Looks pretty good but I have to agree. The regular style orange Rally Stripes would have looked killer on this car. I really don't like these stripes at all. Can anyone photoshop the normal Rallys?

They can program the radio to say anything they want. And even if it were real...the radio can show XM without the sharkfin...it doesn't have to work for a photoshoot...

So what do I get when this thing does end up having a shark fin? :-P

Saw it live on BJ auction show. Will be a piece of memory for me. Very nice set up. I like the stripes set up on the dash, very cool.

I do wish they were just a little farther apart or outlined with pin stripes like mine but I still thing they look great. I have always felt like the standard rally stripes look unfinished on this particular body style.

Needs a white SS in the grille and it would be perfect. I can't believe they stick a gold bowtie in a "Heritage Grille". The heritage of the SS is a white SS badge front, back, and fenders.

I agree with that. I am not a big fan of the retro badge but it would have been really fitting to honor the original that way.

THAT...... is........PURDY!!!!!!!

Orange Krate · 01-20-2011, 08:16 PM

Glad they used the L99 (auto) instead of the LS3 with Mr. Clunk and Grind T6060. This car is a classic in time with or without the rag top.

CAM74 · 01-20-2011, 08:44 PM

Sure hope the top is White and the skirt tirm would look good orange to match the 69.black not cutting it for me.

The first pic of the two cars next to each other (the official shots not the ones from Barrett Jackson) I don't see a shark fin on the back but I am pretty sure that is a photoshopped promo image so I'm sure the fin will be there on the actual car. I am going to Barrett Jackson on Sunday so I'll check and take pics. I want my cookie!!

+1. If I remember right that was one of the interior designs from sema or something a year or so ago. Hope they make it an option I'm the future.

What a great car....lovin it!

nUcLeArEnVoY · 01-20-2011, 09:00 PM

Why do they keep putting those Mustang stripes on these cars lately?

fbodfather · 01-20-2011, 09:02 PM

A bit of trivia -

........when GM Design was still working on the concept - I walked into the studio one day......

.........and on the opposite wall from the door, there was a large (very large) picture - it was a picture of all the classic Camaro pace cars on the track at Indy - and in the foreground, someone had photoshopped a Camaro Convertible - almost EXACTLY as you see it in the thread........

I must admit - I got a lump in my throat and my eyes got real watery....(they leak a lot...)

I mean - the concept was still in clay - and this picture was such a vision of what everyone wished for........

.........and with tonight's announcement - it becomes reality......
