1969 Chevrolet Camaro

For the serious vintage racer or collector, opportunities to acquire an authentic and continuously documented historic race car like this rarely come to market. Known throughout vintage racing circles as ''Big Orange,'' this 1969 Chevrolet Camaro represents more than just a beautifully prepared Trans Am-era machine. It represents over five decades of American road racing history, development, competition, and success. Beginning its competition life in the early 1970s, this Camaro was actively campaigned in SCCA A-Sedan and later GT-1 competition at legendary circuits including Watkins Glen International, Lime Rock Park, Sebring International Raceway, and Road America, located just miles from our showroom. Accompanied by eight log books documenting its history from 1972 through 2019, the car carries the kind of provenance that simply cannot be recreated today. Under longtime ownership, ''Big Orange'' became a dominant presence in vintage competition, earning SVRA Group 6 Championships in 2009 and 2010 while also capturing victory in the 2005 HSR Four Hours of Sebring Enduro. Along the way, the car gained national recognition through features in Motor Trend, Vintage Motorsport, Grassroots Motorsports, and Super Chevy, cementing its place as a respected and well-known name within the vintage racing community. Purpose-built and professionally developed throughout its life, the Camaro is powered by a Wegner Automotive Research-built DZ-code small-block V8, originally a 302ci engine that has been professionally bored .030-inch over to 310 cubic inches. Producing a dyno-documented 609 horsepower at 8,200 RPM, the engine is backed by a Jerico dog-ring four-speed transmission, Peterson dry sump system, Penske adjustable suspension, and a fully sorted vintage racing chassis engineered for serious competition use. Following retirement from active competition, the car underwent a comprehensive 2026 recommissioning through Stewart Black Performance, including a new fuel cell bladder, fresh fire system, driveline servicing, hydraulic refresh, ignition servicing, and fresh fluids throughout. With just 3.8 hours on the engine, this Camaro stands ready for its next chapter on track. This is not a replica, tribute, or recently assembled vintage build. This is a genuine historic race car with decades of documented competition history, championship pedigree, and proven eligibility with premier organizations including Sportscar Vintage Racing Association and Historic Sportscar Racing. For the enthusiast seeking an opportunity to own and campaign a truly recognized piece of vintage American road racing history, ''Big Orange'' delivers an experience few race cars can match.
