Was It a Rare Color In '70?

I would say of the special paint cars in 1970, Monaco Orange has to be about the most popular ordered color. There were a few of the Carolina Blue ones as well.

my car...kind of. Doubt it is a -- paint code car.

Price seems pretty fair too.:cool:

Nowhere that I see does it say that was the original color. I'd bet it wasn't.

I e-mailed the guy to see what it really is.

This is the response I got:


yes real ss. no original color lemans blue. motor non matching . 454 -425 H.P. year of motor 1972.

I bet it wasn't Lemans Blue either, another '69 color.

Don't forget LeMans Blue Dave, here's a 70" with that 69" color!:thumbsup:

Can't forget your beautiful Special Order L78, Mike....too pretty!

BUT, I believe I had said the Hugger Orange was the most popular ZP3 color that got ordered. My friend in Joliet called me all excited last week, he just bought a ZP3 '70 L78 car, he's not sure of the original color, he thinks it is some Cadillac Brown color. It can't be a Firemist color, but it could be similar....:thumbsup:

The car in question was probably code 25 Astro Blue.

That would be my bet, although possible to be special order Lemans Blue. Odds aren't too great though.

Looks like a nice,fun street car for the money if you aren't too concerned about factory stock appearing.
I'd be interested in the cowl tag decode
