Omaha Orange 69 SS 396 Original Owner Day 2
 
8 Attachment(s)
A guy near me still owns his 69 SS 396 Camaro he bought new at Kenny Ross Chevrolet Pittsburgh . Rare special order color-Omaha orange. Owner is working on the interior and plans to have the car out this spring after a long hibernation. No..it is not for sale..the car is going to his son.

Owner repainted the car in 1975 out of a little garage and the paint is still like new.

Notice is being tow bared by a GTO going to Pittsburgh International Dragway.

Awesome pics of the car, and one in front of a Studebaker dealership! Just how they were Day2'd back in the day...priceless.

That looks tough, very much the way I remember the Kool Hot Rods back in the day.

bad ass looking... Loving the day two stuff more and more. Looks a lot like my old Z16 was when we got it in the 70's. Same intake/carb/valvecovers

That car is absolutely gorgeous! I'm not a big fan of aluminum slots but they look perfect with the side pipes. Congrats to your friend and his son.

Terrific car, and sure like the Omaha Orange! When did he add the side pipes?

Wonderful! Neat color. A Picksburg car from Kenny Ross no less. Saw this over on FB. Thanks for bringing it over here!

I remember seeing the car in the late 70's and it had the side pipes on then.. probably mid 70's-73-74

Omaha Orange looks close to Hugger Orange or am I wrong? Great car. I like the endura bumper really looks great on an RS.

In real life totally different shades.

L78M22Rag 02-17-2018 06:49 PM

Isn’t Omaha Orange the color that Dana Chevrolet often painted their cars?

isnt Omaha orange what became Hemi Orange/vitamin C for mopars? when it became a high impact color wasnt it renamed?

for some reason that sticks in my mind

John Brown 02-17-2018 08:09 PM

According to Moparts, Omaha Orange is a non metallic color, while Vitamin C is a metallic color.

Mr70 02-17-2018 09:23 PM

Omaha Orange was/is used on many states Highway dept. service vehicles too.

A friend of mine's dad had an LT-1 paint with the same red white and blue. He built it around at the time of the bi-centennial
