Is the 1969 Camaro SS a BETTER muscle car than a Ford Mustang GT?

Old school muscle will never be forgotten. These are so sick

The model year 69 is hands down the best Camaro ever made.

That look is legendary

Hey Joe, those "Fog Lamps" are the turn signals, no fog lamps were available. ------ Camaro's and Chevelle's were the beasts back in those years, you could get the 396 Big Block or the small block chevy 302 with 2 4BBL carberators (Z28 302 V8 Cross Ram Dual 4 BBL Carbs) 290 hp. There were 4 396's available - official 1969 Camaro 396 big-block options were the L34 (325 hp), L35 (350 hp), L78 (375 hp, iron heads), and L89 (375 hp with aluminum heads). -------- That shifter was called a (Horseshoe or Lift Gate) shfter for the 350 and 400 Turbohydromatic and lots of guys would put (shift kits) in the transmission for faster shifts. I owned a 1970 Camaro SS with 400 automatic and this same shifter and later I bought a 1970 Chevelle SS with 396 and 4 spd Muncie (rock crusher) manual trans. Both very fast and fun to drive. Joe - To answer your question (the Camaro was GM's direct response to Ford creating the Mustang) so you are probably right that had it not been for the Mustang we wouldn't have ever had the Camaro.

The 1969 Camaro SS was the first muscle car I fell in love with. It was featured in Asphalt Urban GT for Nintendo DS The car was black with flame decals on the sides

My favorite year Camaro, awesome man. I showed up to a local meet over 10 years ago with a 94 Supra, and it was nice. But when I saw a Candy Apple 69 Camaro, I was in shock and awe of that Camaro.

The best looking cars were back in the day…it’s when people took pride in what they made…different world today…thank you sir for another great video..

If I had the resources this would definitely be in my dream car warehouse. My wish list is long!

I love this car. Growing up in Potomac, Maryland there were a lot of Camaro SS and Chevelle SS cars. Lots of noise and burnouts.

I can listen to that sound all freakin day, thank you Joe Bro for this awesome experience

My dad was a camaro man, he wasn't rich and only got what he could afford ( especially when i was born), ended up getting a 68' firebird in orange and needed alot of TLC tinkered with it for YEARS, he took the badges off and slapped "Camaro" on it, no one knew the difference until he told them and they saw that infamous blue firebird symbol on the side windows, we eventually painted it white with black race stripes on it and we weren't pros, definitely wasn't showroom quality like this one but he didn't care yet always admire the ones that were but best believe he always turned heads, even won an award one time from a car show he went at to his surprise, he never got to have a quality classic like this one and be fortunate Mr. Joe if he was there with you, he'd have wrestled the keys out of your hands to drive it, thank you for reviewing this beautiful relic the way it deserves and going ON THROTTLE it reminded me of the good ole days when I was a kid with him 9/11/13 RIP pops. If your curious the car is still in our family, sold it to my uncle ( one of my mom's brothers who always wanted it) several years ago which he fixed up, why you ponder? Because much to the dismay of my pops, I became a charger man 😉 not that he didn't like other classic cars anyway.

Proper American muscle car V-8 exhaust sound! I ordered a '69 Mustang Fastback with a 351 4-barrel 4-speed from the factory in Nov '68 - $3006 out the door.

Joe, your uncontrollable laughter when accelerating says it all...great video!

Joe, you are the Absolute Best ! My first car that i bought when was 15, '69 Camaro..complete piece of junk, lol...My Father worked on it, countless hours..Bless Him ! Thanks for the great memories!

Excellent car. Still for me I will take a 70-73 split bumper one. Or 70-74 cuda

Twinkies back in 69 were twice as big as the Twinkies today. My favorite was the old banana flip.

Thank you for this retro review. These are the cars I grew up with. Today's cars can outperform the cars of the 60s and 70s but they are still appreciated for all they did back in the day.

Doesn't get much more classic than that. Beautiful. Thanks for bringing that review.

Speaking of the 60s, let's add Cream (starring Eric Clapton), Big Brother And The Holding Company (starring Janis Joplin), and The Amboy Dukes (starring Uncle Ted!). 😊🎸

I love it !! Thanks Joe……really enjoyed that one. All the late sixties and very early seventies muscle cars were amazing…….before the emission crap kicked in.
