Unique Color 85 Z28

Does anyone know what color this 85 Z28 is? It’s very unique. I have not seen an Z ever in this color. Looks stock.

Wow, I don't think I've ever seen an '85 in that color, either.

Maybe it's a special order paint car? Someone needs to get a pic of the option label..

Have any of you contacted him for more information? It’s about 2-2 1/2 hours away, but I could probably go and take a look for you, if you’re serious about wanting to buy it.

Re: Unique Color 85 Z28

It should be a two tone paint scheme if a Z28 so it has some new paint at least on Gfx. No Irocs painted anything close to that color. White book not in front of me but I thought there was a brown/dark copper paint option but it may of been 82-84 only.

Re: Unique Color 85 Z28

It's either 60 Light Brown, or 69 Copper. Both colors were offered on in 85 on the Berlinetta, Sport Coupe, and Z28 (not Iroc). 3,093 Light Brown, 11,406 Copper.

Re: Unique Color 85 Z28

You would think it also would have gold color wheels with that color scheme if it where stock. Not grey,
