This is my 69 RS/SS. It's kind of a rare color combo. Cortez Silver with Midnight Green Deluxe interior, Black Vinyl Top and Stripes. Also came with XT wheels (that everyone keeps trying to talk me out of

)

How about my 68 L78 nova. It is sequoia green with a black vinyl top and ivy gold bucket seat interior. I only know of three other sequoia green 68 L78 nova's. One has black bench seat interior, the other has ivy gold bench seat interior and mine with ivy gold bucket seat's. I haven't seen many 68 nova's with this exterior color!

The silver/green Camaro is pretty interesting. I've never seen a combo like that, but silver was kinda a flexible color - probably second to black or white as being something that goes with everything. On a hunch, I checked a color chart for another car that was available in silver, and lo and behold, green was a recommended interior for silver. Pretty interesting!

1968 Nova SSs are my favorite of that generation - I especially like the SUPER SPORT script on the rockers. But green and gold are not unusual in combination. I think of it more of a sedan combo rather than something that you'd find on a performance car.

Richard, your car is wonderful. I always thought the orange houndstooth was pace car-only (plus Z10s too!), but maybe not? Was it RPO or special-ordered? I think it's much more striking than a while car with the same interior because the white car would remind me of a pace car.

Keep the pics coming!

Here's one for you guys. This 442 is a triple yellow, 4 speed vert and it is absolutely stunning.

I love that interior. Would look hot on a black car!

St. Patricks day car. There were two 1971 W30 converts that are known to exist in this color combo.

I owned this car from 1997 to 2000. It has a Pacific Northwest Drag racing History.
It has traded hands a few times since I sold it and it is known as the "UPS Car".

Looks like a pale yellow--something like the leamonwood yellow on the '66 Chevelle. Those redlines & chrome factory mags really make that color/combo pop.....

I saw this on Team Camaro:

Burnished Brown and a green interior?

Ive had a few different combo's over the years pass thru me.

My very first 1969 Camaro was a VN Z/28, Silver Paint, Green standard bucket interior, console & gauges, Speed Warning, Tach, Dash Clock, Flat hood, NO spoilers, and that was it!

Had another 1969 Z/28 that was Azure Turquoise, White Standard Buckets, X33-D80, Console and Gauges, Tach, Dash Clock, ZL2, Spoilers. Put a X-RAM on it with the 2nd design off road cam in it....That thing was dead until 3500 RPM's then took off like a raped ape thru 3rd!!!

Found a Black Vinyl Top Z10 once in a yard.
