Highly doubt you'll find exact numbers, only estimates. I don't have my "Camaro White Book" here so I can't tell ya if it has anything in it on them.


I don't think GM keep color combo records back then but I could be wrong

There are no known GM documents that list color counts in 1970. Same is true for 1967-69 Camaros. Anything else is just a guess or pure BS.

There were no Hugger Orange Camaros in 1970. Hugger Orange was only offered in 1969 and 1999. The Orange used in 1970 was probably slightly different and called something else so. If you figure out what it was called you might be more likely to find some info.

Hugger Orange was indeed offered in 1970 and called just that. Paint code #65. I know of (and have seen) two original owner cars in HO and they look identical to the 1969 paint code #72. It was again available in 1999-2000 as paint code #99.

GMMG offered it on their 2002 ZL1 cars, but it was NOT a factory color.

The paint code says 67 though but it is the same code as his other HO 70 Camaro which is weird. The paint is peeling in some places on my car and it is HO underneath.

According to the standard catalog of camaro the HO paint code was #65. Paint code #67 is classic copper, which I believe is the original color of my 70.

That's crazy. There is no sign of that color at all on this car, even pulled up the carpet and looked in the odd ball places and only saw HO, even in the bolt holes.
