1969 Camaro SS featured by Coastal Hot Rods
Rod Of The Month

Built.
Driven.
Featured.

Every month we put one special machine in the spotlight. Not because it's perfect — because it's got personality. Every ride has a story. Rod of the Month celebrates the hot rods, classics and custom builds — and the people behind them — throughout Coastal North Carolina.

Meet This Month's Rod
Behind The Steel

The Story
Matters Too.

Some cars look good sitting still. This one looks like it wants to leave.

The 1969 Camaro is one of those cars that needs almost no introduction. Long hood. Short deck. Mean stance. Big-block attitude.

This month's featured rod represents exactly what we like around here — a car that can turn heads at a show and still beg to be driven when the road opens up.

Trailer queens welcome. Drivers preferred.
