Tell me about rare color combos!

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.

Chris Piscitello wanted me to post some pics of a car he used to own...with a rare color combo. It was black...with a blue leather interior and a blue soft top!

Enjoy!

Anybody remember the '69 Z/28 that Carl Dwiggins owned that was Yellow with Green Interior?
