Default Interesting color combination

Car looks extra nice for a 1984 but the color combination doesn't do anything for me.

Sort of reminds me of the body style change of the Trans Ams in 1982.
There was a color scheme very popular (like a RED corvette) similar to that picture.

Looks OK except for the HALO trim paint.

There once was a time when that was a really cool color combo. I don't know what time that was but I'm sure there once was a time.

That's not an '84. Wasn't available until '86 I think.
I personally don't like anything about it except for the straight body.

All the Major Corvette Parts suppliers offer the 3rd light kits for 84-85s.

And seeing that isn't the original paint, I'm sure the light isn't either.

You are referring to the 1984 Z28 Camaro.

Dealer claims it is an 84. See their site. Looks like a crossfire intake too.
