1969
Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 302 Crossram JL-8 with 4 Wheel Disc Brakes
This Heartbeat City offering includes one beautiful Fathom Green
1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 302 with the original engine and transmission that
General Motors installed in the car from the factory in 1969. I have taken the
time here to address as many details about the car as possible. The individual
paragraphs below are designed to help you understand each facet of the
car.
The 1969 Z/28 is one of the most sought after
muscle cars. The Pontiac Firebird, GTO, or even the TRANS-AM is not as
desirable as the Chevrolet Camaro. I have many clients with large car
collections consisting of the rarest and most desirable muscle cars such as the
Shelby Cobra or the Boss Mustang or even the rare Chryslers Hemi Cuda or
Challengers. One thing all of these car collections have in common is
the presence of a 1967, 1968 or 1969 Camaro Z/28 427 Yenko, COPO or even a
ZL-1. One cannot over emphasize the desirability of the Chevrolet Camaro
Z/28. The car offered in this eBay auction is no different. Please review
the information provided and ask question freely.
Options:
1969 Camaro Original Z/28 Crossram w/9737 COPO
option, 13/16 off road front sway bar, 140 mph speedometer, JL-8
brakes, fast ratio steering, front & rear spoilers, heavy duty radiator and
positraction. Other options include console with gauges, dash mounted
tachometer and center dash mounted clock, standard black interior, rosewood
steering wheel, tinted glass at all locations, passenger side door mirror,
rally wheels, cowl induction and special interior group trim package.
Engine: 302 Crossram
The engine is the original Chevrolet V8 big
performance 302 cubic inch 290hp with a casting number of 3970010 with a
pad stamping of V1022DZ. This engine is the very same engine that General
Motors installed in the car at the factory in 1969. The engine is completely
rebuilt with all new parts using new .030 pistons. The crankshaft was machined
to .10/.10 under and the camshaft is a genuine Chevrolet 302 off road Cross ram
camshaft. The original engine pad stamping and original VIN number is still
intact on the side of the engine block. The very last pictures in this auction
show close up views of the engine VIN and Transmission VIN. These are not
restamps in any way shape or form. Please see the paragraph below for
a letter of authenticity that will accompany this Camaro.
Crossram Intake: 2x4 Factory Crossram Intake w/steel hood
The Cross Ram intake is a brand new licensed
Chevrolet intake manifold with the correct Holley list #4295 585cfm double
pumper carburetors. The pictures below show the quality of the Cross Ram intake
manifold and installation. One of the hardest things to accomplish with any
multi-carbureted car is setting it up and getting it to run with excellent
performance. Make no mistake this Camaro runs as good as any of them. You
can literally spin the tires until you are tired of hearing them squeal or you
can't breathe from the smoke. If you look closely in the pictures, you can see
the oval cut out in the factory steel Cross Ram hood. These hoods alone
sell for 5000.00. This is a genuine GM hood.
Transmission: Muncie M-21
This Transmission is the original unit that General
Motors installed in the car at the factory in 1969. The build code on the side
of the transmission is 9R21B. This indicates it was assembled on August 21
1969. The “B” at the end of the code indicates the transmission is a close
ratio. You can view close up pictures of these codes and the VIN at the end of
the pictures in the listing.
Rear Axle: JL-8 with 4 wheel Disc Brakes
I removed the original rear axle from this car 2
years ago and installed a factory original service package JL-8 4 wheel disc brake
set-up. The rear axle is completely rebuilt with all new ring & pinion and
bearings etc. The housing is in near mint condition. The casting date on the
housing is K-15-8. This means the housing was casted on November 15 1968. The
axle assembly date is QX12218 G1 E. This stamping sequence means the rear
axle was assembled on December 21 1968 and a 3.73 gear ratio was installed. The
G stands for Gear and Axle Plant. The “E” indicates Eaton for the positraction
unit. The brake calipers both front and rear are completely rebuilt, restored
and stainless steel sleeved. The front brakes on the car are the special
calipers, and brackets for the JL-8 option. All parts are completely restored
and rebuilt to factory specifications. If you’ve ever driven a JL-8 Brake
optioned Camaro and stomped on the brake pedal you already know why these
brakes are so popular. The original cost in 1969 for this ultra rare option was
a bit over 500.00. This may be the reason why only 206 JL-8 Camaro(s) were
produced from the factory with the RPO code JL-8 brake option.
Body & Sheet metal
All body panels are genuine GM original parts.
There are no Taiwan or China body panels on this car. The quarter panels are
full to the sail panel and are NOS Genuine GM parts. The entire front clip
and doors are all original to the car. The trunk lid and rear spoiler are
original GM. The floor pan, trunk pan and rocker panels are all original GM and
have not been replaced or patched.
Interior:
Standard black
Brand new standard black seat covers, door panels,
carpet and most all trim has been replaced. Even the seat foams and seatbacks
were replaced. Please see pictures of the interior. The steering wheel is shown
in some pictures as the black comfort grip. I found a super nice
Rosewood wheel and installed that steering wheel on the car. The
Rosewood wheel is an original GM steering wheel without cracks or damage. The
steering wheel you will receive with the car is the Rosewood steering wheel.
Suspension: Front & Rear
All new front and rear suspension parts have been
replaced. All new bushings, ball joints, tie-rod ends, steering pitman arm etc.
The rear suspension springs are brand new correct reproductions of the original
rear leaf springs. The under carriage of the car is shown in many of the pictures.
Much attention was given to detail and correctness. We installed all new spiral
shock absorbers. We used correct fasteners with detailing and correct
plating and head markings.
Notable Items
The original spare tire in the picture
is shown and is still intact. The spare rally wheel is the
original “YH” with a date code of 8-4-9 or August 4 1969. The original spare
tire is the Goodyear Wide Tread GT E-70-15 with Nylon cord. I photographed
the date code and the nylon cord marking as well as the YH code. The
original jack is not photographed, but it is dated 9J or October 1969. The jack
is original and untouched. The spare wheel and tire have not been restored or
detailed. These items were left in mint original condition.
Letter
of Authenticity: Sworn Statement
Many Camaros and other muscle cars are being sold
out there on the open market with the buyer beware “as is” concept. What
many people do not understand is that the “AS IS” Law or Statement is that you
cannot legally manufacture or alter a motor vehicle with the intention of
fraud. This means if you take a standard model 1969 Camaro body and
install Z/28 or SS parts and other items on said vehicle, then re-stamp or
deface the engine, engine codes or misrepresent the vehicle to fraud another
prospective buyer, you can be guilty of a crime. That crime is called fraud or
intent to fraud in many states. Please contact your attorney or your state
Attorney General for your legal rights.
