Typically muscle automotive people wish to assume Chevrolet Camaros are fairly frequent, however the reality is that sure fashions and tools will be as uncommon as every other model’s rarities. Nope, not pondering of the 1-of-69 ZL1, however vehicles like a L78/L89 SS convertible are probably as uncommon as a Hemi ragtop. What a few extra run-of-the-mill Camaro that could possibly be discovered on Essential Road, USA? Let’s have a look at this 1969 Camaro SS that crossed the block final week on the 2024 Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Public sale.

Let’s begin off with the Z27 Tremendous Sport package deal. For 1969, it included a 300-horsepower 350 and heavy-duty three-speed handbook on the ground. A good quantity (34,932) have been produced, so not fairly on the uncommon facet besides possibly with the usual transmission. But there have been three different engines obtainable for the SS, all being 396s in three states of tune: 325-horse L35, 350-horse L34, and 375-horse L78. Out of the three, would you consider probably the most highly effective was not the rarest of the bunch? Solely 2,018 L34s have been constructed, which was about 1,800 fewer than the L78. All 396s have been simply recognized by the rear panel black-out, although again vehicles and tempo vehicles didn’t obtain the black-out.

For one thing extra uncommon, try the colour. Chevrolet referred to as it Butternut Yellow, but it surely was utilized by different Basic Motors manufacturers from 1965-69 and was additionally recognized by the names Mayfair Maize, Saffron, Cameo Cream, Bamboo Cream, Crocus Yellow, and Colonial Yellow. It was a well-liked colour for Chevrolets of the period, however not a well-liked colour for the Camaro: in keeping with inner Chevrolet paperwork as reported by the Camaro Analysis Group, just one.7 p.c of Camaros have been painted Butternut Yellow. It’s tough to find out the place Tremendous Sports activities lie inside this group, however I’m going to guess the colour was not well-liked with efficiency consumers.

Maybe Chevrolet manufacturing data isn’t as full as documentation from different manufacturers (notably Ford), however actually Chevrolets like this Camaro can test the identical bins as every other automotive model. Somebody felt the identical means and bought this one for $110,000 together with charges finally week’s 2024 Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Public sale.
