BBBenny's Bitchin 1969 Big Block Camaro
 

Hi Bruce, here’s the write up on the 69. This Camaro was sold new from Mc Graw Chevrolet in Troy, Ohio, on 7-7-69, to Ester Burros. She was 60 years old when she bought this car, a 1969 RS/SS big block Camaro I even have the salesman’s name that sold the car. His name was Phil Mc Nally. I also have a picture of her in the car. She owned this car until 1988, then sold it to a friend of theirs.

This car really is some what of a survivor with one repaint about 20 years ago. It has the original sheet metal, all original interior including floor mats and carpet. It has the original trunk mat with the date on back. It has the original vinyl top, too.

The car came with docs, POP and with a key in the wrapper from GM and the certificate of title from the Motor Vehicle Department of Ohio. The second owner was asked by Nicky Wright who did car articles to use this car for a comparison with the 1969 Trans Am Firebird. So, its in the book “Pontiac Firebird”, with a red car on the cover.

Here’s the options on the car: RS package, Deluxe interior, Gauges. Vinyl top, Rally rims, 396-325 hp. It’s the all original factory drive train It has no spoilers. It also has a Turbo 400 and 3:08 12 bolt open differential. The car was never taken apart. there is 39,000 documented original miles on the car. It’s Fathom Green with a black top. One of the rims still has a factory chalk mark on it.

It’s is a very original unmolested 1969 big block!

Thanks
bbbenny

Ok who's gonna rip on him for the color? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Benny I love it. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Re: BBBenny's Bitchin 1969 Big Block Camaro
 

Love the no-spoiler look. Amazing that the trunk lid has survived 37 years without being attacked by a Makita-wielding rear spoiler enthusiast like most.

2006, the year of the green cars.....

Re: BBBenny's Bitchin 1969 Big Block Camaro
 

Great car. Makes you wonder what would make a 60 year old woman decide it's time to buy a brand new big-block Camaro instead of a more sedate small block or straight 6?

Re: BBBenny's Bitchin 1969 Big Block Camaro
 

That is one cool car.. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: BBBenny's Bitchin 1969 Big Block Camaro

Terrific story. Nice ride. I'll bet she cruises like a 5 speed at highway speeds with those 3.08s.

Re: BBBenny's Bitchin 1969 Big Block Camaro
 

Now we are talkin BB! This car is even nicer in person. Still has all the original color coded vacuum lines, screws and brackets. Only draw back I can see is that Benny owns it and not ME. And besides he really doesn't have it out of that heated garage, that is just a back drop. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif BBBBenny and the Jets! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: BBBenny's Bitchin 1969 Big Block Camaro
 

Maybe it should be parked on the yellow brick road. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Re: BBBenny's Bitchin 1969 Big Block Camaro
 

Better yet, Parked in my driveway. I will take it to church and to get a paper on Sunday's. On sunny days https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif I would even let my wife take it to work. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif woops not that one its this one https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif forgot it was a slush box. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: BBBenny's Bitchin 1969 Big Block Camaro
 

Rumor has it that Benny covers his cars with "electric blankets"...in the heated garage!

Same thing that makes the 55 year old guys on this site buy C6 Corvettes instead of the Buick LeSabres they were otherwise destined for: Good taste, a young heart, and an occasional need for speed.

Grandma's have lead feet too!! Mine had a 73 Pontiac Grand Am with a 455 in it. I can remember being with her in the early 80s when she was in her 60s. Every once in a while https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif. She's 86 this year and still drives a 3rd gen Camaro with a 305 in it! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif
