If you’re looking for an unmolested, all original/stock carthat was someone’s long-time pride & joy, then this one may be for you.This car has never been in an accident and is all original except for replacedfender/quarter panels and paint, along with standard mechanicalmaintenance/updates. It has not been driven in anything less than ideal weatherfor nearly 50 years. The car is a family heirloom, but alas everything changeswith time, and my car collection is no exception.

This Camaro was purchased new in Two Rivers, WI, in 1969.The second owner of this car purchased it from the original owner in 1973. Thecar would then spend the next 42 years in cold storage in a northeast WIgarage. It was driven occasionally on only the finest Wisconsin summer days. Thecar moved to Texas in 2015 (the lone muscle car in a semi trailer full ofexotics), but is still in the same family. It is a garage queen and has onlybeen driven a few hundred miles in the last 20 years.

The car has never been modified other than to restore to theoriginal specs (there are two exceptions – a Retrosound Bluetooth radio wasinstalled, but the original Delco AM deck will come with the car, and a pair ofrear air shocks was installed to allow adjustment of the car’s stance. In thetrunk you will find the original warranty from the dealer and the original owner’smanual. The car drives like a “brand new” 1969 Camaro – straight as an arrow, witha nice classic rumble from the 327 V8 and dual exhaust, and automatic shiftingas smooth as butter – it is in perfect mechanical condition and working order.

The original owner used the car as a daily driver 1969-1973(where the bulk of the miles came from), so in the late 70’s, the second ownerspent a lot of time restoring this beauty, replacing the fenders and quarterpanels with 100% genuine new metal from GM. The entire body is solid (no rot, nobondo). The white vinyl top was also replaced and still looks very good(including the rear window, which is clear and transparent) and works great. Thedoors, hood, trunk, bumpers, and interior are all original (as of course arethe engine and transmission). During the 80’s and 90’s, the car won dozens ofawards at shows in and around Manitowoc Co., WI, including First Place, ClassicStock 1968-1969 three years in a row.

In 2016, this Camaro underwent a bumper-to-bumper mechanicalrestoration at Bumbera’s Performance Associates in Katy, TX. While re-sealingthe motor, Kenny Bumbera and his crew marveled at what a squeaky-clean 327 thiswas. The second owner was fond of changing the oil every few months, eventhough he only put about 100 miles on the car each year!

As most of it is original and 55years old, you will find scattered small nicks, scratches, and blemishes insideand out. None of these imperfections are large/obvious or involve rust or structuraldamage. Everything looks and works as it should – the car is in PERFECT workingorder inside and out.
