Motive Archive is pleased to mark the sale of this 1969 Chevrolet Camaro, which closed at $49,500 on Bring a Trailer. As one of the defining shapes of the American pony car era, the first‑generation Camaro remains compelling for its balance of proportion, mechanical clarity, and accessibility. This example, finished in metallic gray with black hockey‑stick stripes and RS‑style concealed headlamps, underscores how a well‑executed driver‑focused build can amplify the platform’s original character without losing the period silhouette.
Introduced in 1966 for the 1967 model year, the first‑gen Camaro was Chevrolet’s answer to the Mustang and quickly developed an identity of its own—on the street and in Trans‑Am competition. The 1969 update sharpened the stance and detail work, resulting in what many view as the archetypal Camaro. That silhouette, combined with an enormous parts ecosystem and versatile chassis, has made the ’69 especially attractive to enthusiasts looking to blend nostalgia with modern drivability.
This coupe reflects that philosophy with measured upgrades: a 5.3‑liter Vortec V8 with Holley Terminator EFI, Kooks headers, and a dual‑exhaust system with Flowmaster mufflers, backed by a 4L60E four‑speed automatic and a 12‑bolt rear end. CPP power steering, power‑assisted front discs, and 17‑inch U.S. Mags on Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4s round out the chassis. The cabin features TMI front buckets, a center console, air conditioning, period‑style instrumentation, and a Kenwood cassette unit—practical touches that support regular use.
The $49,500 result reflects steady demand for first‑generation Camaros presented with clarity and care. As always, Motive Archive approached this listing with diligence—documenting the configuration, recent service, and distinctive features to help bidders evaluate the car on substance.
