The 1969 Camaro Z/28 is hardly a rare car—over 20,000 were built. However, some stand out more than others depending on options and equipment. Found a Z with stripe-delete? We’d say that’s quite unusual. Four-wheel disc brakes? That’ll jack up the value by a lot. And what about a special-order color? Depends on the color.
When you glance at this Carolina Blue Z/28, it may not be your first choice if you were going to special-order a Z/28 in a non-regular production color, but Chevy folks will pay a premium for this color. If you’re from North Carolina, you may recognize it as a color for one of your universities, making it popular with folks who didn’t mind shelling out a few more dollars for their car to be painted like a UNC gown. There are several documented Chevys from the late-1960s/early-1970s special-ordered in this color.
This Z/28 also stands out for one other reason: It was ordered with the dealer-installed cross-ram manifold with 2×4 carbs. It’s one thing to have ’em on your Camaro, but to have it documented from the dealership make this Z/28 a breed apart.
With only 46,432 miles and tons of documentation, this is one of the more interesting Z/28s built in 1969. It’s not a COPO or L78/L89 SS 396 convertible, but the more special 1969 Z/28s have been crossing the six-figure threshold with some regularity lately; Mecum has estimated this one hitting $250-400.000. Sounds outrageous? GM Authority thinks so, but who are we to judge? Stay tuned for Mecum’s Spring Classic 2014 at Indy on May 16th and let’s see what happens.

In my opinion the 69 Z/28 is still the best Camaro ever. Buuutt, as pretty as this one is, I think you have more money than brains to pay $250+ for this car.
