A few more pictures. Other than a replaced carpet, the interior is completely original which for a white interior is pretty cool. Original 350

Very nice looking Camaro! What are the details? I have always liked the subtle yellows that the big 3 put on their cars, especially GM.

Thanks! Believe it or not, one family owned the car until I purchased it 3 yrs ago. The family that owned it owned a Chevrolet dealership in North Carolina. I have the POP and original window sticker. It’s loaded with AC, PS,PB, PW, and an automatic. Has the 350 / 250 engine. It’s one of the best driving chevy’s I’ve owned.

Nice '69!!! I knew it was Butternut when I saw it. In 1969 my father bought a new Butternut Impala. It came with yellow steelies and hub caps though.

That's certainly a rare combination of options especially back in '69.
Beautiful presentation!

That is awesome. Love reading that you got the Magic Mirror finish. I love the old paperwork for some reason.

I too like the old paperwork. I wouldn’t have bought it without that magic mirror finish

I’m taking it to the local cars and coffee tomorrow and will post more pictures.

GREAT LOOKING CAMARO!
1969 is my favorite year. Bought a one owner 68 RS SS 396 4spd convertible in the early 80's and sold it to buy my 63. Like that butternut yellow. My mom had a 66 Caprice 396 that was butternut with a black vinyl top. Great looking car!

Hi Larry!

Yes, I completely rebuilt it thanks to your education. Dom rebuilt the compressor. Blows real cold.
