Dawn Robertson of Elk Grove, California, purchased her 1969 Camaro from her mom, in 2001. The car was originally Cortez Silver and had the "dog dish" hubcaps. The original owner had the car, at some point, repainted a light blue shade, and the Camaro was "powered" by a 250 6-cylinder engine and sported the standard black interior.
All of that changed in 2005. Dawn had the car repainted and chose the Silverstone color you see in the photos. She also added black Rally stripes and dropped a small-block 350 in it. The new engine breathes a lot better thanks to a dual exhaust system with Edelbroc mufflers.
But why stop there? Dawn has totally restored the interior of her Camaro and upgraded from plain black vinyl to deluxe houndstooth. Future plans include a 12-bolt Positraction differential.
Dawn wants to enter her Camaro in car shows, in the near future. However, no racing. She wrote, "This is my 5th one and I don't want anything to happen to it.".
We can't blame her.
A couple of Dawn's photo submissions to The Motor Bookstore's Photo Contest were also posted in our store. One of them to the 1967-1981 Chevrolet Camaro Chilton repair manual page, and another alongside the How to Restore Your 1967-1969 Camaro how-to book by Tony Huntimer.
