Title: Opinions on 1969 SS
Post by: Brew14u on June 10, 2022, 03:40:17 PM

I have been looking for a 1969 SS 396 for several years to use for a daily driver, as I don't drive my car lot and nothing new thrills me as much.  My preference is for originality.  I would be interested in opinions on the one listed here https://www.bigiron.com/Lots/1969ChevroletCamaroSS.  The VIN is 124379N693767 which seems to align with the trim tag 09E assuming both are original.  The engine code is 0723JB, which would be about 2 months before the 5th week of Sept body build date code and correct for a 4-speed.  It still appears to have the original smog equipment, although the master cylinder looks to be changed.  I doubt I will pursue this one, but I keep looking at the ad as it checks most of the boxes for me.  Any information or opinions on this car would be appreciated.

Looks like the real deal. Has a poor re-paint.

From data, looks like Tonawanda built a number of 396 engines in late July to cover the extended '69 production run. Not unusual to see late July dates, particularly on manual trans engines.

That was one I was looking at. It was nice to see nobody put spoilers or a ducted hood even though the paint isn't that great. look like one to have fun with as it is. Price isn't tooooo bad. like the interiors with colour...Joe

Engine stamping looked good. That was a great buy

I was runner up.  I hope the winner in South Dakota keeps it original and doesn't flip it.
