X2 - what a great car, would love to own it! Hope it'll remain in original paint? </div></div> Unfortunately i doubt it. It wasent for sale and my plan was to have a 350 backed by a muncie and leave it all original and drive it for the summer. But someone came along and made a hefty offer that got it out of my hands. Still not sure i made the right decision selling it. But they come and go, i guess. |
Re: Tell me about rare color combos!
While working on the 1969 Road Runner book I've come across a myriad of 2 tone cars. One in particular is X9 Black with a A4 Silver roof.

Re: Tell me about rare color combos!
I was just offered a very unusual 69 Camaro. Exterior code 40 Butternut yellow, F Code Dark Brown vinyl top, with a Code 723 green interior

Re: Tell me about rare color combos!
Here is the Olympic Gold 1969 Nova I had with green interior. Although the exterior was repainted to match the interior. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...gusti_2002.jpg https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...69_eaa_290.jpg |
Re: Tell me about rare color combos!
Any idea how many 69 Z28's had white hounds tooth interior?

At least one ... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img] Mine lol |
Re: Tell me about rare color combos!
My 977 mile '69 Camaro was born Glacier Blue w/ White painted roof and blue standard interior. Doesn't look like that now, but original trim tag is still present.

Re: Tell me about rare color combos!
Man I really like the Champagne color... I wish someone would accurately match the color in a new formulation.
BTW I do like the Champagne over Red guts, it works together. |
Re: Tell me about rare color combos!
I like it too...BKH

Re: Tell me about rare color combos!
I saw a hugger orange Z with green interior and thought I had pictures but not seeing them right off. It was odd
|
Re: Tell me about rare color combos!
There's a pic attached of that HO/green std car on my old post on page 19 of this thread. As a lover of both Hugger Orange and interesting combos I still can't make myself like it. I saw the car in person and it wasn't any better.

Re: Tell me about rare color combos!
Was the one you saw an RS? I am in ohio and wondering if there could be two of these [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/sick.gif[/img]

Re: Tell me about rare color combos!
No I don't believe it was an RS. But then that would mean two different people thought it was a good idea......

Had a '68 Palomino 396-350 hp with column shift, bucket seats, manual steering, power disc brakes, 3:55 posi. Low mile, senior owned from here. Fun car, and loved the color. Really liked the combo how he ordered it. |
Re: Tell me about rare color combos!
I don't know how rare it was or not, but back in 1988 I bought a 1967 Camaro RS that was Sierra Fawn exterior with standard gold interior from the original owner. I thought they looked fine together. I sold it in 1994, a decision I still regret.

66 Chevelle Convertible , Danube Blue, Fawn Interior and Top. Anyone seen another one this color? |
Re: Tell me about rare color combos!
Wow, any more pics of that '66 Chevelle? That's such a contemporary color combo, love it.
|
Re: Tell me about rare color combos!

Re: Tell me about rare color combos!
Love that Chevelle, great combo. Some of those oddball combos are tough to love, but that one is killer.

Re: Tell me about rare color combos!
Back in the '80s, I ordered a couple new Oldsmobiles as sold orders. While certainly not muscle cars, these two were unique nonetheless. A 1985 Olds Delta 88 2dr in Dk Sable Brown w/ burgundy cloth seats. And a 1988 Olds Cutlass Cruiser wagon (Ciera FWD) in Medium Charcoal Metallic w/ Saddle leather seating. The wagon had woodgrain and actually looked real good; the Delta 88 not so much. I had to write override letters to the Zone Rep, but once he signed off, the orders were accepted and the units were built.

But dark blue/fawn wasn't odd: http://chevellestuff.net/1966/exteri...rior.htm#SS396 |
Re: Tell me about rare color combos!
Ah, OK. Well either way, it's in the rare color combo thread so I thought it was. Still looks great.
|
Re: Tell me about rare color combos!
I think my shirt/pants combo today was blue/fawn! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img]

I'm thinking it should be a '3'? |
Re: Tell me about rare color combos!
Yes Marlin, I would say a 3.
I do not have a pic of the TT, but when I blow up the pic of the sheet it definitely looks like a 3. VIN is 114279W423619 if you can roule out a five with that info. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img] Ha ! Found this when I put the old title back in the envelope. Sometimes making notes is a good thing.

Re: Tell me about rare color combos!
A few years back, I passed on a 70 L78 Nova that was originally Astro Blue, with White top and light blue gut, never saw another one even remotely close to that
|
Re: Tell me about rare color combos!
That Nova sounds like a pretty car!
|
Re: Tell me about rare color combos!
Interesting, our '69 Nova is an 02A car with body number WRN259193. So, it was built the prior week with about 41,000 bodies in between!!

Re: Tell me about rare color combos!
The other day at the auction I saw a '16 Corvette Z06 Convertible in dark blue over bright red leather. I knew the guy that ordered the car (for his wife) but it sustained minor shipping damage and GM wouldn't make any price concession other that repairing the damage. To make a long story short; the repair was undetectable and he still refused to take the car as GM attached the transit damage to the car's history. The fellow told me had to pay $545.00 for a "non-recommended" color override. I know the car might sound weird by description, but WOW!!! Was it sharp looking!!!

Re: Tell me about rare color combos!
Not the rarest color combo here, but how many black-on-black '68 Camaros actually came from the factory that way?

Re: Tell me about rare color combos!
Here's a gold-on-brown-on-green '69 X55 Super Sport.

Re: Tell me about rare color combos!
Not sure about the green interior, but the brown on gold doesn't look bad.
|
Re: Tell me about rare color combos!
Thats a poorly done brown Hockey stick stripe. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]
|
Re: Tell me about rare color combos!
Could you get a brown hockey stick stripe? I thought it was either white, black or red.

Re: Tell me about rare color combos!
White, back, or red is correct. Stripe is like a mustache on Brooke Shields.
|
Re: Tell me about rare color combos!
That was the suggested colors in the Dealer book. But I have yet to see another one in this combo. It was also featured in Chevelle world Magazine sept /oct 2012 for this reason. I would love to see another one. it Has a/c too. Ordered new at Norman Boguess Chevy In Madisonville KY then went to AZ and CA then back to NC.

At least the orange, Ford "CAUTION FAN" sticker is correctly colored, albeit incorrect. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img] |
Re: Tell me about rare color combos!
A friend of mine had two 69 Camaro's. They were both Hugger Orange with blue standard interior. One was an SS and one was a standard.
