How much is a 1969 Camaro worth?

The 1969 Camaro is the strongest-valued first-generation Camaro by a wide margin, driven by the iconic sheet-metal restyle and the introduction of the COPO program.

Pricing tiers (driver-quality, 2026 market)

• Base 1969 coupe with 307 / 327 V8: $28,000–$45,000
• RS or SS 350: $50,000–$85,000
• SS 396 (L78): $90,000–$160,000
• Z/28 (302 small-block, DZ engine): $95,000–$175,000
• COPO 427 (L72 / ZL1): $200,000 to $1M+ for documented ZL1 cars
• Yenko-converted 427: $200,000–$500,000+

What drives value

Numbers-matching engine and trans (verified via casting numbers and date codes), original sheet metal, COPO/Yenko documentation (factory build sheets, dealer order forms), and concours-grade restoration history. RS and SS option packages add 15-30% over base.

Where the market is going

Driver-quality first-gen Camaro prices have stabilized after a decade of climbing. The top-tier COPO and Yenko cars continue to appreciate as they're treated as blue-chip collectibles. Restomod first-gens (Pro-Touring builds with LS swaps) are a separate market and routinely cross $150,000 for high-end builds.
