Just how rare are the gray/charcoal Z28's?
A lot of people tell me that I have a rare color combination, with the dark gray body and charcoal ground effects. Any numbers or anything like that. It was also a z28 5.0 HO (1986) and had the high mounted brake light. Cant really think of anything else rare about it. THanks.

There were 17,886 (Paint code 84 / 7782) Gunmetal (Gray) camaros in 1986. Your interior is either Gray, Red, Saddle, or Black. According to this link there were only 74 Z28s with L69s in 1986. Of course the question remains whether these items are original on your vin.

This site says I have an LB9. I don't have the original engine anyways. But I wanna know if my car is unusual in any way.

It is possible there was 1. Also possible there was 74.
Sorry to say that your Vin indicates that you have an LB9 engine, not L69.

Does it look like this? 
Post some pictures of yours if you can. I'd love to see one that looks like mine. I have only seen one, and that was on cardomain.

I actually think I like yours better. Especially with the red interior acutally matching the car...droool.
I want red interior but it would look hoorid with my paintjob. Very nice ride.
