1974 Camaro Z28 Cowl Tag Question

[Bill Pritchard]

Here's a true story: I bought a Hugger orange Nova brand new in 1970. Only had it 5 months, and sold it to a friend. About 6 months after he bought it, his girlfriend was driving the car and wrecked it. It got fixed, but the damage was such that the whole car had to be repainted. He chose to have it painted a blue color, similar to LeMans blue. So at essentially one year of age, that car was a completely different color than what it left the factory as.

So your Camaro may have been some other non-RPO color originally and then got painted Hugger orange early on in life, too.
