Project "Dorothy" daily driven 1969 Camaro

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

You are correct, the car came from the assembly line in the frost green.

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

Very nice! You have an awesome ride and have done well with it! I am planning on having my Biscayne as a Daily Driver once it is complete as well.

I'm with you. You're not enjoying it if it sits in the garage 99% of the time.

Oh, I thought we were supposed to take out a 3rd mortgage and build them for a decade only to never drive them? LOL

Decided to try a new intake manifold that's closer matched to the cam/ heads

Still driving the snot out of this car. I blew up the motor last November, built a new 383 for it, switched out the Flowmaster mufflers, with Borla XR-1 I am extremely happy with the current setup, aside from still not gotten around to painting it. lol
