Default '69 Z/28, X77 D80, Special Paint Code

Man, this is cool, and tough to find as a special paint X77 car. Restoration isn't anywhere near a concours level, so I'm thinking the price will have to come down a good amount to sell in this market. It's NOM, too....

We think it doesn't match the car. Should be - B.

Just my observation the rivet goop looks very original and the right color. I don't think that tag has been off, JMO. No idea on the --, could it have been ordered with no stripes ?

I agree that the rivet goop looks like the Camaros I've owned from that build era.

Black was discontinued during the 1968 model year. However the initial release of the 1969 Camaro Showroom Album lists 18 colors with black at the top of the list. Several colors are flagged "check availability before ordering": 10, 40, 51, 61, 63 and 67. A later rev sheet for the album removes the flags from 51, 61 and 67.

There was also a document that designated certain colors as “Special Order” by assembly plant.

For Van Nuys those were 10, 40, 51, 61, 67; two tones 53-51, 51-53, 61-63.

For Norwood those were 40, 63; two-tone 61-63. What “Special Order” meant wasn’t clear.

The first rev of the 1969 Camaro Dealer Order Form is dated 6-68. Colors are not listed but there was a place to specify color. Dealers could start placing orders July 1, 1968; at that time black appeared to be an RPO color. Sometime later rev 0 of the US showroom brochure was released. Black [10], Butternut Yellow [40] and Champagne [63] are not listed. They are also not listed in rev 1. The Canadian rev doesn't list colors. 10, 40, 63 are also not listed in the dealer ordering data.

But they were available. In checking the CRG db, from the start of production through the end of 1968 at both plants there are a very few of those colors. They are not designated as special paint. After January 1969 they become far more common. Black, Champagne and Butternut Yellow were extra-cost: $12.65.

At some point late in 1968 Chevy must have notified dealers that 10, 40, 63 would be available at extra cost. It is not known how earlier orders were handled.

Man do I dislike cars restored with deluxe covers and standard door panels. A pet peeve but it's always the eBay and auction cars that seem to appear like this. Almost like someone wanted the deluxe interior but cheaped out when they learned they'd have to replace the regulators and spend another $1600 for door panels and hardware.

When I see a trim tag that is that cleaned up... I immediately suspect that it’s been off the car... yet the rivets/goop look right to me? Given the two dashes, I’m going to guess that it was not a vinyl top car from the start? Perhaps ordered black with no stripes??
