1969 Camaro Convertible 327 V8 Automatic Original Hugger Orange and Ivory Black Project from the hit TV show Fast N’ Loud offered by Gas Monkey Garage! When I caught wind of an original 327 Hugger Orange and Ivory with White Convertible car that was running and driving when put into storage years ago I knew I had to act quickly to secure it for the shop! This is a 327 v8 car built at the Norwood Ohio plant in the 2nd week of Feb 1969, it is an original Hugger Orange and White car with Automatic and Power Steering as standard equipment. Now I knew it had rust , but I was still interested in an Original Hugger orange 327 Convertible so went to go check it out closer. What I found was a fairly unmolested original car (even still has the "cocktail shakers"present in the trunk! see all pics) that certainly had potential and a deal was made. When I got the car back to the shop I had the Monkeys take a look and we found there was some work to do before attempting to start it for the first time,so we drained the fluids and fuel, replaced some of the brake components that had deteriorated from age and got the car running and driving again.(Please note; this car hasn’t run or been driven in years and while it runs and drives now, it will need to be completely serviced to ensure safety and reliability before any extended driving is attempted and with our filming schedule we cannot perform any other service or build this car for you SOLD AS IS/WHERE IS!) We cleaned and polish the car to get a better idea of which direction to go with this car and between the launch of the Gas Monkey Tequila, book signings and our filming schedule, I’ve decide offer this 1969 327 Camaro Convertible project to you just as it sits now so you can build it just the way you want. Please note: This Camaro has had body work in the past that will need to be addressed and should be considered a project that will need mechanical and cosmetic restoration (see all pics).If you’re looking for a good example of the iconic 1969 Camaro Convertible that is a Project you won’t find a better example that’s priced to sell! Clear Title in hand! Suitable for a Classic Restoration Project, Hot Rod Project and Advertising or Promotional use or you decide!

“I’ve been obsessed with cars since… I was born.”
Richard Rawlings had a car by age fourteen, and had gone through nearly twenty cars by the time he was out of high school. His father worked three jobs his whole life—two to make ends meet for the family, and one to buy toys. Neither a mechanic nor a fabricator, his father took pride in his car collection. Needless to say, this stayed with Richard.
Rawlings was always working, and always chasing pipe dreams. By twenty-one, he’d been a cop, a fireman, and a medic. But he wanted more. After a rough stint of sleeping on his sister’s couch, he got his act together and entered the world of trading sales. Here he solidified his business savvy, and went on to build an advertising and printing firm from the ground up. The company grew to become a “juggernaut” in the Dallas area. A mere four years later, the company sold, and with that money Gas Monkey Garage was born.
Aaron Kaufman worked at a shop Rawlings frequented, and loved the stuff Rawlings brought in for him. Kaufman always went above and beyond for him. When Gas Monkey opened, Rawlings called him up and asked if he wanted to work for him. The premise was simple: Rawlings wanted the fastest, most expensive, most badass hot rod shop to be found, with apparel and a show on Discovery to boot. Kaufman thought he was crazy, but signed on anyway. Eight years later, the shop is all that and more.
They owe their success to a strict business model. They don’t buy parts—only whole models without too much rust. Owing to his business background, Rawlings has a handle on the market, and knows the price he ought to pay. In ninety days or less, the job will be done, whether they start with a decent model or a carcass. Then it’s onto the next job without hesitation. If a finished car sits too long, Rawlings will sell it at a loss. He’s interested in a killer operation, not a stockpile.
Their roles within the shop are clear. Rawlings is first and foremost an entrepreneur. He wants to sell a style, push a brand, and make sure Gas Monkey Garage never stops growing. Kaufman runs the shop, armed with his mastery of mechanics, electrics, and fabrication. The dynamic is vital, the common ground being their mutual love of classic cars. Rawlings has always been an old soul when it comes to cars, and his style has brought in a steady flow of clientele who trust his no-B.S. methods. “Anyone can go out and buy a Ferrari.” Rawlings’ dream car? “A 1932 Ford Roadster—the holy grail of hot rods.”
