This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro convertible, featuring the Z11 option, includes the RS and SS packages along with trim and decals mirroring the Camaro pace car from the 1969 Indianapolis 500. Acquired by the seller in 1989 and subsequently refurbished, it sports a 350ci V8 engine paired with a three-speed Turbo Hydramatic automatic transmission. The exterior is finished in white with orange stripes, complemented by reupholstered orange vinyl and houndstooth cloth interior. Key features include a Positraction differential, white convertible soft top, 14″ Rally wheels, front disc brakes, power steering, concealed headlights, chrome bumpers, front and rear spoilers, an AM/FM radio, and a cabin heater. The car is offered with service records, refurbishment photos, spare parts, a car cover, and a clean Florida title in the seller’s name.
Introduced in early 1969, the Z11 package was designed for a limited run of production convertibles with trim replicating the official pace cars of the 53rd Indianapolis 500. With fewer than 3,700 units sold, all were finished in Dover White with Hugger Orange stripes. This particular car was refinished in 1990, featuring a replacement white convertible soft top, orange stripes, retractable headlights, front and rear spoilers, and chrome bumpers, as detailed in close-up photos in the gallery.
The 14″ Rally wheels are fitted with F70-14 Goodyear Polyglas tires. The car also includes power steering, power-assisted front disc brakes, and rear drum brakes. Under the current ownership, the shocks and rear leaf springs were replaced.
Inside, the cabin features front bucket seats and a rear bench reupholstered in orange vinyl and houndstooth cloth. The carpeting and trunk mat have been replaced, and the interior also includes a center console, lap belts, a cabin heater, and an AM/FM radio installed by the current owner.
Instrumentation consists of a 120-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and center console-mounted gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, voltage, and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer reads 25k miles, with approximately 11k miles added under the current ownership, though total mileage is unknown.
The 350ci V8, originally rated at 300 horsepower, is equipped with a four-barrel carburetor. Recent updates in 2024 include an aftermarket radiator, and replacements of the fuel pump, power steering hose, oil pan gasket, and battery. The gallery contains a handwritten list of stamping and casting numbers.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a three-speed Turbo Hydramatic automatic transmission and an optional Positraction differential. The transmission was rebuilt in 2004, and aftermarket mufflers were added in 2024.
