50th edition in which color?

Looking for opinions...

Go with the 50th anny edition as it comes OR buy a 2SS in the color I like and go with this decal kit (being offered on eBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/152138752060 ) and add 50th wheels, fender badges, etc. to make it look like a 50th?

The interior is a big seller for the 50th. Nice colors with suede accents.
Get the 50th

I hear you... Just so disappointed that they didn't offer anything but a dark color. I want to park it next to this... And would like them to be both blue...

Me and my coworkers literally flipped a coin five times (best two out of three) and the grey won...

If you don't care for the grey buy a different color. Don't make a different car look like the 50th. They are all 50s anyway. Everyone knows what a real one is supposed to look like. Just leave it be.

You can make it look like a 50th, but it still won't be a 50th packaged car. H50 will not be on that build sheet. Get the 50th.

Forget the 50th package.
Build the 6gen the same as your 1st gen.
Your 1st gen wasn't a 1st package so your 6gen doesn't need to be a 50th package.

Just an FYI, the wheels dont have LH and RH side. So half of them "face" forward half "face" backwards. Huge Disappointment for me, I was planning on getting an aftermarket set.

Even if you didn't have a 1st gen. that color, the blue and white car is one of the better looking combos available with the gen6. The 50th package is so bad looking it's kind of shocking they released it.

50th edition in which color?

LOL, you guys are making this decision even harder. Let me add this in... I was born in October 1966, so was my first gen. It's tagged a 10c car on the trim tag (built the 3rd week of October in 66), and it's a numbers matching car...

So.... With that said, whatever I buy, I'm trying to target the order date to get a TPW in the month of October. If I could nail my birthday week I would. Get my "FIFTY" Camaro for my 50th birthday... Built in October, even if I don't get delivery until November... Worth it to me.

I really do like the blue... And your points on building one to look like my original 67 are very valid. Would love to park them next to each other at the car shows, or even drive them both (with the wife) on the 2017 power tour next year...

I agree with you. The 50th package has grown on me, but not having a choice but nightshade is depressing.

I know everyone has their favorites but looking at the entire history of the Camaro's anniversary packages this one does the least for me. It shouldn't have to grow on you. It should make you drive to the dealer and ask them to take your money.

HBM in person has no equal. Pics on the net look ok to compare with but it's like looking at a peacock, you can't understand until it's in front of you how good it actually looks.

Having twins would be a level of cool that not many guys can claim.

These dealer lot pics are a good example. The blue and grey both look pretty good here. In person though I took about 20 pics. This is the only one that had grey in it. It was just too dull to the eye.

I'm going through the color choice too right now. RH, HBM, and SW are topping my list. My other car isn't as cool as yours though.
