1. The Egyptian's Desert Gold

Deservedly named Camel, this golden beauty looks like it exhumed itself from the desert sands. This will certainly make you feel like an Egyptian god on the streets, and this Camaro will be worshiped by all. Check out the Camel interior and exterior, along with more info, here

2. Jumping Into Red Mud

The light shining on this Z/28 makes this Carmine Camaro look like flowing red mud. This seems to be a perfect color for the more earthbound spirit and it doesn't lose its appeal over the years. This particular Camaro has been well kept over the 35 years of ownership and a low mile to boot. For more on the story, click here

3. Do You Have the Blues?

You just can't go wrong with blue, whether it is the Light, Bright or Dark Blue. This Dark Blue Camaro has a nice light blue interior with light blue stripes on the exterior. This is the embodiment of both the sky and the ocean. Who wouldn't want to feel that relaxing nature while stuck in hectic traffic? Unfortunately, this has been sold, but you could still look at the images here

4. In the Heart of the 70s

The Dark Brown with beige stripes just screams the 70s (early 80s), doesn't it? If you want a classic car and an exterior to prove it, this is the best color for the 1979 Camaro. It even has a tan interior, so everything about it has a retro feel. This used Camaro, with 74,000 miles, went for $2,000. This is also no longer on the market, but you can view the different angles here

5. Marching Its Way Into the Military

Ready to hit the streets in its soldier outfit is this Medium Green Camaro. There isn't a tougher color for this classic muscle car. The Light Green can't even compare to the ruggedness this green makes this car look. It is a little hard to tell from the picture but it does seem like the interior is also green, which was also an option for the '79. There seems to be an earthy, nature pattern going on with that year's Z/28.

6. Busting Through the Sunshine

It might be me imprinting nature into these 1979 Camaros, but what else do you think of when looking at this Bright Yellow Z/28 but the sun? If you want a bold, happy color than you go with yellow. Next to the common colors such as red, black and white, yellow is considered by many for their Camaro, especially with Bumblebee rocking it in Transformers.
