Just an OBTW . . .

One of the rarest colors for the 1969 Camaro is Butternut Yellow with just 0.8%

According to CRG they round to the nearest 0.5%. So 0.8% becomes 1%. Edited my post to reflect Champagne's lower % though. There is a reason of course why those three colors have such low production numbers: They became extra cost colors instead of RPO colors. Below is a revised 1969 Camaro Brochure page with the available colors. All 3 are missing. When this revision was made - I am not sure.

Agreed...

While I do love the Black and Blue cars, that right there has to be one of my favorite colors on a 69 car. Super clean car!!!
