words of the great Shelby "A mustang is a secritaries car". That is what he told ford when they came to him and asked of them to take the Mustang and make it a better.
I am however looking at a 69 Chevy Camaro SS.
Oh, yes.....it is calling for me! I want it and it wants me!

yet shelby took the mustang and not the camaro.
looks like the "secretaries car" outlived/outbreathed/outran the slomaro.

long live the pony car (cool)

Uh oh! Here we go! Yes the "mustang" out lived the Camaro, but it was also lower cost. One of the things that caused the Camaro to retire was Chevy wasn't as willing as Ford to target the mother figures or people that wanted the car, but not the performance. If that makes sense.

Basically Ford said "ok, lets take the mustang...toss a V6 in it and sell it cheaper." Chevy did it for a bit with the Camaro, but wasn't wanting to keep it up and shame the Camaro. For Shelby going with the Mustang, he did that because Chevy never asked him to make thier cars performers, they didn't need to. Mustangs never out ran Camaro's, Camaro's hands down out performed Mustangs.

As for Shelby...well you take the GT500 or GT350...those arn't mustangs anymore! They are Shelby's! They are hands down one of the worlds finest muscle cars.

But do you know why Shelby did what he did with the Mustang? to quote Mr. Shelby "I only wanted to beat a Corvette." that is why. Now he didn't say Camaro, but point being, the Mustang wasn't a performer.

Hands down, a Factory Mustang won't touch a factory 69 Camaro.

But to be fair, Mustangs aren't bad cars they just arn't my cup of tea. Mustangs have great possibilites, Mr. Shelby proved that.


EDIT: Oh, and as far as the pony car...it has serious troubles surviving, and almost died several times. However Ford pulled off some magic and was able to keep it around. The Chevy Camaro however, never had issues sticking around.

Nice find but I think the $30k you claim it is worth is a little steep? but to each thier own. It sounds like a great car. Check the floor/sill befire you buy it though. Seriously, pull the carpet up and look, lay on the floor and check out the sills with a screwdriver? also the rear inner panels.

only problems we had finding parts for our '67 camaro rebuild were the inside panels that line the footwell to the sidewall. I dont recollect what they were called but they go down by your feet and cover the side of the footwell. Have little vent slot that you open manually. Only part we couldnt find. On our current restorartion ('70.5)we can't seem to find a decent replacement nose and we ended up bending sheetmetal to make the front lower lip panel. This car had Zero rust on the floors or trunk. Pretty much everything else was decent shape, just needed a little tlc...
Here is how it is sitting. Finally got the headliner up. What a pain in the arse.

I wonder if the guys on classic mustang and camaro boards have msp vs srt-4 debates, hehe...congrats on the car and good luck to you!
