This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS convertible may not be ready to drive, but with a numbers-matching engine and four-speed transmission included it has great potential! It is being sold here on eBay where the buy-it-now number is $18,500 and the car’s current home is listed as Justin, Texas.

The 1969 Camaro received its first (and one-year-only) styling refresh since being introduced in 1967, and Chevrolet truly embraced the stronger aspects of the car, giving it more curves and a refined, muscular shape. As the ad said, “…as close as you can come to a pure sports car and still get a back seat and trunk in the deal.” Targeting like that helped the Camaro team escape the wrath of the Corvette loyalists!

This particular SS needs some bodywork help. The seller notes that the trunk pan has already been cut out and a replacement panel is sitting in the location, but there are also small holes in the floor pans and some past repairs to the quarter panels may need attention.

The seller also shows their scorn for a previous owner of the Camaro by noting that “some dum nut” (sic) replaced the front end with a fiberglass one. At least we know where they stand! Unfortunately, the seller states that poor health is forcing the sale of the Camaro, and they have several other projects for sale on eBay as well.

I’ve lightened this picture from the ad as much as I can to show the details of the interior; the seats look saveable, especially for a driver, but you’ll have to decide whether or not you want to replace the pale yellow exterior with a coat of the original Fathom green. It’s also a shame that there aren’t pictures of the drivetrain; however, given the quality of the rest of the pictures, I’m not sure we’d find much useful. 9.4% of 1969 Camaros were painted the dark metallic shade and I find it very attractive, so I know what I’d be doing. What about you?
