Just a bit a trivia, when they first made the Camaro, the name they first came up with was Panther. I love panthers but I'm glad they stuck with Camaro. :O)

Okay here are my babies. My 1969 Camaros. I've owned 5 of them, but now I only have one. I wish I had them all.

Well, my first 1969 Camaro was an LA built Camaro.  Awesome car. I bought it for $1800.00.  I had to redo the interior, but the car was solid.  It had dark green delux interior and factory 350 small block with turbo 350 automatic transmission. It also had a 10 bolt non possi rear end.  It was originally factory Forest Green but the previous owner painted it a dark metalic green with gold metal flake.  It was pretty but the paint was chipping off.  This car had all it's original sheet metal. The sad thing is I totaled it. That was the hardest lesson I ever had to learn.  That was my baby, I loved that car. I sold off what I could and kept some things that I thought I could use later on anoter car and then the rest went to the crushers.

 Below is my third 1969 Camaro, This car was an LA built car.  It was factory Azure Turquoise with a black vinyl top and standard black interior.  I think the car came factory with a 350 Small block with a turbo 350 automatic transmission. It also came with a 10 bolt possi rearend, which I didn't know until after I sold it.  This car also has all of it's original sheet metal. I was after that car for several years. I left messages on the door of the guy who owned it for him to call me if he ever wanted to sell it.  Well, some how my parents finally got him to sell it.  So, I brought home the car, and tore into it.  All the interior came out and the paint was stripped and the vinyl top was removed.  Then it sat.  It sat for about 8 or 9 years.  I moved 70 miles from my parents where it sat, I just did not have time or the money to work on it.  When I was between jobs I finally had some time to work on it, my father and I did quite a bit of body work, he primed it and we put it back to gether and then I sold it.  I have to say, there were several people to look at it, but I'm glad I stuck with my asking price, which was  only $ 4500.00; it really wasn't a lot. But finally, a really super nice guy who I'm still friends with bought it.  His name is Bob. The picture that was taken in 2006 was taken by me.  My mother and I took a trip to visit him and his family and to see what he had done to the car. I couldn't ask for a better person to sell that car too.

Below is my fourth 1969 CamaroIn this case the fourth time was the charm.  My mother bought this car from the original owner. It is an LA/Van Nuys built car. It came factory with a 250 6cyl and a turbo 350 automatic transmission. She was very plain. It was factory Cortez Silver with dog dish hubcaps. It had standard black interior, and she has all of her original sheet metal. The original owner for some reason "god bless her" as she pasted away not too long after she sold the car.  But, she painted the car a Lite blue.  Bluck!!!!  I was a cheep paint job as well. So needless to say; she needed a new paint job.  It was a very hard decision for me to choose a color.  I had a pole that I set up on my original webiste for people to vote for three different colors.  They were Silver with black stipes, Yellow with black stripe and Blue with black stripes.  Well as you can see below; Silver and black won.  I am very happy with it.  I had a long time friend do the body and paint.  He is really well know in my home town.  He did an awesome job on the car; unfortunately it took a while, but in the end it was so worth it the wait.  I chose a slightly darker color than the original Cortez silver, I went with a color from a Honda S2000, they also had this color on the later model Camaros as well. It is called Silverstone. The Black stripes are from a Toyota. It is very pretty.  And Rick (he is who painted it) as a suprise to me added a slight hint of metalic to make the black sparkle.  It is very suttle, not over done at all; it's perfect.  I love it.  As you view the pictures I will be adding below, you will see all the new up grades I am doing to this car.  She is going to be a very nice Z/28 Tribute car.

Below is the fifth 1969 Camaro was a car I picked up not to long after I sold the third one to Bob.  This was an RS/SS. I'm really not sure what size motor it had.  Unfortunatley this car was in about the same condition as the second car.  There was multiple areas of rust that was way more than my budget could handle.  This was a Norwood built car. I picked this car up mainly for it's parts.  I wanted the factory cowl induction hood, the 12 bolt possi rearend, and several other things.  This car came factory with standard black interior a center dash clock and center console gauges. It also was an automatic. It was coded as an X11 with the D80 which means it came with the spoiler front and back. This car was lucky, I turned around and sold it instead of sending it to the crushers.  I just hope that the guy who bought was able to do something with it.

Awesome car, my favorite gen (1st gen) especially the '69. Super job with the car it's perfect. I saw the 2010 in person too at a local dealer, it was a v-6 but had the leather interior and was pretty neat. Then the salesman was like the price is 33,000, and I was like "are you kidding me, that's the price for an SS." I didn't tell him that though, but they have really jacked up the prices even on the v6. I've only seen a black SS on the street though, and it was bad ass. Well back to your car, I've seen it on youtube before seeing it here. Definitely 5 stars :)
