This rare Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS-L48 car with 28 factory options sold on December 12, 1968 to Patricia Murray from Huntington Beach, California .  It was purchased at Fletcher Chevrolet in Encino, California for $4,590.24.   The Chevrolet Corvette & Ford Shelby GT500 sold for the same price in ’69.  The ’69 Z28 sold for less. Only the ’69 Yenko & Zl1 sold for more.

Seller:

Seller states  it was ordered with 28 factory options. Many of which are extremely rare. Not only is this the most highly (Factory) rare optioned ’69 Camaro ever built, it is the most highly rare optioned First Gen period.   Not once has one showed up with this many rare options, all in one package.

Having all these options in a First Gen Camaro is enough to satisfy any First Gen enthusiast, but what really sets this car apart from all the rest is it’s “Special Order Paint” option: GM Paint Code 80; “Powder Blue”. This is the only known ’69 Camaro out of 243,932 built that came off the “ASSEMBLY-LINE” with this “FACTORY” color. In addition, this GM paint code was not available in ’67 or ’68, which adds to the rarity of this GM color.

Options; RS pkg, SS pkg, Special Order Paint, Am/Fm “Blue Light” Stereo, Electric Clock, Center Console, Head Restraints, Deluxe Seat Belts, Speed Warning Device, Auxiliary Lighting Group, Air Conditioning, Tilt Steering Column, Power Windows, Steering Wheel & Dash Wood-grain Accents, Power Steering, Power Brakes, Vanity Mirror, Light Monitoring System, Mirror-Outside Left Remote Control, Space Saver Spare, Front & Rear Bumper Guards, Spoiler, Vinyl Roof, Tinted Glass (original), Stripe Delete, & SS Chevelle Type Wheel, Spoiler, Guards- Door Edge.
