Default Looking for PICS of a 69 Camaro w/ Blue Vinyl Roof

Hi I'm new here...My father just picked a gem of a 69 Camaro (250 6cyl, Glide, Standard Blue Buckets, Dover White) We are eventually going to do a color change on it so for now I'm looking for pictures of Camaros with a blue vinyl roof. We're leaning toward any shade of blue (Glacier,Dusk, Lemans etc.) With the car being white with blue interior do you guys have any suggestions for this "blank canvas" ?

We have a 427 TH-350 Combo waiting to go in as well

Welcome.
I say leave the "blank canvas" as is.That's a very stunning & refreshing color combo.

That's the plan for this year, with repaint planned for the winter but you never know, the Dover White might just grow on us! Thanks for the suggestion. PS would you put a blue vinyl roof over the Dover white? I've never seen such a combo on a 69

Personally,I'd leave the roof alone.It highlites the interior more..

Lemans blue with blue vinyl top should look great...

Where are pix of the Blue Mule?

I gravitate toward the less popular color combos. Personally, if you're set on a color change, I would probably vote for Glacier Blue with the Blue top and guts. However, if it were mine I would leave it White. I see more and more White cars surfacing. Rich Rutt's Nova, Fran Roberts' Nova, the sYc Chevelle that's nearing completion, another L-78 Nova out in NJ ( ), the Douglass Y Camaro, ............... just to name a few.

White w/Blue top & guts would POP!

Thanks guys, went for my first drive with it today, it has the optional two speed trans that had to be shifted from low to drive...it was $100 cheaper than the power glide!

Anyway the White is growing on me, but not sure about my father yet... I've been printing off pictures of different cars to show him so I'm still hunting for some pics of a 69 with a blue vinyl top. (its about the only combo I can't find) ... I was also thinking Cortez Silver with lots of chrome trim, dog dish hub caps and a black Hockey stick stripe?....any other suggestions

I think white with blue interior looks great!


With dog dishes, even better!
