There is a guy in Monterey, CA that is the original owner of a 69 Z that was pink when it was new. I forget the story but I believe he had the dealer paint it before taking delivery.

Thanks Jason,
(this is a factory - - special paint car)
This Car came out of Ca. then to Az.
& found its way to Pa. where its undergoing a Color Change.We added a DZ 302,400 turbo,12 Bolt & retaining the Original A/C....

Years ago a Camaro enthusiast book had pics of a body similar if not this same body....I don't recall who authored that book or what year ????
We'd like to find more info before we spray it a non-Pink color for obvious reasons.

Back to this: &quot; Does it have more or less Value in another GM Color choice &quot;

I don't know that it makes a HUGE difference, partly because it obviously isn't in its original state now ... but my take is as follows:

You need more history on the car if possible. Have you requested docs from NCRS? You will probably find out for sure who the selling dealer was.
If I had that car, I would be doing some more research, looking for the original owner.
I am not a huge fan of pink cars, but I would probably paint it pink. Some one can give you the color code for the pink that GM used in 69.
Value on a car like this is probably subjective, but my guess is it is worth more painted the original color, especially if you can come up with some history. There is someone out there who would love to have a pink 69 Camaro, and be able to say it is repainted in its original color.

Tough decision.

Pontiac offered Pink Mist in 1968 as a special order color. It was available on any Pontiac, except the GTO with the Endura bumper.

There was also a special one-off Pink Mist 1968 Firebird made for Nancy Sinatra with a pink leather interior and a pink top. John DeLorean (who was dating Nancy at the time) had the plant build it for her. She supposedly wrecked it, and a second one was built. To reciprocate, Nancy's dad (a guy named Frank, I think he was a singer [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]) did a couple 1969 Pontiac commercials, one for the Grand Prix and one for the GTO.
