I seen a dark purple, plum crazy type camaro a long time ago, it looked real nice but I wouldn't want a purple one....

What about you guys?

 

mines purple!!!





going to be orange with white racing strips

 

It seems like the rarest colors seem to be yellow, blue, and silver. I've seen yellow and blue ones before in person, but never silver.

Its also rare to see Heritage Cars like ours. i've only ever seen 2 of them driving around.

 

rarest around my area seems to be white , every color under then sun and never seen a white one

 

i live in GA where i seem to get all of the colors...still have yet to see a sliver one actually on the road.

 

honestly around my area of long island, i hardly ever see a thirdgen anymore, in any color....it's weird b/c I've always had the mind set they were a dime a dozen, but that is far from the case now. Since I have got one(alittle over 3months now) I could probably count on my hands how many I've seen around here, and thats including my buddies 89RS. I think there geting rarer, maybe that is just this area though

 

i have seen a few around here, usually see more mustangs than anything though... i know of one all blue camaro, one black primerd camaro, and mine which is no longer blue/silver gfx its blue/greyprimer/red valance pieces! dont see to many on the road

 

I'm from long island too and seeing a 3rd gen is not usual....i always see 4th gens though all the time

 

Right theres so many of them, but I hardly ever see any thirdgens either were I live I meen theres a few, but most of them are pieces, I think most of them ended up in the junkyard or something

 

lol, i know what you mean, you can usually hear them all before you see them too, there pretty cool, but it's a nice suprise when you see another thirdggen fly by every now and then.

Well if thats the case, I wish they were in the junkyards by me, they got crap here, and they charge you and arm and a leg

 

Yo your yellow camaro is nice! I like the black stripes with yellow...

I see 4th gens all the time! Mustangs are a dime a dozen...

Did you buy that camaro yellow or did you have it done like that?

 

Try to find a picture of a "sunset orange metallic" Thirdgen. Really rare to see those.

Theres an abundance of Red Camaros!

 

I remember when I bought mine back in 1989...it was red, that's you ever saw around was the reds, blues, blacks, burgandy...etc. So I decided to paint mine yellow in 1993 because no-one had that color where I lived, The car definately did get alot of looks in my town...next thing you now a buddy of mine decided to paint his '87 Trans am yellow...damn copycats!

 

Here's my silver 85 IROC. I've never seen another one in person.

Attachment 131531

 

i own a white 89 camaro rs, lol

 

well i seen white on here just not up close , there is one guy near RPI that drives a silver with bluew racing stipes a darker grey like graphit

 

the guy painted it and right after he painted it sold it to me, it used to be blue

 

Man, the ones in the junkyards around here are picked clean.....I think silver is kinda rare..Never seen one here, but would like to....

 

did they even make "silver" 3rd gens? ive seen plenty of grey ones....

 

Gunmetal Grey is kinda silver-ish




In my opinion, the rare colors out there are:

-That sunset orange color that was only offered like 1 year on the IROC-Z
-Teal
-Purple
-Gunmetal Grey
-Ultra Metallic Blue
-Any true heritage package (white/red, red/black, black/red)

 

Here's a pic of a sunset orange metallic so everyone can see what we're talking about.



Phyte

 

Did he get the door jambs and engine bay too, or are those still the original color?

 

Yes, look at the link I provide. It's called Silver Met. (IROC-Z only).

JamesC

 

i love codename47's car colors holy ****

 

My 85 Iroc looks exactly like James C's.

 

I guess MN is pretty lucky, Ive seen an abundance of pretty much every color except purple haze

 

Purple Haze Z28 convertible with tan top....FTW

 

I find the 'rarest' colors to be:

1. Silver (85)
2. Med. Orange Met.
3.Yellow
4. Gunmetal

My dad used to own a silver 85 iroc with a h.o. 5spd<= rare. Sold it for $800 too. And I almost bought an yellow 87 Iroc. until i figured out how much insurance was lol. But I am pretty sure i've seen all other colors in person included the ones listed.

 

That car is *******. If it was for sale anywhere in my price range I'd be on it like a drunk and a fat lady.

 

The color that people are refering to is Medium Orange Metallic, only offered in 1988. Sunset Orange Metallic is the 4th gen color. Heres a pic of my car, still original paint.

 

Mine is the Dark Metallic Grey (aka Gunmetal Grey)

Im still debating whether to paint it the same color or to paint it Ultra Blue Metallic.

Any thoughts?

Note that I would much prefer the blue, but i dont hate the grey.

Polo Green is pretty rare, only available in 92 for the thirdgen Camaro. See alot of 4th gens in green though...........jt

 

Burnt Orange on an '86 Z28. My dad's buddy is the original owner, 119000 KM and it looks like it just came off the showroom floor...

 

yep ive never seen a polo green in my town or anywhere for that matter. We do have way to many red 4th gens at my school though.

 

I see a lot of crappy rusty white ones now that I think about it...

I love that silver and red iroc, and the gun metalmaro is hot!!

 

yea green is very rare for a thirdgen...I almost went with the forest green that my dad has on his 02 silverado when I went in for repaint

 

Here's another pic of a green Camaro here. Was a PPG mix but I lost the codes so I dunno what they are anymore (but dosn't matter because the car is being painted again).

 

here is a pic of my sebring silver Z28. Not org. color. The car use to be burgandy. I just used the same paint code used on the 4th gen Fbodys for this color

I really like the GTA's with the gunmetal color

 

In 1982, 29,2xx Silver Metallic Camaros were produced. This was second only to White with 29,4xx produced. There ought to be one or two out there some where still running.

I have one of the white ones in my garage. It appears from the color breakdown on camarosource.ca for 1982 Camaros that the rarest color( other than the Indy Pace Car color scheme) is the Light Jade Metallic, followed by the Dark Jade Metallic and then Gold Metallic. Light Jade was apparently only available on Sport Coupe and only about 1100 were produced. Wonder how many of those are still around

Both Jade colors were only available for the 1982 model year. Guess those colors just did not sell well enough to keep around.

Silver Met. was available on IROC's in 85 only. I suggest that silver and silver met. are two different colors. At any rate, for the number of "silver" Camaros produced from 82-88, I'm surprised I've never seen one.

JamesC

 

While i see an ocasional 92 in my color (purple haze) theyre usually not in that good condition.. A buddy of mine has a Jade Grey GTA too, which is kinda rare at that.. so when we get our colors together its kinda neat.

I think ive seen 3 in my color around my area, sooo...

here's an example of my car..(as though you guys havent seen it enough already)

 

I have a yellow camaro and not many people have that color around my area in general. I have never seen a forest green or even just a green 3rd gen in my area. Oh yeah,BOTTLEDZr28, nice black strips on the road. vbmenu_register("postmenu_3182685", true);

 

The most common thirdgen color around my neck of the woods is the ultra-rare "4-tone" job where the majority of the car is flat black but has a blue door, a red hood and a maroon spoiler.

Seriously, I have one of only three NICE thirdgens around here. The other two are Camaros. One has 85 orig. miles (what a waste). All the other thirdgens around here are crap.

 

IM afraid your condition is similar to the condition down here in SC.. most of the thirgens are beat teh hell up.

 

mine is 2005 gm sunburst orange metallic
