1969 Camaro RS/Z28 Barn Find
When was the last time you saw a 1969 Camaro RS/Z28 in this shape? How about in a Major Car Show?
When we first saw this car at the 2010 Forge Muscle Car Show we knew we had to get some photos. After all this is one rare Camaro. It is a 1969 RS/Z28 with the soft front bumper and only has 36,000 miles. Unfortunately, the car was parked in 1975 and isn’t in the best shape! It is mostly original according to the owner, Robert Hurst. The tires are obviously new and a few other parts were changed out back in the day just as most of us would have done but nothing major.
So here you have a low miles 1969 Camaro RS/Z28 and it is rusted beyond belief. What would you do with it? I can’t even figure out if I should post this in the Barn Find pages, our Feature Car pages, Project Car pages or simply call it a Rat Rod Muscle Car! It is surely an intriguing find.
The old Z28 302 doesn’t look so mean now does it?
What would you do with this car if you found it? I know a 1969 Camaro RS/Z28 can bring big money but I don’t think this car can be restored for what such cars are selling for today. Given that, how much would you pay for this car? I want to hear from you!
Not the RS/Z28 I dream about!
Check out the original tire and jack under the car.
Those new tires and wheels certainly look out of place.
See the hole in the floorboard?

Almost forgot, if anyone is seriously interested I am asking 49K. California car. 424-903-9680
What a find. I’d leave it as is and show it just like your doing. Pretty cool.
Battleship gray primer and two passes over it with Clearcoat will prevent further rusting out.. Keep the body original and tune up the stock 302.. I had one and it would shake the dew off the hood with the factory cam!!
Be worth it to restore and keep in the family another 50 years
Love to see ORIGINAL cars can still be found. I would totally inspect the car and repair only the bad areas, keeping it original as possible. I have a ’69 plain jane that’s in worse condition. I’ve had it for 20+ years and haven’t had the time or funds to fix it like it should be. But I don’t believe in destroying originals, that’s why I still have mine. Good luck in whatever you do with this precious piece of american muscle. By the way do you still have the car and is it still forsale?
She’s a super model! what a car, if I got my hands on this baby I would restore her to her original sheen and better . I’ve been looking for a car like this for about a year. I’m willing to pay a couple hundred for her but not in the thousands. but she is like my soul car so i’m willing to do a lot to restore her. love at first sight
That car is doable, and it’s not hacked at all, which in my opinion is the most important thing. I would make it drivable, and that’s it. Then I would drive it. Because what good is a car if your not going to drive it. Someone will probably buy it sooner or later, good luck.
wow i can see this truly restored and referbished. nice find 🙂
Anyone know what they’re asking for it?
I WOULD GET IT RUNNING, REPLACE WHAT EVER IT NEEDED TO MAKE IT DEPENDABLE AND RIIIIIIIIIIIDE
I’D JUST LIKE TO BE THE GUY WHO WALKED IN THE BARN TO SEE IT FOR SALE AND TRYING TO KEEP A STRAIGHT FACE AND NOT SHOWING I WAS NOT LEAVING THIS BARN WITHOUT IT
I would keep it because I’ve never had a Camaro like that before I’ve never had the money to buy one so I would definitely keep it
I would put the owner in prison!!
I would find some other barn finds of many makes and models of muscle cars…. Keep them all in at least running and driving conditions, but keep the patina on all of them and show them at cars shows as a “barn find package”…. Show them all together and have there stories and history posted on a board by each car…. Maybe add some junk near the cars, kinda like “the scene of the find”, to add vision to the story…. Make it look like you just found each car in a barn….
