How to buy a 1969 Camaro
Are you a complete vintage car enthusiast? Do you love the look and the classic, old-world feel of the older generation cars? Are you especially into the sporty, racing models like the Chevrolet Camaro? Well, the first generation models of that car, which came out in the years between 1967 and 1969, are a real American classic. The last year of their production, 1969, saw the introduction of a model that even today are sought after by car aficionados.

Of course, the fabulous horsepower and Big Block engine that those first generation Camaros had, is also another huge draw for car enthusiasts, especially those who feel the need for speed.
The 1969 Camaro came with two types of specs: a 1969 COPO 9561/L72 427 cu, with a 7 liter, V 8 425 hp (317 kW) at 5600 rpm, 460 lb·ft (624 N·m) at 4000 rpm and a 1969 COPO 9560/ZL1 427 cu in (7.0 L) V8 430 hp (321 kW) at 5200 rpm, 450 lb·ft (610 N·m) at 4400 rpm – impressive specs indeed!
