Camaros are alive and well in Sweden :P

Thought some might want to see a couple of cars in Sweden that a Team Camaro member posted. Notice where they were built and the SunRoof Option!!! That Blue 69 RS/SS Convt is Sharp

I see a Berger shirt.

[DarrenX33]

Wow that blue 69 RS convert is beautiful. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

And it looks like that endura bumper fits pretty well. Nice car.

[Canucklehead]

Ive seen those endura bumpers before. Are those a factory option and if so they must be rare?

[DarrenX33]

Yes endura bumper was an option. I'm not exactly sure how rare they were as far as numbers. What is rare is finding a repo that fits correctly.

Charley,

The guy with the Berger t-shirt is the same one (me) who put your two Daytona Yellow ZL1 Camaros on two different covers of Camaro Club Sweden’s club magazine; I think you got your copies from Pat Lewis. I guess I can’t lurk around here anymore as I’m caught on film. The guy who took the pictures at the Pre-Summer Meet in Sweden this past weekend is now the editor of the club magazine.

I have been around Camaros since 1980 and until 2003, when I stepped down; I had been the president of Camaro Club Sweden for 17 years and also the editor during the same time period. Although I so far haven’t had the chance to own a Supercar, I have owned a couple of big block cars though; they always have been of a great interest to me. I may be a Camaro guy at heart but there are so many other great cars and this site sure is a great way to support this big interest of mine.

Wow. That is a lot of Camaros in Sweeden!

[1LE]

There are about 5000 of them and all year models are represented. No Yenko or ZL1 Camaros are registered here, last checked in November 2002. There are of course some non registered Camaros, mostly race cars, who haven’t been checked. There is one 69 Convertible who has a VIN right after ZL1 #49, that’s about as close we get.

But there are two known 69 COPO Camaros registered here and one of them is owned by COPO Anders at this forum, the other one has not had all its codes checked as far as I know but I’ve seen the original invoice for the car. It was sold by a Chevy dealer in the New York area (no not Baldwin) and the guy who bought it had a 67 BB Corvette as a trade in, if my memory serves my right. I’ll have to check the codes on that one. These two Camaros came to Sweden in 1976 and 1977 respectively.

Just something I noted while searching through the VIN’s for registered 69 Camaros in Sweden. The #49 ZL1 is listed with VIN 124379N619976 and the 69 Convertible I was referring to has VIN 124679N619977. Close but no cigar.

Just to clarify, in my previous post I was mentioning two COPO Camaros in Sweden it should have been COPO 9561. Just because I was writing about fast cars I guess I was typing too fast.

What are the specs on the convertible? Is it a big block car? Might kind of cool to have consecutive numbered cars... (see my signature)

[JChlupsa]

I can see it now, A Camaro Convt towing the ZL1. Now that would be something

[Jeff Murphy]

Or how about a LeMans blue aluminum 427 hardtop/droptop combo? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[1LE]

Oh, sorry I missed that. Sure that would be cool having consecutive numbered cars. I have no idea about the specs on the convertible, but I could try and find out. What I can see, from the Swedish equivalent to the DMV, is that the car first was registered here on April 14 1976 and it has had four owners since, the current owner has owned the car since 1982.

Also, it hasn’t been registered for use on public roads since 1988, back then it was yellow by the way, so it probably is undergoing some kind of restoration, perhaps the owner has gotten tired of the car and wants to sell it...I’ll see what I can find out. Glad to help if I can.
