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.

Absolutely correct, Bill. I personally know of two 73 Z28's that were special ordered black from the factory, and I think Dennis Cumby has a friend who ordered one new and still has it. My friend Rick, who ordered one of the two 73 Z's that I know of, had previously ordered a new 70 Camaro L78 in black, but gave up waiting and bought a Forest green 70 Nova L78 instead.

FYI, Pics of my L.A. 70 SS showing Red overspray and factory rear wheel house undercoat.......and Frank's 70 L.A. Z-28 with Black primered underfloor........
Notice how Frank's transmission tunnel is factory undercoated, which is not found on Norwood 70's........

My thanks to Frank A for sharing his EXCELLENT 70 Z with everyone at this past summers ACA Camaros at Carlisle show.
On Sunday morning the hoist was available and a few of us took pics of the ORIGINAL L.A undercarriage. For anyone curious, yes Frank did refinish the subframe.
This is another reason why Carlisle is the premier judged show for Camaros whether restored, survivor, custom, etc
