A freshly restored 1969 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS finished in show-stopping Hugger Orange will roll across the auction block at Carlisle Auctions as a showcase car, representing a high point in classic American muscle car design and performance.
This Super Sport/Rally Sport example has been comprehensively restored, blending factory muscle with thoughtful upgrades for modern appeal. Under the cowl-induction hood lies a potent 396-cubic-inch V8, conservatively rated at 375 horsepower, paired with a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission and a 12-bolt rear end with 3.73 gears. Together, the drivetrain offers the kind of visceral performance that made the '69 Camaro a standout among late-’60s pony cars.
Beyond its factory specs, the car boasts refinements from bumper to bumper. All-new sheet metal and tinted glass set the stage for a high-gloss Hugger Orange paint job sealed with clearcoat. Original GM brightwork has been restored, complementing the fresh chrome Rally wheels wrapped in T/A radials. Sequential rear turn signals and an electric headlight conversion modernize the RS package’s signature hideaway headlights without compromising the Camaro’s classic silhouette.
The interior is equally meticulous, featuring a tilt steering column, AM/FM stereo, and new upholstery from top to bottom. Power front disc brakes and power steering ensure confident handling, while the dual exhaust system delivers a satisfying, throaty rumble that underscores the car’s muscle-bound DNA.
From its iconic color and aggressive stance to its updated electrical systems and original-spec powerplant, this 1969 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS is more than a restoration—it’s a tribute to one of the most revered muscle cars in American automotive history, ready to impress both on the street and on the show circuit.
