1967 Chevelle... What color?
 

Looking for opinions and pictures: What color looks best on a 1967 Chevelle...

Red has been crossed off the list...

How about some period correct colors? light shades of yellow? biege? tans? bronze? coppers? golds?

just getting the ball rolling with some ideas

Thanks!

Tahoe Turquoise.

Or Butternut Yellow (it'd need a black vinyl top though). ( https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif)

Butternut Yellow.

Re: 1967 Chevelle... What color?
 

I'm leaning towards Tahoe Turquoise or Granada Gold. Black guts on both with mag style wheel covers.

Emerald Turquoise

Re: 1967 Chevelle... What color?
 

Code HH Mountain Green.

Re: 1967 Chevelle... What color?
 

I forgot to mention...

The car has no interior yet but most likely we'll go with black

it also has a black vinyl top hat.

Marina Blue

Re: 1967 Chevelle... What color?
 

I'm a little biased, but Granada Gold looks great!!!

brain stoped working this a/m...I like the deep maroon color for 67...just dont see that much anymore.

Re: 1967 Chevelle... What color?
 

Black with black vinyl roof, black bench and a 4 gear. throw some old school s/s rims on there.....wait thats my car.

Re: 1967 Chevelle... What color?
 

I would go with black. I'm curious, why are you asking others what color you should paint your car?

Jason,

If you really want to read into the fine print I was not asking what color I should paint my car, I was asking what color looks good on a 1967 Chevelle. I'm looking for ideas, or better inspiration. We're new to the Chevelle scene and just trying to get a feel.

Thanks for asking.

Re: 1967 Chevelle... What color?
 

Right on. I was just curious.

Re: 1967 Chevelle... What color?
 

Since it currently has no interior, I would go with a triple black combo. A black vinyl top, body, and interior would look killer.

Re: 1967 Chevelle... What color?
 

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say.......Paint it whatever the trim tag says... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif More than likely it is some cool 60's earth tone seldom seen today...Or... be like the other 99 million Chevelles and go red,blue,black....yawn....Green,gold and brown.... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

I vote for the wild 60's paint job (you know, lace patterns, flames, gold leaf, etc) or the mid 80's street freak wild paint schemes with all of the candy colors...dare to be different!

Re: 1967 Chevelle... What color?
 

Royal Plum, Black Vinyl Roof, Black guts. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

Re: 1967 Chevelle... What color?
 

Deepwater Blue is close to my Danube Blue, and that looks great. I also like Grenada Gold.. not a fan of the traditional RED or Marina Blue, White, Butternut Yellow, etc...

Mountain Green is cool also!

Here's some reference pics

I'm partial to tuxedo black and "grape" (royal plum) myself.

Re: 1967 Chevelle... What color?
 

Although I like Bruce's old custom paint idea, what about Fathom Blue or whatever the color Dana's '68 Yenko car was special ordered in? .

There's one ebay right now in that Tahoe color with Black interior.. sharp!

Re: 1967 Chevelle... What color?
 

Still looking for those photos. I'll keep digging!

Re: 1967 Chevelle... What color?
 

I have a 67 chevelle SS and when it was restored I wanted to go with Mrina blue,so when it came time to purchase paint I went to PPG.I wanted the old color but in a base coat clear coat.Well it was not availiable then and not sure if it is now.I went through the old paint chip for 67 and took the marina blue chip and matched it up with a new PPG color.Now on the chips side by side they looked exactly the same so I said mix me up 2 gallons of that,it was called Neon Blue.As it turned out in reality it is darker than Marina blue and deeper! As it was first applied to the bottom of the car I did not like the color , It had no clear on it but I did not like it.Well the painter said let me get more done and clear on it and see if you like it.I thought all night about how I disliked the color,and made up my mind to change it the next day.Well when I got to the shop I looked at the car and it was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! After the car was finished We entered it into the Auto Rama in Houston and won 2nd place.I bet I had 150 people if I had one ask me the actual color of the car,I honestly got tired of being asked that question so I would not even stay around the car.Go to a PPG dealer and look at a Neon blue paint chip if you like blue,and see how it looks to you.I will see if I can get my soninlaw to take a couple of pictures of the car so you can see what it looks like! Or if you want them real soon e mail me your address and I will send a couple of photos I have of the car to you.I still get comments till this day and it is 8 years old now about the color of blue on the car.

FOUND 'EM!

I knew I had them somewhere. I found the photos of my '67 Chevelle SS396 in Tahoe Turquoise with black roof. Sorry it took so long. I was sure they were in a box in my office closet. Well as I started going through the closet, one thing led to another and I ended up gutting the closet and installing all new shelving. But hey, I found the photos as a result.

The Tahoe Turqoise was always my favorite color for the '67. There were two in the area just like this one when I was a teenager. Later in life, I got my own. I foolishly sold it a about 10 years ago to a guy who owned a resto/body shop in New Jersey. As we looked at these photos tonight, my wife still can't believe I sold such a beautiful car.

I've tried to attach the photos but, apparently they are too large. Any suggestions for photo posting?

Daniel,

Thanks for posting my photos. If my memory is correct, they were hastily snapped as it was REALLY cold that day.
