Default Re: 1971 Camaro Z/28 on ebay

-----I dont think black was especially taboo. I believe that GM was having problems with application as regards quality and therefore made it difficult for all but the most persistent of purchasers. I bought a 73 Z28 from the original owner in about 1975. he tried like crazy to get a black one and ended up ordering dark green and having the car painted at the dealership shortly after purchase. I think he may have been dealing with under-experienced people at this particular dealer and probably could have ordered a -- paint color had they tried a bit harder.
-----I also had a friend who owned a fairly big used car operation in Hyannis Ma. that ordered a couple of primer Corvettes a year for two or three years running in 70 thru 72 era and painted them all black upon arrival. Sold like hot-cakes!!! .......Bill S
