The Story

Few Camaros are as instantly recognizable or as collectible as the 1969 Indianapolis 500 Pace Car Edition. Finished in the iconic Dover White with Hugger Orange stripes and the distinctive orange houndstooth interior, the ’69 Pace Car package represented the pinnacle of Chevrolet’s muscle-era styling and performance. This example is even more desirable thanks to its 4-speed manual transmission and 396/325 HP big-block V-8 engine—one of the most sought-after drivetrain combinations offered in these special-edition cars.

Powered by the L35 396 CI V-8 rated at 325 HP, this RS/SS pace car edition delivers strong big-block performance with the unmistakable torque and sound that made these cars legendary. The SS package adds heavy-duty cooling, dual exhaust, power front disc brakes and upgraded suspension components, while the RS package includes concealed headlamps, a unique grille and trim, revised tail lights with back-up lamps below the bumper, and the signature exterior detailing that sets RS cars apart. The interior features the iconic orange houndstooth bucket seats, woodgrain accents, a center console and full instrumentation. As a Z11 Pace Car convertible, it showcases the correct power-operated white top, front and rear spoilers, Rally wheels with white-letter tires, and proper Indy 500 graphics that defined this limited-production model.

This special car has previously been part of two Camaro Pace Car collections. Highly collectible, exceptionally presented and equipped with the desirable big-block/4-speed combination, this 1969 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS Pace Car Edition represents one of the most iconic and significant Camaros ever built—an ideal centerpiece for any world-class muscle car collection.
