Anyone have any pictures of a 71 or 72 with the burnt orange? If I don't have to sell my car, I'm thinking of painting it the original color, which is the burnt orange. I'm particularly interested in what this color looks like in SS trim.

I have a '72 with burnt orange and it is the orginal paint. I tried to post a picture here but could not. I will try to email you a picture.

Randy,
I am pretty sure that the 71 and 72 colors are different. 72 was called Flame Orange and was more orange than the 71 color, which leaned more to brown. Here is a pic of my 71 back in 1973. I am having a hard time getting paint mixed up to match it right now. Looks like I might have to go with a single stage paint rather than bccc.
Kool, you have to have the picture on the web somewhere to have a link to it here.

Randy,
Here is a pic of Chuck Greasons 72 Heavy Chevy for comparison: Close but not quite the same.
