We bought a 1969 Camaro...for me! Yay!

David finally decided he's going to divorce that girl, so he asked if he could store his Camaro in our garage. I took one look at it when the towtruck driver dropped it off and I knew it was destiny. We have to restore it and Mike says I can pick any color I want. I want a metallic orange. It'll be so exciting!!!

[Moose]

Hmm...metallic orange, eh? Interesting...

[Tonya]

Orange is my favorite color. lol.

[Moose]

Hey, I wasn't complaining.

That sounds cool. What memories that brings back!

My sister had a camaro that was metallic orange when she was a teen and I was around 9 or 10. It had this horrible black interior which isn't too great in Texas in the summer. She left her windows down one night and a cat had her kittens in the back floor.

That car was never right again.

I want white leather interior...Here are some of the color oranges that I have in mind:









What a 1969 Camaro looks like:

[Moose]

Oooooh...I like the first one.

[Tonya]

I think I do too, I don't want it to be to shiny...

[GoldenRetrLuver]

Ooooh, wow. I like the second one. So shiny... Congrats on the car!

[Moose]

Hehe...I'm not too big of a fan of major shine. That second one is just too much for me...and the third isn't my top choice in shades -- It's a little too orange.

[micki76]

My sister's was closer to the fourth one.

my first car that i owned was a 1977 red camaro. god was it terrible! i got the car from the original owner in 1985. huge chuncks of the body had allready fallen off from rust. what didn't fall off was fiberglass panels. the vinyl on the seats tore if you looked at it sideways. it wasn't a money pit tho, just routine maintence. how did it happen that such a great carline could go bad so fast?

[RubyMutt]

Congrats!

I, personally, *LOVE* your choice of color. Orange is my favorite color as well; and you just don't see all that many orange cars around.

Be sure to post some photos of it when you're done (I know, it'll be awhile )
