WE now have a 69' Camaro :)
Yeah, $5k, 51744 original miles, perfect interior. has some rust, and needs some engine work. But we think its a number matching car, not sure how to find out though. Pix:

nice car. looks like a great roject.
a numbers matching car means that all of the serial numbers match the vin number under the windshield. there will be a serial number either stamped or sticker on the door,engine,trans and possibly firewall. the numbers wont match the VIN completely though, depending on the make and model the serail numbers could be any part of the VIN code but all of the serial numbers will be identical. the trans numbers should be stamped on the drivers side near the trans fluid pan. the engine numbers should be stamped on the drivers side of the engine block under the header/manifold. the dorr numbers should be on a sticker on the inside of the door jam. there are other serial numbers located throughout the car but these three are the ones that dealers and collectors look for to tell them that nothing has been swapped out from the car. also check the VIN tags letters for possible factory options. i cant remember where it was because i havnt used it in awhile but theres a site you can reference your VIN against and it will tell you if it was a factory options cars or baseline model. maybe one of the other fellas with an older project going would know the site deffinately keep us posted on this please. that cars is the bees knees. Cheers, Bondo

Another place to check for the engine numbers, is on the back of the motor, where the trans and motor meet, drivers side, there is the casting number. You can also tell what day-time shift that motor was put together too, with the 'clock' stamped into the block.
The VIN at that time will tell you what model it was, what engine, possibly the trani, date it was made, and what plant it was, and sometimes more. Theres plenty of sites devoted to the Camaro, you'll easily be able to find a decoder. VINs back then don't follow any standard form like they do today. But, you can get lots of info from it. With my Chevy, I learned it was built in November of '69, in St Louis Also check for the options sticker, might be in the glove box I would imagine. It tells you EVERY SINGLE option added to the car from the factory. SWEET ride, does look like a good survivor. 5k is a pretty **** good price, these guys are getting expensive fast. Keep us posted man.

hmmm, very nice. i say gloss white with tenessee orange stripes (for the color, i hate that team). as for the engine, don't go too crazy. maybe refurbish what works and buy aftermarket versions of what doesn't. just my 2 cents.

Ive been doing some research about the car on and off all day now. The motor is not the original motor. The motor in it is either a 1977 or 1982 305ci and that motor was born on my birthday in either 77 or 82. The car was originally daytona yellow and was built at the Norwood, Ohio on the First week of December in 69'. It still has factory interior and thats in great shape just with a couple of tears in the drivers seat.

- if the numbers match keep it that way!. it will sell for a ton if the numbers match. even if you dont plan on flipping it the value of the car will be high if they match.
-my neighbor flipps old cars alot but always has small troubles with the numbers.

For $5k? Man, I'd kill for an '86 Porsche 944 for $5k, but this is a '69 Camaro! Fix 'er up to showroom and factory condition and you could have enough money to buy... Uhm... A lot of things
Lucky SOB! |

That's a bad car. That car in my area would bring big money in that condition. If you want to find out what options the car has...look for the broadcast sheet. That piece of paper is like gold. Check under the seats(between the springs and the foam, or under the rear package shelf. Good luck with the car.
