There was a lot going on for the '69 Camaro RPO wise, I've restored a few '69 Camaro's during my career....Though it's been some years & I am relying solely on memory, What you quoted even says SS/RS Always have SS badges which I've never seen a Z/28 have.
Isn't This The Truth!

I'm still looking for the 67 that just recently sold in Palm Beach.
Well, you should know more than me.
my favorite camaro is the 1969 copo zl1. it is extremely rare and is the pinnacle of chevy camaro of the sixties. even though it had insane power, it still came with a 5 years 50 000 miles warranty.

Only 69 were made.
In the past, the purpose-built COPO Camaro factory drag cars have been limited to just 69 units. This is a reference to the original 1969 COPO Camaro, of which just 69 models were built with the legendary all-aluminum ZL1 427 V8 engine.

I sold this mint old restoration 65 vette 2 years ago and glad i did. Was a 327 350hp with a powerglide trans. All stock just rebuilt motor and trans that were numbers matching whish is a whole rabbit hole in itself LOL Theyve dropped in prices what ive seen at classic car auctions and couldnt be happier.
Those old cars if they're stock are pieces of crap. I spent a month trying to find a capacitor to make my turn signal work, finally had to buy one from a stereo store LOL
the only old cars that bring any money anymore are the restomods with a modern drivetrain. those 60's musclecars are getting so old they reaching model T status in the 35 year olds mind whos looking to buy a fast car to joyride. This old junk just appeals to old men
I also had a 65 big block vette that needed complete restoration which i unloaded. That buyer said flatout hed restomod it with a modern vette engine and sell the old big block
The market will only continue to decline as Baby Boomers pass away. Their appetite for nostalgia will likely never be matched!
The Honda isn't a cool car at all.

It will be interesting to see.
I don’t dabble with muscle cars, just old diesels, but I do interact with a good number of younger folks who are getting into them, even though the old diesels are slow and the fuel is expensive.
I think the difference is that the old diesels are drivable classics, not museum pieces. The issue with muscle cars is so many folks have restorations that took a lot of time and money. People don’t want to drive them, they’re too nice, and not necessarily great performing by modern standards. But they’re a lot of money to not be somebody’s passion.
So does the market tank to get lot enough to make it worthwhile for millennials to make garage space and sit on an old classic?
I would rather see the millennials make garage space for them and let them sit on blocks. It's much better than letting the Japanese scarf them up like they started doing a few years ago. At least if they're still here in the US a muscle car collector/enthusiast still has a chance to buy one, maybe more.
If you can find an 1980's Olds 350 Diesel block in good shape (I haven't seen a bad one, YET) BUY IT! They are some of the best heavy duty blocks to make a racing engine.
Back in the late 90's one of my dad's employees made one similar to the one in this video. He put it in a 1976 Cutlass. Man, that car was POSSESSED with that engine in it!

I saw this 1968 Yenko Super Camaro cross the block in Palm Beach, FL. Barrett-Jackson 2022 auction. 1 of 70 and has less than 50K miles. $533,500.00

It's just a way to camouflage the prototype. We'll see the production car soon. It's nice to see that Civic styling has returned to sensibility.Well that’s different. It looks like they were putting wall paper up in their kids room and decided to wrap their car in it.
I will say that this Civic’s body style (minus that wrap) looks a lot better than the previous Transformer look. (To me anyway)
We had a ‘89 hatchback,…I miss that old car.
Oh look the car version of a stripper…
