smart guy that I am...9800 mile 69 Camaro

Maybe 2 months ago I finally bought this 69 Camaro from a lady in New York. Lemans blue with white vinyl top, white std interior. As a girl she had watched the old lady down the street drive it sparingly and loved the car. Years later the lady died and she bought it at the estate sale. It is a 6 cylinder, power steering, column auto, radio delete car. The interior is as nice as I've ever seen. Carpet looks new. Steering wheel looks new...So for a couple months I have been looking forward to it's arrival.

Imagine my surprise when it unloads with a white painted roof and is Azure Turquoise...maybe I should have asked ? Maybe I should have asked for a pic of the trim tag ? Sometimes I just don't pay attention...Still looks Lemans blue to me.

....interesting that the trim around the painted roof does not have the center of it blacked out like I have always seen on vinyl top cars.

Wow, thats fantastic! That 69 Camaro looks like a new car. I like the looks of the Sport Coupe. The indoor photos do look like Azure Turquoise, the outdoor photo look like LeMans Blue.

Oh well, not like you would have passed it up had you known it was Azure with a painted roof [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

She's a beauty, that's fer sure. I'm not surprised to see the engine looking like that....it looks positively pristine compared to the engine in my 23K mile Chevelle [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/crazy.gif[/img]

Congrats on a beautiful car. Not that many around in that paint combo. According to CRG only 2.4% where two tone color, divide that up on the total 6 combos and it would be roughly 1000 cars made in 55 50. Not many still around of those.
