Here are a few pictures that I thought were cool next to each other.

Not too much difference between the two pictures LOL Nice!

Any future plans of swapping some sort of LS in this puppy? I really dig the green. Factory color?

Thanks I am on the fence about the LS swaps. I know it’s worth it for power per dollar, and it’s relatively easy to do, but I’ve always liked being a little bit of an outsider and keeping things different. I get ALOT of people shocked that I’m still running an old school SBC. Also, the sound of an LS (from my experience) cannot compare to a stout SBC or BBC. One day down the road, I may give in and swap over, but for now, I’m staying traditional. As for paint, it’s original GM paint, but not fathom green. It’s British racing green. |
Thanks for the reply. I couldn’t remember the name of green GM used. I really like it (yours).
You can be different being one of the last 69 Camaros to switch to LS power. Or…… go L86 GenV. You may not be the first but every time you start it of fill it up, you’ll really notice the gas mileage increase |
Cool car, looks it was originally Frost green based on the trim tag and the still visible fenders. 1968 is when they offered what you have now British Green

I have a 5.3 from a truck that's sitting on the side of my house right now, but I have planned to use it in my 57 Chevy, so that may sway me to swap the Camaro too if it works out well. |

The original owner went to the dealership and there was this car in the frost green, and a Z28 4 speed next to it in Fathom green. She didn't want a 4 speed car, so... According to the story (and paperwork / receipts I have) the dealership made the sale by painting the car for her in the darker green that she desired. Definitely don't get that service these days. haha The paperwork states dark green, not Fathom or British Racing green, so when I purchased the car, I had assumed it was Fathom. I bought paint for the hood and spoiler, and once sprayed, that's when I realized the shade difference. I was at a car show locally and parked next to a 68 Camaro in BRG. Before then, I hadn't heard of the color |
I like Frost Green, it looks sharp. 1968 was the only year for the British Green color on the 1st gen Camaro. You've done good on the upgrades while driving it and not blown apart in pieces in the garage lol
