1969 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS 350 Convertible — Blue with White Interior, 350/300hp V8, Loaded with UpgradesWhy This Car Is SpecialThe 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS 350 Convertible sits at an interesting intersection in muscle car history. The first-generation Camaro ran from 1967 through 1969, and most enthusiasts agree that the 1969 model year represents the high point of that generation — it got a restyled body with a longer, lower, and more aggressive look than the 1967 and 1968 cars, while retaining the same basic platform. Chevrolet sold 243,085 Camaros in 1969, making it the most popular year of the first generation by a wide margin. Of those, convertibles represented a much smaller slice of production, and SS-optioned convertibles with factory air conditioning and power accessories were an even more select group.The VIN on this car decodes to a 1969 Camaro convertible (body code 67, indicating the open-top body style) built at the Norwood, Ohio assembly plant, with the 350ci/300hp V8 and automatic transmission. The 'SS' designation in the VIN confirms this car left the factory as a genuine Super Sport, not a badge-added clone.What makes this particular 1969 Camaro SS 350 Convertible worth a close look is the combination of a correct, numbers-relevant drivetrain with a list of thoughtfully chosen upgrades that improve the driving experience without destroying the car's character. The undercarriage is clean, the body is straight, and someone has clearly spent time and money getting this car right from the ground up.Features List- 350ci V8, 300 horsepower- Turbo-Hydramatic 3-speed automatic transmission- RS/SS Trim Package- Convertible body style with power top- GM 12-bolt rear axle with multi-leaf springs- Global West frame connectors- Power front disc brakes with power brake booster- Power steering- Factory air conditioning- Astro Ventilation system- SS steering wheel- Bucket seats, front and rear- Factory center console- Goodmark steel cowl induction hood- Detroit Speed electric headlight kit- Front and rear spoilers- Rally wheels with BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires- Dual exhaust- Aftermarket stereo- Chrome bumpers, front and rear- SS grille badge- Clean undercarriageMechanicalThe 350/300hp small-block V8 was the standard SS engine in 1969. At the time, Chevrolet offered the SS package with either the 350 at 300hp or the 396 big-block in several states of tune. The 350 had a reputation for being a more balanced choice — it was lighter up front than the 396, which made the car easier to handle, and the small-block's powerband was well-suited to street driving. Backed by the Turbo-Hydramatic automatic, this is a car you can drive anywhere without drama.Beyond the drivetrain, the real story here is what has been done to the chassis and suspension. Global West frame connectors are welded in under the car, which is a well-regarded structural improvement for any unibody first-gen Camaro. These connectors tie the front subframe to the rear frame rails, significantly reducing body flex — something that matters on any unibody car, and especially on a convertible that lacks the rigidity of a coupe's roof structure. Anyone who has driven a first-gen Camaro convertible without frame connectors back-to-back with one that has them installed will notice the difference immediately.The rear axle is a GM 12-bolt unit with multi-leaf springs, which is the correct and desirable setup for this application. The 12-bolt was stronger than the 10-bolt used in many of the lighter-duty Camaro applications and has long been the preferred unit among first-gen owners. Power front disc brakes provide confident stopping, and the power steering makes the car easy to maneuver at parking lot speeds without dulling the feedback at highway speeds.The Goodmark steel cowl hood is a quality reproduction piece that fits and functions correctly, and the Detroit Speed electric headlight kit replaces the vacuum-operated
