That 1st color pic of grumpys car looks like the color of the car is capri cream? or is it my imagination.

Sure looks that way to me.I wonder if the restored car still has the trim tag.I would have said that the picture was just faded or stained,but Winboldon white was pretty light,and the background wall and even the truck in the corner of that shot look pretty white and that Camaro looks pretty creamy.

You have to remember that this was the Grumps first Camaro and the first car he had after the red and white novas.It is entirely possible that he spent a while racing a car with Chevy paint on it before going to that "brand F" color.One thing that is odd is that the pic of the car in the shop looks a lot whiter,it also has lettering on the front fender that isnt in the other photo.I am leaning toward the car being Capri Cream for a while,unless that was a 68 only color.My friend has a Capri Cream 68 race car and it looks soooo vintage cool.
