Among the cars listed for sale this week, this 1969 Chevy Camaro SS stands out—its owner claims it’s a package you won’t come across very often.
This Camaro remains completely original, and the seller emphasizes that it’s still very much a driver. In his Craigslist listing, he notes that “you can drive it every day.” He’s ready to part ways with it for the full asking price, though finding someone willing to pay that amount could prove difficult.
The 1969 model year brought major updates across the entire Camaro range, with Chevrolet improving several key mechanical elements. Buyers could equip their cars with four-wheel disc brakes, and the Z/28 version came fitted with a Hurst shifter.
The RS remained a top choice that year, with 37,774 units sold, while the SS trailed not far behind at just over 34,000. Meanwhile, demand for the Z/28 surged past the 20,000 mark.
This particular Camaro carries the sought-after SS package, but what truly makes it appealing is its condition—ideal for a serious collection. It would be helpful to know more about its ownership history and any work performed over the years, but the car certainly presents well.
According to the seller, it “drives how a 1969 should drive when new,” and that claim doesn’t seem far-fetched. It checks the essential boxes of an authentic ’69 driver. If you’re interested, your best move is to contact the seller and schedule an in-person look.
Details about the powertrain are limited, though both the engine and the 3-speed transmission are said to remain in stock form. The motor starts, runs, and drives as it should, but there’s no confirmation on whether the drivetrain has ever been rebuilt. It likely received some level of attention at some point, though having a trusted mechanic inspect the engine bay is recommended before negotiating.
Camaro SS models from 1969 rarely show up in this kind of shape, and the mileage makes it even more notable. The odometer shows 39,000 miles, which the seller believes to be original.
Price will likely be the sticking point. A Camaro in this condition doesn’t come cheap, and the seller is well aware—he’s asking $49,000. Whether that number is fair is up to you, so feel free to chime in with your thoughts.
Seeing the car in person is essential, and the seller says he has plenty of 4K footage you can review before heading out to Palm Springs for a closer look.
If you’re interested in buying it, the car is listed on Craigslist—just run a quick search and you’ll find it.
