The 1969 Chevrolet Camaro was part of the first-generation 'F-Body' and by this point in history, had truly come of age, with handsome styling, huge option lists, brilliant racing success, and strong showroom sales. The new 1969 body was lower and longer in appearance, measuring 166 inches in length with a 112-inch wheelbase. Body styles included a sport coupe and convertible. The Rally Sport option came with concealed headlights, retractable headlamp doors with a triple-slot design, and a black grille. The Z/28 and Super Sport (SS) packages had the 'Super Scoop' hood.

Standard equipment included a heater, defroster, Strato-Bucket front seats, all-vinyl interior, Astro Ventilation system, left-hand outside rearview mirror, front shoulder safety belts, and a six-cylinder engine rated at 140 horsepower. The standard V8 brought horsepower to 210 hp. The ZL-1 option had the 427 cubic-inch V8 engine with aluminum block construction and produced 425 horsepower.
