Chevrolet’s first-generation Camaro facelift would serve the 1969 model year only. While major mechanical components were carried over from 1968, new sheetmetal, except the hood and trunk lid, gave the car a substantially sportier look. New door skins, rear quarter panels and rear valance panel also gave the car a much lower, wider and aggressive look. The RS option comprised a special black-painted grille with concealed headlights and headlight washers, fender striping, simulated rear fender louvers, front and rear wheel opening moldings, black body sill and more.

"This is our mean streak," is how Chevrolet described its new-for-1969 Z28 in selected advertisements. In addition to the model's standard Turbo-Fire V-8 engine, buyers received quick-ratio steering, special suspension, Rally stripes, Z28 emblems and more. Mandatory options included power disc brakes and manual transmission with Hurst floor-mounted shifter.

A full concours-quality rotisserie restoration has brought this vintage Camaro to the finest quality any collector could hope to find. It is presented as a Z28 with RS features, which includes the desirable and visually appealing covered headlights. Originally finished in green, it now wears a stunning black finish with optional and functional cowl hood and both front and rear spoilers. The drivetrain is a 302-cid V-8 engine and a four-speed transmission as prescribed by the Z28 package. Under the hood, everything is in place, down to the factory smog equipment, Delco battery, factory-type markings, plus proper GM hoses and clamps. It is a power brakes, non-power steering version and also has a Delco AM/FM radio. Goodyear bias-ply wide tread GT tires are mounted on all four corners with Rally wheels, while the deluxe black interior features a center console and Rally Pack gauges. Only 140 miles have been driven since completion on this best-of-the-best Camaros.
