1969 Camaro Z/28 w/Special Order Paint

This! As I sit here with my daughter getting her dialysis done...I will offer my opinion as well.

I am blown away that there has been this many pages and posts on this car. People are expecting a polaroid picture from 40 plus years ago to be color correct now? Also, since when did the ordering dealer and the original owners word mean nothing? As was mentioned above.. People would kill to have this much documentation on their car! At this point...this has become rather foolish.

Clem, thanks for coming on here to share your thoughts on your former Z28. With all due respect to all involved, experts make mistakes. That's what happened here...

Don't you think there might be a chance that its faded or that the technology of polaroid cameras back then isn't remotely as good as what a cell phone takes today? The pic even looks faded to me. Just saying I wouldn't base anything on that picture. If the color isn't exactly EO, then it was slightly mis-mixed at the factory. Clems and the dealerships reputation are not in question here in any way.......Bill S </div></div>

I just got off the phone with the owner of what is being called &quot;the truth&quot; Camaro. The owner will have the car a MCACN this year for anyone who wants to see it. He has spent days cleaning the car, and told me there is NO purple primer on this car anywhere. ..BKH

To recap...

Some 40yr old paint looks Purple in recent pictures, and 40yr old pictures of Purple paint doesn't .....

Clem, my &quot;Innocent&quot; comment was in response to an earlier post whose last remark was &quot;If it doesn't fit, you must acquit&quot;; not at you, sir. So, are you saying that your friend had another ZL-1 Corvette that, until this point was unknown? Please, please do tell......and fill us in on your other past cars.
I think sometimes (I'm guilty also) we believe in ourselves so much that even cold, hard evidence won't make us think otherwise. Not a bad trait to have, but being strong willed also means that verifying the truth is imperative so we can form that forged opinion.
Everyone here is fanatical about these cars, or we wouldn't be here in the first place, but NOT everything about these old cars is as easy as black or white, or right or wrong. I think down deep we all are honest people who believe we are right/correct and might need to take a step back and take a breath and count to 10.
Can't make MCACN again this year.....&quot;Won't you let me take you on a ........Sea Cruise&quot;.

Fluorescent light......
Sun light ... .
Incandescent light.....
And time of the day ALL SHOW DIFFERENT ON EVERY COLOR.....

46 Years of age and light on a Polaroid is not the same color as it once was......

Just saying....

This whole mess is your fault. Patty wanted something closer to Plum Crazy Purple, not that pink car. If you had ordered a 1970 Plum Crazy Purple 340 6 pack Challenger we would not be having this discussion.
