Wow, that azure color looks so nice it makes you wonder why more people didn't order it.

Hey Charlie what a beautuful car. Here is the trim tag of my 6 Cylinder car. Your car has one of the nicest and cleanest original bodies I have ever seen. Looks too good to be true.

Hey Charlie I am wondering about the pin stripping. I could see the pin stripping under the one repaint on my car. Was this an option or were the pin stripes on all Camaros. For some reason very few repainted cars I have seen have the pin stripes.

The D96 striping accent was included in 1969 with both the Z22 &amp; Z21 option, but was not available on Z28's or Z27(SS)because those options had other striping included. To make it more confusing it was included with the Z11 (indy pace cars which were rs/ss equipped).

If your car is not a Z28 or Z27 equipped then it could be ordered under RPO D96. I may be easier to tell me how your car is equipped if my explanation was confusing.

Took em outside and they are definitely different colors. Inside they look closer. The RS was a LA built car while the plain Jane is a Norwood car. Amazing color difference. </div></div>It looks to me like the RS(LA car) is Lemans Blue, while the plain jane Norwood does look Azure Turquoise.

My first '69 Camaro was Azure Turquoise with Black vinyl top, hockey stick stripe, and black standard int. w/ console, 327 glide wiyh A/C. Cragar SS and Road Huggers. I was a junior in high school (private school and I was the ONLY car guy). It still makes me wonder why that color was NOT more popular---went GREAT with White, Black, or solid color. I remember seeing one with a White top and B/W Houndstooth---a definite looker. GREAY find Charley---I like the wheel/tire combo., but I say NO to the LS swap. Rare doesn't always mean desirable, but that car is an honest original and PLEASE leave it that way.
Again, CONGRATS.

One thing I forgot to tell you guys about my Azure '69. I was one of a few guys in my class that had their own cars (most drove their parents---you know the sons of doctors and lawyers; my father sold new Oldsmobiles) and had a job to make the payments. I used to walk to and from school and passed by the '69 everyday. Finally, a &quot;For Sale&quot; sign appeared and I left a deposit immediately on the way home from school. I owned it within that week and was driving on the weekend. I'll never forget---$47.77 a month as a junior in high school! Thanks to mom for co-signing!!!!!!!!
