The car was at Chevy Vettefest in fall of 2008 in Darren's 69 Z28 display.

------The Z mentioned was completely repainted since shown in Chicago due to the painter using bad quality clear. Many here on the board saw the car then and I want to make that clear. I had to use a second shop and pretty much strip the entire car. It is now absolutely killer. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif......Bill S

This Z was indeed a standout in Darrens Z/28 display, and that is really saying something, considering every car in the display was outstanding!

I can relate, we are going to totally repaint the 69 Daytona Yellow/ Yellow Houndstooth BB Camaro we are currently doing due to poor prepwork and body fit. gotta make it right though

Would look better without the stripes!

Wow, that IS a striking color combo. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

I think the black stripes actually compliment the black basketweave in the seats quite well.

I agree. The stripes make the car in this particular color combo. You would think more would have been ordered in this combo.

Well, black matches everything, so it doesn't matter whether there's black in the interior or not.

But what I was getting at is that, to my eyes, the black stripes make the Z look like any other Z out there. It distracts my eyes from the interior, which is what should stand out. The car could look like any other Z out there if it wasn't for the interior, and since I like white/red combos, the effect seems to be downplayed by the stripes.

Now if there were matching orange stripes, it would be more attractive to me, but that's been done in the form of the Z11.

Definately an interesting combo. I like it. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
