Post by: 68kiwi on September 15, 2023, 08:17:19 PM

Hi all from New Zealand. This my 68 camaro that is very original and has never been painted. Still has its original 327 engine and power glide trans. Car was ordered new with Air Con and houndstooth trim.

Not many original paint Grotto Blue cars around. Looks great, but needs matching blue wheels IMHO.

Thanks. It’s Island Teal and I really prefer it on the black wheels but that’s only my opinion

Yes sir 68kiwi, and welcome from the NEW Z. And love your car, and your choice to signature it with your flavor. Your car your choice. Like mines, 69’ L78, with painted steelies(XT) and dog dish caps. But it being an X66 car, real big block I too have a flavor of not painting the rear tail panel black, and painting it body color! Love my Burgundy Maroon, yes even the rear tail panel Burgundy. In my 51 years of owning, never seen it with the blacked out rear tail panel. Was it a special ordered car, and ordered like this really don’t know. Maybe another forum issue to yet be discussed, just sayin, not sure. Thanks.

Might not be by the book, but the black wheels look good with the black vinyl top. Enjoy it. I can't tell by the picture, is it RHD?
