Camaro SS started after 28 years…
After sitting for 28 years in Anchorage, Alaska, this 1969 Camaro SS was given a new beginning. Originally equipped with a big block, a small block 327 was swapped in sometime during the 80s’. 28 years of disuse do no favors to an engine and on top of typical gunk and grime, water had frozen and created a crack where it could then mix with the oil. After getting the car running, other projects took priority and the Camaro sat for another three years.
Finally, this poor car is getting the treatment it deserves by way of a good tear down, sand blasting and rebuild. The Yenko valve covers are a nice bonus.

Absolutely stunning!I'm a 72 lover but will gladly take a 69 !
Nancy and Bob Dunbar with their #original owner 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge in their Beachfield neighborhood. When Pontiac brought out its first GTO in 1964, it was a special edition of the Tempest, and the initials stood for Grand Tempest Option. Project Manager John DeLorean - of DeLorean auto fame - dictated that the Judge would always be this color orange, which was first patented by #Chevrolet and called #PontiacGTOJudge #CarouselRed #HuggerOrange #BobDunbar #GrandTempestOption #GeneralMotors

Not sure why I've seen red, white and blue Judges if this story is true though. In the early '90s, I had a '66 GTO frankenstein LeMans creation with a 400 Chevy engine in it. Closest I ever got...

Want to sell it.
Had one just like it with a flat hood !
Love it
Z 28! NOT SS!
Read Thomas’ comment. Z28-RS ( because of the “hidden headlights”)
Could be a L88 too…
Even a ZL1!
302 only
DEFINITELY FOR THAT YEAR! Gave up on keeping track of the later versions after “70.
It’s a RS/Z-28 not a SS
My buddy had one with both ss and rs nomenclature.
You are correct I had a friend with a RS/SS They made SS, RS/SS, RS,RS/Z28 ,Z28 that picture is a RS/Z28
Is it really one hundred years old?
48
Lol
My Navy buddy had one , white on orange RS/SS mild version 302 al. Rocker covers,4 spd Muncie, Hurst shifter, 850 Holley 4 bb….
If its a real Z 28 it should have a 302 sbc in it.
Neal Riley: That is one fine Z you have. In this story above, I don’t recall a Z-28 of the 69 Vintage ever coming with a big block, eg, 396 or 427, stock from Chevy?
Jim Zeiger They said they couldn’t find the original motor. That replacement looks pretty good !
The motor rocks for sure. Would love, if they were going to do a full restoration, to see them build a 302 for it. I think that’s a 283 crank in a 327 block?
the engine they have is a big block, so evidently its NOT a real Z-28. somebody just labeled it as one.
Guarantee not without work done on it
Awesome
Thought it was a z/28 like mine!
I love it!!!
God to find another one
I have an uncle that never owned one of these. He liked liverwurst.
Chew that plastic chub open with my teeth!
Gnaw that shit!
Please! What do I have to do?
Make it new again!
Z/28 only had a 302, bad ass engine.
A new lease on life! Well done
