As we get revved up for the Fourth of July this coming weekend, I have slated a week long tribute to some of the most bad-assed American cars ever made. And they don't get much more classic than the iconic 1969 Chevy Camaro SS.

This video actually features a '69 Camaro SS for sale from Fleming's Ultimate Garagebra, and whoever managed to afford this American beauty got a really special car. This Camaro rocks royal blue paint with white stripes from the tip of the hood to the end of the trunk, and it sports brand new performance tires as well. At the :50 mark we get a look at the interior, and it has been upheld in the most pristine manner possible. Then at the 1:25 mark we get a peek under the hood. Everything looks clean and pretty which is further confirmed at 2:05 mark when they start the 396 engine and let that baby roar for a few seconds...it's most definitely music to my ears.

My older brother had a '69 Z28 with the 302. Nice car at the time, but a 2010 SS would outperform a '69 SS in every possible way. Power, handling, brakes, comfort, fuel economy. Wouldn't even be a contest.
