Yuck! Maybe it wouldn't look bad if it wasn't monotone. So what paint code is that? :clonk: :D

Looks kinda like "seafoam green"....a color that seemed to be popular in the late 80's/early 90's....I remember seeing a '63 Galaxie in the same color, same paint scheme....

well it might be that it;s not quite so bright in person. Better suited to a 50s car though. Plus it might have helped if he hadn't painted everything :clonk:

You wouldn't recommend chrome with this color would you?

This color and a flat black trim might be acceptable....

looks more like it should be buried in the desert so as not to infect any other cars.

hey i work at mcdonalds, but i agree with those ronald mcdonald cars. like the red,and yellow viper. that very rear color is not in any chevelle book i have. the only thing that could possible make it worse is put reflectos all over it, some strobe lights, and of corse those ever cool hydrolics.

I must be missing something--" Factory Sunroof" on a Camino. What was that option code? I must have missed it when I ordered my Camino in 1970.
Excuse me I did not know A sunroof was an option, Sorry guys. Bob

"Desert Turquoise" was the color of one of the most feared super modifieds
in the country......his cars were all this color since 1964.
Rest in peace Jimmy.

Since when did Chevrolet offer torque thrusts on there SS cars? I'd like to talk to engine builder though, a gear drive fliud dampner, oil pump heads, quick ratio front springs, sounds COOL!!
