This 1969 Camaro SS barn find was discovered in the Northeastern United States by the Backyard Barn Finds YouTube channel, and it’s packed with clues that prove its authenticity.
A recent video by Backyard Barn Finds explores the ins-and-outs of this muscle car barn find, including uncovering original components and rare features reserved for the Super Sport models. The once big-block powered machine is adorned with the classic hockey stripe down each side that, from the factory, transitioned from paint on the fenders to decals stuck on the door. It also sports a blacked-out grille featured only on SS models, plus a factory Daytona Yellow painted Endura front bumper, a rare option in 1969.
Despite the fact that this ‘69 Camaro SS is missing its original big block V8, the car’s blacked out tail pan is a feature exclusive to big-block Super Sport models. It also retains the original big-block motor mounts under the small block engine, plus a big-block crossmember, the original heater box, and provisions for smog equipment.
In the below video, Backyard Barn Finds also points to the muscle car’s early-production T3 headlights and a rear spoiler with the often seen “wavy” texture characteristic of the older OEM part. A closer look reveals factory tape marks still visible beneath the paint. A peek under the car further confirms its Super Sport designation with a 12-bolt rear end and factory-correct leaf springs.
Inside, the original X-code marking on the rear seat provides yet another clue to the classic Camaro’s factory big-block, while metal-trimmed pedals and center console suggest it was equipped for a four-speed manual transmission.
The Chevy Camaro is certainly in barn find condition, with rust and wear throughout, but the muscle car’s original components and SS designation makes it a worthy candidate for restoration, wouldn’t you agree?
