Rare 69 Camaro Available
 

I was browsing CL and ran across this really rare combo 69. Daytona Yellow, Yellow Houndstooth and parchment top. This is a great combo and car looks nice for restore with rare fiber optics and AM/FM monoplex stereo.

Not sure what's so parchment about it?

Re: Rare 69 Camaro Available
 

the code on the trim tag "E" = parchment vinyl top, the black vinyl top was "B":

Ah . . . they didn't follow the trim tag! Didn't think to check that out. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/blush.gif[/img]

That color combo usually came with black vinyl, Parchment is probably very rare.

I had my hands on one in the exact same colors. The parchment top was painted over with black.

My 69 DY Z28 had a parchment top/black stripes, white houndstooth. When found the entire car including the top and interior was painted black. Must of looked goofy with a white top and black stripes.

The 69 DY Yellow Houndstooth small block at last years BJ auction was advertized as 1 of 125 produced, does anyone know where they came up with that number? I am interested in knowing where that number came from because I also own a yellow/yellow houndstooth 396 car. I don't want to go around quoting a made up number.

I had a 69 DY/Y parchment RS-SS Big Block car I sold a few years ago...it was just a complete roller with no motor or trans., but was a real car. It was now painted burgundy with a black top. But still had the yellow houndstooth.

there were probably more than 125 DY/Y cars originally...but I don't believe any numbers are available to breakdown color/interior/top combos.
