Love the front end styling

[@tejastiger61]

Wish they would have shown it with the top down.....

[@edstransitscott9186]

Kevin, you do a great job narrating these, love the car

[@CJ-ib2jy]

A friend of mine in the '70's had an SS/RS with the L-78 396 but I liked his a lot better - with the red paint and white stripe kit - and the same hide away headlights. I am not a fan of green cars but of the ones I've seen, this one is the best looking.

My dream car - All the right stuff

[@williamboardman9476]

LOADED convertible. Cars loaded as this likely LATE production, as GM parts suppliers had strikes during 69. First rear window defrost I've seen on a convertible. Bumper guards...Headlight washers very rare too. "Traction fluid" option sprayed chemical onto rear tires...rarer still.

Black tail light panel was not part of RS package. Only big block Camaros got the black tail light panel. All others were body color.

[@BreizhVince]

You're right sir !

[@gerryricker7812]

ThIs 69 Camaro convertible RS/ SS 396 I love the colors it is a very Beautiful car

[@scottbaker8530]

I had this car in 2002 found it at a car show in Tenn. Was Red with white hockey stripe white conv. Top and interior. But a real 396 RS SS automatic , it broke down Woodward cruise with my wife and infant, in the car...wife made me sell it..lol.... daughters are grown now.... If any one out there has a 396 conv. Automatic RS SS ... i would be interested in buying it...

[@20098818]

Why is the ss badge on the grill upside down?

[@quincee3376]

No.

[@itsflamezzz9938]

My dad owned the exact car used in this video when he was younger

[@troyvan6952]

Burn the tires completely off...... yes Kevin, good idea!

[@radioguy1620]

I,m guessing GM was planning on using this body style for two years but when they saw the Mach 1 Mustangs and how popular they were they went right back to the drawing board and it takes a while to come up with a whole new car , thus the delay.

[@boopoopies]

The Norwalk plant went on strike right before the production was scheduled start of that 70 Camaro

[@371francis]

As always, an awesome video of an awesome car!

[@kenzaccaria7763]

I wish you would tell 1/4 time and speed as tested for each muscle car

[@kevinfrawley6098]

Started following this channel a month ago.. You describe these cars with such precise detail. This is a awesome car. Not my favorite year camaro. It has all the options I want. I argued for years with a friend that there is such a thing as rs/ss package

[@davidgraham2673]

You could get the Rally Sport package on any Camaro. Zl-1, Z-28, SS, Base Camaro. The higher package options changed the motor, and so they took precedence in badging. It you look at 69 Z-28s with the Rally Sport option, the have a Rally Sport badge on the front fenders just behind the tires near the door.

[@easycheddy]

keep these great vids coming

[@MuscleCarOfTheWeek]

We will, thanks!

[@quincee3376]

Nice

[@MahDogg1424]

Sweet!!!

[@dannyroggemann5821]

The 396 came in 3 different variations 325hp 350hp and 375 hp was a bad motor scooter...

[@richardtristan7424]

I would to see a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro L78 against a 70 Cuda 440 six pack. Please make it happen. My son is a Mopar fan and I am a Chevuy guy.

[@jeremythompson9895]

I'm a Ford guy but when it comes to muscle cars, Mopar is King. I'd take a 70 440+6 Cuda over a 69 L78 Camaro any day. Just my opinion. Beautiful Camaro though

[@jeffreycarter3066]

Great info. Thanks for sharing

[@MuscleCarOfTheWeek]

Glad you liked it!

[@michaelgreenslade2161]

What is a 12 bolt rear end?

[@V8_screw_electric_cars]

Why would you put smog pump

[@duwanemcknight8842]

Concourse restore

[@malibuconv1968]

California required them

[@markfonseca4641]

That is sick!

[@MrWinn]

You're welcome.

[@bigdaddy9864]

the reason they did the strip that way was for final assembly the strip could be lined up right

[@RodKotiga]

Any idea of how many 69 L-78 RS/SS Convertibles were made. I heard 16 but that seems too low 🤷‍♂️
