Actually many of us really like the *frost green* (a light metallic green) paint, with dark green vinyl roof and interior..  it's a nice combo!

I like the frost green. Dark green vinyl and green interiors not so much.... Beauty is in the eye of the beholder my friend, just like there's an ass for every seat.

I'm sorry, my facetiousness didn't read well in my post. I think its an awesome color combination, like red red red. Maybe even better with an endura bumper. And especially on a 69, I keep forgetting there are prior years.

ugh, frost green sure.

frost green, green vinyl top, green interior..... :P

I like red, but red with a red vinyl top red interior, to much.

I think the green top is the deal breaker for me.

Last year at the Camaro Superfest show, there were 3 triple green 69's. Not one was still green IIRC.

That's sad but true.  I see so many original green cars come through here that have already had a color change with the owner having no interest in going back original.  Tired of seeing the common colors.  I think people forget green was a very popular color in the late 60's and early 70's with all makes and model cars.
  Slowly these colors are coming back though.
I might be a little bias, my Z is frost green but with white deluxe houndstooth and black stripes (no vinyl top).  My father bought his GTO brand new (still has it)  Dark green with white vinyl top and white interior.  It got it's first and only paint job back in about 1988 or so.  Funny back then no one cared about originality and he always got the same question "why did you repaint it green?"  and my father always had the same response "because that's the color it was originally"  Now here we are today glad that he kept the original color.  It stands out in a sea of red and black cars.

Not Green/Green.

Green/Green/Green=a bit much, IMO

But then again it would be tough for me to pull the trigger on a Daytona yellow car with yellow hounds tooth.

Everyone has an opinion, and thats why they made so many colors, right?

I would call the Camaro with several shades of green .. "understated and subtle, but classy..."

Not everyone desires a car with 'Resale Red' slapped all over it..  :)

Well if the red/red also had a red vinyl top, thats where the line would be drawn for me. That would be a "red nightmare"
