Your Favorite 69 Camaro Color?
 
I was just sitting here thinking about how I would set up a 69 Camaro if it were back in the day. Then I was thinking about colors. Was a pretty tough decision. Thought I would do a poll to find out what everyone else thought.

So if its 1969 and your ordering your new Camaro (whatever trim package, Z, SS, COPO, ZL1) what color do you choose?

Azure Turquoise....with a white DX1 stripe.....on a Super Sport.

Re: Your Favorite 69 Camaro Color?
 
I'd take a Frost Green/black stripe Z, black standard guts, endura bumper, black vinyl top, and no other options.

...Or maybe an L78, same trim combo, with painted steelies and soup bowl hubcaps.

Fathom Green with black stripes would be bad ass too...decisions, decisions....

Azure Turquoise in the lead!!!! yeah.....

This will be a fun poll, and I am quit sure it will be very different % wise compared to what was chosen back in the day. I see Black is getting up there, it was the least used colors.
Check out the color usage chart from the CRG below that shows the % used of each of the 18 choices https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif.

I would have to think for awhile on the color thing......but after seeing Dan's Burgandy W/red stripe Z28 @ VF I could live with that.

I totally agree with you Mike, Dan's car is also an awesome car and that color combo would be my second choice! And what a great guy Dan is...was a privilege to actually meet him!

Black with white striping is tops for me. That Azure / Black is cool also.

Mr.Nickey Nova 12-07-2008 07:16 PM

Re: Your Favorite 69 Camaro Color?
 
Champagne would be my pick with Garnet Red a close second.

I had a Dusk Blue with blue standard int. back in the day. That's my fav. Sure wish that I owned a camera back in the 70's

1969z280 12-07-2008 09:18 PM

Re: Your Favorite 69 Camaro Color?
 
Hmmm, I guess I'd go with LeMans Blue. Black stripes would be my choice as they give the color a different hue. Ed

Either Lemans Blue or Dusk blue with white stripes and white interior. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

I gotta side with our new Moderator. I'd probably go for a Frost Green bare-bones L-78/M-22. I like the understated, Dangerfield stealth approach. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Glacier Blue or White would be close seconds.

YenkoYS-199Stinger 12-07-2008 11:35 PM

LeMans Blue Z-28 with JL-8 Brakes and crossram, RS options and an Endura bumper.

Hey Cumby...I talked with a friend this past weekend about a COPO Camaro that his friend bought new from Dale Chev. It was a Frost Green black interior bare-bones 4-speed car...just like you like it. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif
I'm going to have to find out whatever happened to that car...

Oh yeah...I voted Garnet Red, but needs to be accompanied by a white hockey stripe and white deluxe houndstooth interior.

Re: Your Favorite 69 Camaro Color?
 
Lots of calls for white interior, I thought I was the only one.

Re: Your Favorite 69 Camaro Color?
 
For many years favorite has been dusk blue, but found myself voting for olympic gold.

Hugger Orange/White stripe Z28. Black comfort weave interior, rosewood wheel. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/drool.gif

I'll take one Daytona Yellow, black stripes. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...8/P1011584.jpg

I agree what is popular now, wasn't then. I never would have owned a yellow car in the 70's or 80's. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif

Re: Your Favorite 69 Camaro Color?
 
FATHOM GREEN! But I gotta 'ya, when it came time to sell, I really had a big problem. When it comes to Camaros, everybody wants the "hot" colors like red, orange, and yellow. In fact, I actually had people hang the phone up on me when the car was for sale and I answered "green" when asked what color the car was. Olympic gold and Champaign(sic) are my next favorites. Give me the earth tones!

markjohnson 12-08-2008 01:50 AM

Re: Your Favorite 69 Camaro Color?
 
I'll also add that Ralley Green has became a favorite color as of lately (for me at least) and looks great with a White interior! It just screams "MUSCLECAR". On the same hand, that Mopar color Sassy Green or Lime Green just makes me ill to even look at. No offense to owners please.

drdave69 12-08-2008 02:19 AM

Re: Your Favorite 69 Camaro Color?
 
I like the oddball colors so I voted for Butternut Yellow. Rally Green or Olympic Gold would be my second choice.
