After much deliberation - here is what the final decision on the colors will be: Sebring Silver metallic with an Arrival Blue metallic stripe. The interior will be blue. The car number will probably not be 67 though... I need to figure out a good number for it.

What do you think?

I like your choice of colors......but if it were me I would avoid the number and the decals altogether. Did you photoshop white or black stripes too? I think either of those colors for the stripes would look nice too.

Thanks for the compliments. [Cool]

I do miss the Camaro. My last two Camaros were silver... I guess I just have silver in my blood. I can't get away from it.

The decals are definately going on the car! Grand Sports really should look like race cars. [Big Grin]

Thanks. That's coming straight from the top of the SSOA chain! I guess this means the Corvette is welcome at all the Camaro shows? [Wink]

Most definatly!! [Smile] Its all the same. Heck, we even let those Pontiac guys hang around [Wink]
Besides, the members of our local Vette club let us hang around even though we dont have a vette (yet), so I figure we could return the favor [Smile]

How about 63?

(It helps identify the year for those people who don't know what a split window is.)

Very nice color combo! One suggestion...did you look at the new Liquid Silver Metallic color? Very similar, but for some reason I like the new one better.

Look's pretty awesome! The colors deinitely go well together. I agree on the number "63" as the year.

My dad bought a 63 back in the day. Unfortunately it wasnt in the best condition as it was used for drag racing. Not a show car, but would love to have a 63 Stingray again. Someday when I'm making the big bucks I'll buy one for my dad [Smile]

What do you think of Meduim Spiral Gray Metallic from the C5 lineup? It's darker than Sebring Silver, but looks really nice. A Blue out of the Corvette pallette would look good with that, too.

That was one color I considered but decided it was too dark.

Nod.  -

I think Spiral Gray would make a nice stripe color on a white or yellow car.
