I have seen them same stripes on 67 camaro's also. I really doubt it is factory. I have seen stripes like that on vintage scca race cars. Roger

If anyone has a copy of the John Hooper book... Is the yellow Retail Order Form picture on the auction the same one from page 75??

Looks like the top of the firewall is blue instead of white like the stripe color.

Would someone like to educate me on this? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif I just returned from a local car show where I saw a very nicely restored RS Z/28. It was hugger orange with white stripes and the top of the cowl beneath the cowl vent panel was painted white. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

As they went down the assembly line, the cars with stripes had the cowl area painted the color of the stripes. Of course the cowl was off. This overspray was not taped off but painted by "a good hand" so the cowl area looked cleaner when the stripes were applied on the cowl itself and hood. When the cowl was put on the car the vents that you see into looked like a better paint job instead of dry overspray. I might of used too many words. Hope you are not more confused. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif Sam

"interesting" maybe, but am I the only one who finds this rare color and stripe combo to be hideously ugly? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif I agree with Charley, the grill looks to have been replaced, and is black instead of silver, and unpainted around the outside... installed right out of the box, and the emblem put on it the wrong place... To each his own, but I'd take ANY standard color 69 Z with "normal" sripes on it over smurf blue any day...JMO!

Wow 130K already....is this a new record? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif

Re: Interesting
 

The guy states in his ad that the quarters, trunk and floor are original, yet he says the car is only original once. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif Well if the rest of the body has been replaced why would he claim that it's original. That would also mean that the car was repainted, explaining the lack of the stripe and the replacement grill (you would think that with this RARE car that he would take the time to do it right). Maybe the original front clip was taken out in an accident?, but then again that dosent explain the rest of the car, what about the rest of the chassis? WOW 130K, we're approching Yenko/Copo territory with 5 days to go. If this car reaches $150 the buyer must have escaped from a home. Watch it come back on saying the guy was a mooch. He says it is also being advertised locally, i wonder what he expects out of it becouse reserve still is'nt met. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Just out of curiosity i phoned that #, no answer but the answering machine sounded like a kid or a woman. Come to think of it maybe the car belongs to a woman, it would explain the RARE color. Not that men ar'nt into Baby Blue muscle cars, i wonder if it comes with matching fuzzy pink seat covers??? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif

It ain't baby blue, it's CAROLINA BLUE. Us rednecks love that color. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

Some of us might not care for it but can we not go overboard on beating it up ?
