Given a blank sheet of canvas like a real X11 code Camaro SS, hat would you do? For most of us, he ideal early Camaro isn't much different from this cool black 1969 Chevrolet Camaro coupe: big block, anual transmission, orgeous interior, ll wrapped in a very stock-looking shell. The result is a sinister-looking car that runs even better than it looks.First generation F-bodies have different personalities depending on the color, ut there's no mistaking a car dressed in brutal black. Hunkered down over polished Torque Thrusts, his car sits right, nd the rake only emphasizes the aggressive hood with its built-in velocity stacks and traditional ducktail spoiler out back. Panel gaps are good all around, nd while it's got some signs of use, here's no denying that the look totally works here. It's not perfect, ut it looks aggressive enough to get respect on the street and against that black paint, etails like the gill trim and wheel well moldings really stand out. The headlight doors work correctly and give the car an instantly identifiable face combined with the SS grille. Proper 396 badges are on the flanks, nd they're definitely no joke.Deluxe bucket seats with houndstooth cloth inserts are a welcome change inside, here it looks quite stock. Everything is in good shape, rom the seat covers to the carpets to the headliner, nd the workmanship matches what the factory was doing. Like the exterior, t was done some time ago, o it's not as crisp as it once was, ut if you like the idea of a Camaro being as comfortable as your favorite pair of jeans, his one works rather well. The Hurst cue ball controls a heavy-duty Muncie 4-speed, nd there's no greater joy than running a big block through the gears. The original woodgrained steering wheel and wood appliques have been refinished, eeping with the stock vibe inside, nd the trunk has been finished in correct spatter paint and topped with a reproduction mat.Ultimately, hough, his car is all about power, nd under the hood there's a built 396 cubic inch big block that now cranks out a big dose horsepower (350 if the decal on the air cleaner is to be believed). An Edelbrock intake manifold, iant Holley 4-barrel carburetor to keep it fed, nd an MSD ignition system to light the fires all add up to an engine that makes this Camaro a legitimate threat on the street. Chrome valve covers give it a racy look under the hood, nd the workmanship is tidy and functional, ut clearly built to perform. Underneath, here are a ton of upgrades including power steering and brakes, new Flowmaster dual exhaust system, nd a 12-bolt rear end that doesn't mind the big block torque churning through it. It's been lowered a bit to give it that awesome rake, rouching over staggered Dunlop radials on polished American Racing Torque Thrust wheels.This Camaro has the right look, ig horsepower, nd our favorite interior, o if you want one of the most potent-looking F-bodies we've featured recently, his is it.
