For Sale: 1969 Chevrolet Camaro in Morgantown, Pennsylvania for sale in Morgantown, PA
Vehicle Description 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Pace Car Convertible In February 1969, General Motors held a press conference to unveil the modified Camaro SS/RS convertible that would serve as the pace car for the 1969 Indianapolis 500.
This was the second time a Camaro would serve in this role since it had previously done so in 1967.
However, this time, GM was pulling out all the stops.
Two cars would be built for the actual pace car duty, a primary vehicle and a backup, each thoroughly inspected and specially modified by top Chevrolet engineers, but GM also built one replica that would be given to the winner of the race.
Additionally, a large fleet of 130 replicas and support vehicles were brought to the track.
This fleet was used by race officials, media, and VIPs.
After the Indy 500, Chevrolet dealers offered the Pace Car replica package as option code RPO Z11, Indy 500 Pace Car Accents.
The Z11 package cost a mere $36.
90.
According to Camaros.
org, a total of 3,675 Z11 Camaro Pace Car replicas were produced for the 1969 model year.
A Z10 coupe version was also offered at certain dealers in the Southwest; approximately 500 vehicles were built with that option.
Imagine yourself behind the wheel of one of the best year Camaros, leading the field of 33 with the likes of Andretti, Unser, Foyt, Gurney, and Donahue behind you! Then imagine being the only front engine powered car on the track! Treated to a full blown restoration done prior to our consignor's purchase we present to you a real deal 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Pace Car replica.
Exterior Dover White covers the straight steel slabs on this car, which are all minding their gaps very well and it's really nicely buffed and has a glass like presentation with only a few faults upon close inspection.
Also, adorning the exterior are dual wide Hugger Orange painted on racing stripes, which.
well race up the long hood of this pony car stopping at the front windscreen and continue on the small rear deck and cool spoiler atop.
At the front of its body, a satin black grille hangs a familiar SS emblem above clean parking lamps, a small black chin spoiler, chromed bumper and correct RS hidden headlights.
Behind that grille, a requisite Camaro header fronts a cowl induction hood, which flows to a tinted greenhouse that's dressed in polished mirrors, polished wipers and straight stainless trim.
All this topped by a tear free white canvas convertible top.
On the sides, stainless trim frames the wheel openings and a rocker spears between them, correct quarter louvers are on as well as traditional door handles and ornate fender emblems.
One cannot miss the huge door decal noting this car as an Official Pace Car, and at the back of the car, an SS branded filler panel, RS taillights, and a second chromed bumper.
15-inch deep dish rally wheels are on along with raised white letter BF Goodrich Radial TA tires in 235/60R15 configuration to keep things stuck to the ground.
Interior Swinging open the well balanced door and we are met with an orange vinyl covered molded door panel with a swoopy armrest and bright chrome strip following suit.
The bottom of the panel is dressed in clean black carpet and gives nice contrast.
Smooth orange vinyl bolsters with orange and black houndstooth cloth inserts covers the recovered front buckets and rear bench, this interior is fab! Up front there is a new dash pad, very clean instruments and some wood applique on the steering wheel, in nice condition, and the rarely seen column shifter mechanism is also on.
Also, an aftermarket AM/FM/Cassette radio is mounted in the dash with another aftermarket AM/FM/CD radio hanging below.
Replacing the factory heater slides is now a slide panel for the heat and AC courtesy of Vintage Air.
A sea of calm black carpet douses the floors and is in nice condition.
Drivetrain A hoist of the hood, and we note a 350ci V8 in good shiny condition.
This engine carries a correct 3982388 casting number along with the correct 300hp HB, (the stamping code is partially obliterated), but no VIN accompanies this on the stamping pad.
This is topped with a 4-barrel carburetor mounted onto an Edelbrock intake manifold and correct cowl induction air cleaner assembly.
A non original 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission is on back which connects to a PB stamped 10 bolt rear axle.
Everything in the engine bay looks just fab with an orange/red painted block and supple black hoses.
Undercarriage A very small amount of surface rust is seen on the usual suspects, however unremarkable.
Solid unibody, and floor pans, and Flowmaster muffler equipped dual exhaust can be seen underneath.
Independent front suspension with coil springs and power disc brakes is on the front while on the rear we see leaf springs and more power discs.
A very nice presentation down below.
Drive-Ability It isn't often that I clamor to drive a muscle car but when the chance to drive this came up, I hopped over my desk and swiped the keys right from my crack decoder's hands.
As luck would have it, my minions were visitingthis day so we all loaded up and with a turn of the key the engine came to life and settled into a nice healthy rumble.
I slid the shifter into drive and off to the test track I went.
Here it performed well with ample acceleration from the 350 cubes and I kept glancing in the rearview mirror hoping to see Foyt, Andretti, and Unser bearing down on me waiting for the green flag, but I digress.
On the track the car handled very well, and braking was smooth and bias free.
All in all, a great drive with all functions operational, including the headlight door mechanisms but there was a notable tire rub from both the front and rear, most likely caused by the upsizing of the tires from the factory F70-14 Polyglas units.
We get lots of Camaros through the door here at the Classic Auto Mall but none quite as unique as this Pace Car Convertible.
Having the correct engine,correct decaling, correct Z11 code on the trim tag, correct orange houndstooth interior and with the added upgrades of an overdrive transmission and reliableVintage Air it's hard to go wrong.
