Re: two tone z28's

Re: two tone z28's

There's one even pictured on page 3 of the '87 Camaro brochure (even thoe it looks more like black).
Note; even though brochures and styles can always change without notice, that colour combo on the Z-28 did exist.

Re: two tone z28's

I am not sure about the extent of the use on the Camaro, but I know that many Trans Am's were made with the combo.. Usually (not all the time) what was avaialble on the TA was similar to the Z28 for colors, and the IROC was similar to the GTA for that matter.

Re: two tone z28's

To the best of my knowledge...Dark blue (color code 26) made in 85 model year. Electric blue not available on Z28 models only IROC which of course...no two tone. Thats all the blues I believe in 85

There were dark blue and medium blue Z28's with the silver gfx. Not sure which ones were available which years though.
