Its been discussed here before. I wonder why they chose to put the 67-8 forced air system on it, was that even an option on the 69's pre cowl hood?

----Could a special order Z like this be ordered with the endura bumper?.......Bill S

Re: 1969 Camaro Z/28 w/Special Order Paint
 

I like that cowl plenum air intake,

Re: 1969 Camaro Z/28 w/Special Order Paint
 

I was schooled very early cars were available with the cowl plenum from the factory (also over the counter) I don't believe endura bumpers were available that early though......
It would be cool to see docs confirming all 4
The bumper, cowl plenum,NC8 &amp; D80 ....but I don't see anything special about the standard interior
&quot;Specified as Special int group ....?

The original owner lives in Delmont ,Pa &amp; Florida if memory serves me correct

That car was sold on eBay about a year ago or less. Grabiak is in my backyard.. a well known Corvette and Hi Performance Dealer back then &amp; somewhat still...... located only a few miles from Keystone Raceway Park now called Pgh Raceway Park.

Re: 1969 Camaro Z/28 w/Special Order Paint
 

My eyes must be getting real bad...but I see that it's a stripe-delete car as well.

Re: 1969 Camaro Z/28 w/Special Order Paint
 

I see.... wonder if its a dash B ...should be an early tag as well ...

I do believe that car SHOULD have A Short spoiler....hmmmm

cool &quot;Pontiac&quot; color and options

the car should also have 4 leaf rear springs ... I count 5 leafs on the car

Re: 1969 Camaro Z/28 w/Special Order Paint
 

Not saying this car is one of them, but it may be possible, albeit not likely.

From CRG: Factory documentation indicates that all 68-69 Z28's should have 4-leaf springs. One Z28 (a 69) has been found with apparently original 5-leaf springs. The 5-leaf spring usage on a Z28 should not be considered normative and CRG continues research whether 5-leaf springs were factory installed on the Z28.

Re: 1969 Camaro Z/28 w/Special Order Paint
 

Good eye Lynn.....
The only 5 leaf 69 Z/28's I've ever seen in person or in feature write-ups or eBay HAD the Generic Aftermarket cheapie springs that resemble 70 &amp; up Nova &amp; Camaro......

Just a thought here in another direction:
GM / Chevy rear springs were &quot;Computer Matched to individual cars with variation in options.
Options mean weight. A HEAVILY OPTIONED Z with ZL2 hood, VE3, RS , Power everything, Deluxe Int.,Fold Down seat,AM/FM multiplex, Tape deck,tilt wheel etc, etc .. theroreticaly may have had 5 leaves....but I seriously doubt it.

PS....the Pontiac /Olds Posi Tag on an early 12 Bolt, No WAY !
same with the USS stencil on the bottom of the tank ...a Restored car opens alot of speculation and guessing to the builder as their &quot;perception is Reality&quot;

Re: 1969 Camaro Z/28 w/Special Order Paint
 

I see alot of goofy happy marks on this car and bogas stickers that were never used on 69 Camaro's. I won't go into hardware plating.
But I must mention my very favorite happy mark on this car. The two &quot;YELLOW&quot; paint marks on the axle tube rosette welds. Really... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/sick.gif[/img]...all these little tell tale signs paint a picture that the informed see as a red flag. Not to worry, some deep pocket guy will grab it and be happy as a pig in slop.

Re: 1969 Camaro Z/28 w/Special Order Paint
 

Yes, the original owner does live in Delmont, His wife did not care for the color , so they traded it in on 1970 LS-6 Chevelle.

I understand why she didn't like the color!

So is/ was the car a Cortez silver Stripe delete as JM verified it as or the color as advertised ?

Re: 1969 Camaro Z/28 w/Special Order Paint
 

According to the trim tag its deffinetly not silver.Gm does hold extremely high quality controll standards.The over spray on door and drip moulding does have a pinkish tint to it.

Re: 1969 Camaro Z/28 w/Special Order Paint
 

Marshall,
What you posted makes absolutely no sense at all.

Re: 1969 Camaro Z/28 w/Special Order Paint
 

HAA, that was a good one Tom!

Re: 1969 Camaro Z/28 w/Special Order Paint
 

Tom:

I think Marshall is referencing the pics on the first page of the camaros.net thread on this car. It was hotly debated there ad nauseum.

Original owner swears it was evening orchid. Jerry thought it looked like Cortez Silver. One never knows with computers and digital pics, but the first time I saw pics of the overspray on the doors, I sure THOUGHT it looked like Orchid. I didn't have the luxury of seeing it in person.

Marshall:

The - paint code simply means special paint; i.e. something different from the norm. So, a Z with stripe delete would get a - paint code, even if it WERE a standard color. This trim tag doesn't settle the issue of what color the car was originally.

Re: 1969 Camaro Z/28 w/Special Order Paint
 

yes thats what ment.some one understood.Thanks lynn.I was not wanting a p--sing match.

Re: 1969 Camaro Z/28 w/Special Order Paint
 

I know Grabiak Chevrolet very well, One of the Salesmen is still there , remembers the car very well, was special order paint car. The original owner still buys new Chevrolets there.

Alls good..
These discussios are just that...discovery

Re: 1969 Camaro Z/28 w/Special Order Paint
 

GM has a new color called Lucious Kiss Pink.
When you see it in person, it looks close to the color of this car.
Maybe this color will become popular again.

Re: 1969 Camaro Z/28 w/Special Order Paint
 

I Always liked EO Paint.

Used to be an SS only color on earlier models.

Some buyer may not care of the original heritage,the current or future value. or not what the masses think.

They may purchase on what they like.

Ron
How close are you to the track ? Jug road ?

There's a &quot;Rumored&quot; 66 Nova (Stripped Shell )
of Racing Heritage supposedly sitting on the grounds of a closed down gas station/ repair center ...the owner lives in the office???..
Any knowledge. ?

An added note:
Remember the Old Modified Early 60's NOVA ,
THE &quot; NOISE MAKER&quot;. ?
its back from the Dead and on the Street In its Old Livery Paint Scheme. ...

Re: 1969 Camaro Z/28 w/Special Order Paint
 

Within 2 miles west of the track. no knowledge of the nova,

Re: 1969 Camaro Z/28 w/Special Order Paint
 

If special paint was ordered and that color was not in the assembly plant, what was the process to get it to that assembly plant? depending on what year, some plants built other car bodies with the camaro. Then they might have the color already in the plant. special paint, did it have to be a color available that year from any gm family?

Re: 1969 Camaro Z/28 w/Special Order Paint
 

There are non-GM-colored cars out there. I can think of two documented Plum Crazy cars for starters.

Re: 1969 Camaro Z/28 w/Special Order Paint
 

What was the &quot;purple&quot; used on 67 Camaros -- I think that was a regular option ... had a friend that bought a new Camaro that color. Called it his &quot;Purple People Eater&quot;. TAZ

Re: 1969 Camaro Z/28 w/Special Order Paint

Yup. And 46 years later, still ugly.

Re: 1969 Camaro Z/28 w/Special Order Paint
 

Ugly is understated. ..
A 65 Impala SS
A 65 MALUBU SS ....

SOMEWHAT ACCECTABLE....

why after 40 -50 years so many Love a Color that only gets uglier......they love it though
YET , DONT HAVE ONE IN THERE COLLECTION ...
Some Car Colors are just downright nasty....
Some 69 Camaro colors are really bad now and were then.....so I guess some ordered special paints.
