Looking to Find a 1969 Camaro For Sale This Year?

By Mike Piston

1969 Is the final production year for the 1st Generation Camaro. It is highly collectible, and therefore it is becoming increasingly difficult to find a 1969 Camaro for sale every year. When looking for a 1969 Camaro for sale or any other muscle car there are some good resources online to help with research. Many of the new sites have very up-to-date lists of thousands of muscle cars available, your 1969 Camaro for sale could be one of them! Finding the perfect 1969 Camaro for sale, will take some work, here is a very brief history to get you started.

The Famous COPO

Fred Gibb designed and persuaded GM to produce the COPO in 1968 The agreement was that Fred Gibb had to produce 50 of these "Central Office Production Offer" engine or COPO for shortIn the US there were only 19 of these cars actually produced with the COPO engine.

69 Was A Great Year For The Camaro

In 1969, the largest engine GM would offer was the 6.6L. The 1969 Camaro for sale was a much safer car. There was a loop hole. Sometimes dealers would install the 7 liter in a 1969 Camaro for sale Every time a dealer sold a Camaro with the larger engine, GM would add a COPO with the numbers 9560 and 9561 Out of the 1015 of these cars made, there were only 69 of the 9560 COPO which included the 7 L ZL-1 engine

Differences in the years

For the most part the 1969 version of the Camaro stayed the same. The grill was changed and the headlights moved farther back.The rear valence was modified, giving the car a more attractive posture. The last time a 1969 Camaro for sale was produced was in Dec. of 1969. The last of the first generation.

I hope this was of help, there is still so much to know about this great car before finding your first 1969 Camaro for Sale.
