Overview
This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 coupe was built at the Norwood, Ohio assembly plant and finished from the factory in Glacier Blue (Code 53) over a Dark Blue Deluxe Interior (Code 716). The car carries the X22 trim designation, identifying it as a Super Sport 396 equipped coupe with the associated SS exterior and trim package. The car spent its entire life in Indiana and accumulated just 57,000 original miles. It remained a one-owner car in Anderson, Indiana for decades before being acquired by the current owner. A comprehensive restoration was completed a few years ago by Car Vault Restorations, returning the car to its original factory color scheme and presentation while maintaining the integrity of the car’s original components.
Drivetrain
Power comes from the original numbers-matching 396 cubic-inch big-block V8 with 325 horsepower, which remains with the car. The engine bay was restored as part of the refurbishment and presents with factory-correct finishes and components appropriate for an SS-equipped Camaro. The SS 396 package was the top performance offering for the Camaro in 1969, delivering the unmistakable torque and sound of Chevrolet’s big-block era.
Exterior
The body was refinished in its correct Glacier Blue, a period color that highlights the aggressive styling of the 1969 Camaro. The SS appearance package includes the distinctive:
• SS hood treatment
• Correct badging and trim
• Performance-oriented stance
The restoration sought to maintain the car’s factory appearance while presenting it in excellent show and driver condition.
Interior
The cabin features the Dark Blue Deluxe interior (Code 716), which includes upgraded trim panels, bright accents, and the distinctive deluxe seat pattern used on higher-option Camaros of the era.
Interior finishes were refreshed during the restoration and reflect the car’s factory configuration.
History
• Built at Norwood, Ohio
