That dealer just didn't know what they were doing. I personally know of two factory black 73 Z28's. They were indeed a special order, but it could be done.

Also, my friend Rick had ordered a new black 70 Camaro SS396, L78....the dealer kept giving him the runaround saying they were having a hard time getting it. He finally gave up and bought a FG 70 Nova SS396 L78 off the lot. Never did find out if it was the L78 or the black paint that was the holdup on the Camaro. The same Rick is one of the two people I knew who ordered - and received - the black 73 Z28's.
