Topic: BROWN BIRDS

[mont1le]

i think brown is over looked because whenever you find a brown one, the paint is faded and not very appealling, but look how it looks with a nice new paint job... beautiful!!

agree, i love all shades of brown on a ta.  a guy stopped me at a gas station and asked why i did not paint it black, i told him that brown was the factory color and he did not believe me, tool.

I used to own a beige 79 Z28. You could only imagine the comments I got. "That could'nt have been factory", "Why did you paint it that color.", "Ewe". 

Damon23,
Beautifull Z-28, a friend back in High School circa 1982 had one exactly like yours same color tan interior with a 4 spd, I used to love that car cause of the rare color.
Was yours a 4spd, wonder if it's the same car.
Another rare color for 79 Z-28s  was that pale green, I have not seen one like yours or the green one in over 20 years.

I can't believe you posted a picture of a beige '79 Z-28.  I saw one once in the service bay circ 1979 at Zayre's in Hanover Massachusetts and loved it.  I have never seen another one.  I think it's a great combo.  Thanks for sharing!

No, not the bird... it looks lik a chrome metal strip on the rear side of the door window. it looks like the window fits inside of it. I don't see it on any other ta's....

That was just some kind of molding.
