Hey everyone, I'm going to have an old Camaro fall in my lap soon. My mom bought it about five years ago and has been slowly restoring it. After all this time, it's up to tip-top mechanical condition.

Here are some photos:

The interior needs to be redone and it needs new paint bad. While photos make it look a little better, there is no clear coat left from the last restoration that was performed God knows how many years ago. The engine is a 327 from a '68 Camaro because the original 350 blew. On the bright side, the engine has been entirely rebuilt for performance.

What colors would you guys suggest for the exterior? For the interior? The only colors I can't use are ALL white or any pink.

 

I've always been a sucker for black.........black exterior and black interior............or red exterior with tan interior.

 

I'm feeling the burnt orange with black stripes like the new Camaros... that colour would make that car POP w/o it being overly loud looking.

 

Where are you at in WI?

 

My dad has a 77.... In my opinion, you cant go wrong with a white interior or black interior.... and then a Metallic blue coat of paint... The second gens are so damn sexy

 

I'm kinda diggin the white with blue stripes. maybe change up the stripes a little bit

 

I'd say a nice yellow with black stripes for exterior and black leather interior.

I'm a blackout kinda guy, but I'm feeling yellow on that thing for reasons I can not explain!

 

I think burnt orange and black with black interior
or yellow and black with black interior

or I would be a little more original and run this color scheme.


I normally don't like green but that is a sweet green.

 

i'm feeling and extirior colour of "Root beer" with an off-white & cream interior.

with a set of 18's & 20's, in a retro styled wheel. nothing too gaudy.

now that would be sick!

 

Thanks for the suggestions!

I don't want an all black car though, too much heat for my tastes. I'll take a picture of the interior right now. It's pretty torn up for being the second interior. I like the current paint but there's no gloss left and I don't know if I'll like it redone.
