hard to find color combo-navy/gold effects anyone?

Hey all, this is more for curiosity more than anything else, but, its been bugging me. Long time ago, a neighbor across the street had a Z28, I would say maybe 86 or 87, but could be I think 85 as well. Anyway, this car was a navy blue, or dark blue, hardtop, and had gold ground effects on it. I dunno if it had a louvered hood, but I guess all Z's had them, right? This car was Bad-a$$, and probably contributed to me wanting one of em when I was old enough to drive. He traded it in on a red (yech) iroc t-tops, in my mind a downgrade, but no offense, just not my style.

so the question is, can anyone post a picture of a navy iroc with gold effects??? I've dug around and can't seem to find a reference to one colored this way. Also, the reader's rides are not working, so I couldn't browse there. It also looks like there are multiple paint codes for the years through 85-87, so were the colors different? This car was just smooth looking, and I might want to paint my car this scheme.

thanks!

I had a navy blue/gold 1987 Z-28 (not Iroc).. ended up totaling it. It was beautiful. Mint condition. I should not have owned a car like that in 1992 when I was only 20yrs old. Was searching for a pic like it, just for nostalgia.

I think I recall the blue/gold Camaros, but can't find any pictures. Anyway, if I were you I'd just get a car this color:
