Wow, what a striking combination !  Hugger Orange inside & out !!

When was this orange hounds tooth deluxe interior offered on non-Indy Pace Cars?  Early, mid, or late builds?

Steve

Steve,

The trim tag is on the first post.  The 3rd week of May 69.

Tim

how did you find the car?did you find it through word of mouth,or through a local want ad etc.

Someone actually listed it in the classifieds.  The ad said "69 camaro rag top for sale".   I called my buddy and we went and looked at it right away and when they opened the shed door and we both just about crapped.  From the ad I was thinking convertable, not 69 Z28 w/a vinyl top. 

Tim

BTW, sell the mustang  and work on the Camaro  !

I second that!  

Paul

I need to finish the mustang to sell it, for the $$$ to start on the camaro.  D:

Another.

I am all for it if it has to be there to restore it to its orginal factory condition.  If I was to make a resto-mod I would probably leave it off.   

Here is mine:  I found her in Nov 06 in a barn, after a 25yr nap.

Very nice find! is it all there? engine, tranny etc etc

Dave

As far as I can tell it is all there.  The DZ302 was out of the car on a stand next to it.  The tranny was in the trunk.  I brought it home and wrapped it up for the winter, so I really didn't have time to look at all the dates/numbers that are on the car.  I am afraid to unwrap it, cause then I am going to want to start working on it.  I have a 67 Mustang that I have to finish first. 

Tim

Here we go.  I am going to try and attach a few pics.

Tim -

Very cool!        That's the first one I've seen with those colors.  Are you going to restore it?

Paul

My plan is to restore it to its original condition, but I am really interested to see how rare it is.  I am still in shock that I was able to find something like this in a barn.

Here is another.


Remember....this car hasn't seen the road for 25yrs.

Here we go.  I am going to try and attach a few pics.

How about posting a picture...  I'd like to see what the black top looks like!

Phillip -

Here's what that color combination looks like:

What do you think?  Do you like it?

Paul

Paul,  to me it looks like the stripes on the D80 spoiler are painted wrong.  I don't think they are suppose to wrap around. 

Tim

Hey,

I have to resize all my images.  I will try and get that done so you can see it.  I will also have to go unwrap the car and get a pic of the cowl tag for you. 

LakeHolme - You are seeing the same thing as I did.  I have yet to see another TR720/72B combination. 

Hey,  since this is my first post, I would like to say "Hello"   to all the camaro fanatics in here.  I am sure I will be lurking around a lot when it get time to start tearing into my barn find.

Here is the info.  What I would like to know is how rare is this combination Int Color/Ext Color w/ Black top.  I have yet to see a specimine like it.
