The goal of the build was to keep the stock look of an original, high optioned 1969 Camaro RS SS then upgrade the chassis, suspension, engine, brakes, interior. The frame off restoration took five years and was completed in 2014. It has only been driven 6700 miles since completion. Everything works well and runs just as good as it looks. The car comes with a binder that contains receipts and pictures of all major work that documents the build process. Engine:The engine is essentially new and has been broken in properly. Has approximately 10-12 hours of drive time on it. It is a 4 bolt main 454 stroked to 489 CI. The receipts shown describe the parts included with this build. It is very reliable. No leaks smoking hard starting or backfiring. The engine has a mild idle that is not overbearing and idles at 800 rpm nicely. Power is quick, smooth and predictable. Enormous torque that pulls extremely hard to 4800 rpm. Engine builder broke in the motor and set it up at his shop on an engine dyno. He documented the process with a video and paper docs.

If you are looking for a highly optioned 1969 Camaro in factory new condition and are not worried about matching numbers or originality this is the car you want. I built this car based on what I liked so there are trim pieces I purposely left out. Many of these pieces will come with the car. I also have the stripe kit (Z28) , 4 speed m22 transmission and correct shifter (for console cars) , linkage and trans mount. They are included along with the sale. There will be a pallet load of items that were original and not used as well as some parts that the new owner may want. Th RS reverse lights are included and the windshield wiper fluid pump were not a priority so I did not install them. The windshield wiper works perfectly as do all the gauges, turn signals, emergency lights, dome light, exterior lights etc The speedometer/Odometer was replaced when the dash was gone through. The mileage shown is the actual mileage that the car has been driven since the restoration.
