Hello Everyone. I'm as you all can say NEWBIE here. I became a Very Proud owner of a 69 Camaro Hardtop on the 26th of April. I'm slowing trying to build her back to her glory self. I have been noticing different thing with this car that I've never came across before. For one thing the car was painted black over the Orinal paint. Made me mad til I found out what color it is plus the car has Blue interior. The Paint is which I still can't believe is Cortez Silver Code #69/69. The interior code number is 715. Of all the '69 Camaro's that I have seen that was Cortez Silver HAD Black Interior. Can ANYBODY Tell me How RARE is these two Combo's together. Plus the Guy that I bought the car from bought it from a guy who Drag Raced it so it has Big Block front coil springs. I'm going to pull out the 350 (since its a Truck 350 out of a 1970 Chevy truck and sorry engine going to lil sis since she called it once I got the car). I'm in the middle of tearing down a BBC 454 to turn into a 427 since I want to play and show (to me) a rare paint/interior combo '69 Camaro. I'm slowly getting the parts due to funds for me to get them. But I'm hoping to have more pictures of the car as I build and put her back together in the near future. Thanks for any info Anyone has about these paint / interior combo's. Signed a 16yr long dream from a 16yr old to now (32)dream to own one. Will Chezem

Welcome to one of the best Camaro forums around! I don't think 69/69 with a 715 interior is all that rare. Not super common, but not rare, either. Can you post a picture of the trim tag? If the car has BB springs in it, maybe, just maybe GM put them in there and it is an original BB car. There are clues to look for. We can help you with that here.
