Awesome !


<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: jaybird</div><div class="ubbcode-body">afternearly three years of searching i finally found the original owner to the RS copo from Emmert chevrolet, he about s@%$t when i asked him if he bought a camaro in 1969. He currently lives in Dallas TX and was amazed that i found and called him. He is going to look and see if he has any paperwork or pictures from when he owned the car. I spoke with him for almost an hour as he did most of the talking. For you guys who have little or no info on the copos from Emmert he told me that they had about 7 or 8 sitting on the dealer floor and this one was the most appeling to him with the special pontiac firebird green paint and the houndstooth and rs double copo. it turns out his wifes aunt was the owners daughter and Jim Mattison was dating her. He also told me that he never had the car at the drag strip but used to street race it on Woodard ave. he said that after he bought the car he put in a Racer Brown camshaft and that made it run like a bat out of hell!!! I sent him the same pictures that i posted on this sight and he replied that he still has a son that lives close to us and when he comes in town next he would love to see the car and would LOVE to bt it back but its not for sale. what a christmas present that phone call was to him as i called him the day after christmas. i find it hard to believe that being Detriot and home of GM that no one has any info on the copos from Emmert </div></div>

It can't be a Firemist paint - it required a special gun to shoot. </div></div>
Kurt: 06A VIN 124379N6633XX PNT --
My original Copo was an 06A VIN 124379N6606XX. Hugger orange/ white standard, 4 spd. I sold my car back in 1995.
I do not know how to upload pictures (62 years old), but when we removed the sill plates and quarter window rubbers, it most definately is not fanthom green, and appears to have too much metallic for verdoro green.

Kurt: It may be a PNT -B, I will call the owner tonight for some more info. I am recalling part of this from memory and I have an old sheet of notes about his car that gave me some of the info.

Verdoro does have lots of gold Metallic in it.

Thanks Charley, I am not much of a computer person. Can I upload to the site from an email picture? The car is not mine and he lives about 40 miles away, but I am thinking that he could email me a photo of the cowl tag.

Stefano: I agree with you 100%, but this looks alittle different and it is untouched original paint under the sills. We have had several good car people look at it and the correct paint color is still in question.

It could be Rampur Green. Another car built at the same time was this color.

What year and model originally used Rampur Green? I have not heard of that combination before.

I googled Rampur Green and I see that it was a 69 Cadillac color. The color chip allows me to magnify the color chip larger, but it is hard to tell, but it is similar in that it is a dark green with alot of metallic.
