Hugger Survivor
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++
The post quoted above from earlier in the thread seemed to be overlooked or maybe misunderstood.
The pics show some areas of primer that has a "purplish" tint to it. This is on a Hugger Orange 69 Z28 survivor with 21,000+ miles. Full coverage paint on the body is completely different.
Now, back to the car in question. I would not expected to see full body color on the areas that are covered up by the door panels or on the top of the car. Remember, when it was painted, they knew it was going to get a black vinyl top. What I would expect to see is primer and some overspray on those areas.
Full color coverage paint on the body would be different, as in the case of the Hugger Orange car.
In my opinion, there is no way to say that the color was EO based on what was found under the door panels or under the vinyl top. Those areas likely did not get FULL paint coverage like the outside of the body did.
The 1969 GM color Flamingo Silver (Olds) / Sunset Silver (Buick) - is not the same as EO.

Thank God there are cars out there like the Hugger Orange Survivor to keep us sane, and differentiate real from fantasy or bad recollection. Cars like this truly are worth their weight in gold to the hobby. The car that is the subject of this 16 page plus thread may be just as the original owner states it is, but still glad we have survivors to draw reference from. The hugger orange car should be renamed "The Truth" and in my mind one of the most valuable 69 Camaros ever. Wish I owned it
