Re: 1969 Carolina Blue X-ram Z28??
If the real Trans-Am cars had a black grille, then that's why this one does.
It's been about 10 years since I've read that article, but the story made an impression on me. I'm sure if I'm wrong, someone will chime in.

Re: 1969 Carolina Blue X-ram Z28??
I remember allot of the original paperwork was in the John Hooper book on 1969 Camaros but I do not remember if the story about the car was in that book. There are a couple of Carolina blue 1969 SS RS Camaros that pop up on E-bay every couple of months. I remember one of them had a story about a daughter of a Chevrolet dealer going to UCLA and he ordered her a car in the school colors.

Re: 1969 Carolina Blue X-ram Z28??
I beleive Jim Mattison said there were quite a few Carolina Blue cars ordered in the late 60's early 70's... There is a LS6 Chevelle with Blue Interior.

Re: 1969 Carolina Blue X-ram Z28??
I thought this car was a west coast car so it technically wouldn't be "carolina blue". I thought it was a Colorado car and that's why the custom blue was ordered. But I could be confusing it with the UCLA blue as well. I think it was ordered with JL8 brakes as well but was too late as the option was cancelled.

I have a 73 Z28/LT camaro carolina blue. Very cool color, one color you will not see at many car shows. It is getting restored as new back in the day. Maybe will add some day 2 items. Roger
