1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z11 Pace Car Convertible 396 4-Speed

This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS convertible is equipped with the Z11 option, which added the RS and SS packages as well as trim and decals in the style of the Camaro pace car used at the 1969 Indianapolis 500. It said to have remained with the family of the original owner through a refurbishment that was commissioned in 2020. The car is powered by a 396ci Turbo-Jet V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission, and finished in Dover White with orange stripes over orange vinyl and houndstooth cloth upholstery. Equipment includes a Positraction differential, a white convertible soft top, front disc brakes, power-assisted steering, retractable headlights, chrome bumpers, front and rear spoilers, an AM/FM radio, and a heater. Recently acquired selling dealer, this pace car convertible is now offered in Utah with a Virginia title. The Z11 package was introduced in early 1969 to outfit a limited run of production convertibles with trim replicating that of the official pace cars built for the 53rd Indianapolis 500. Fewer than 3,700 cars were sold with the option, all finished in Dover White with Z/28-style stripes in Hugger Orange. The selling dealer tells us this example was refinished in 2020. Exterior features include a white convertible soft top, cowl vents, faux rear fender louvers, orange stripes, orange pinstriping along the sides, retractable headlights, dual side mirrors, front and rear spoilers, and chrome bumpers.
