1968 special paint

We're black stripes on a blue Z28 considered special paint? This Z28 has a - - on the cowl tag.

Yes, stock stripes would have been white, special paint would have have been ordered to get back. I personally think black and blue look awesome together!

Looks like it has body colored rally wheels which definitely have been observed on some special paint Camaros. Does it have a blue vinyl top?

It sure looks blue in the picture and agree with Bryon as many of us would like to know more about that Camaro.
X2 on the great eye Jon as that did not jump out at me.
On a side note, love the 65 goat beside it as that is one of my favorite cars.

It was bought new at Vernell Chevrolet in Tennessee. The original owner was in the Navy and ended up in Groton CT with the Camaro. He traded the Camaro in on a 1972 El Camino at Scuncio Chevrolet and Bob Johnson handed the car over to Steve Starre and Carl Roberts to run in his race team.

This photo was taken after the cowl hood was added not long before it was traded in at Scuncio.

So it was originally Lemans Blue, black stripes and black vinyl top?

Any docs that indicate the details of the special paint?
