In 1970 I bought a new Forest Green Nova SS 350. The lighter color greens on GM models seemed to be rare and really didn't do anything for me. A few years back I noticed a 71 or 72 Chevelle at car shows that was a light green and it just caught my eye. This past summer I was looking to get back into another old car and came across a Cottonwood Green 71 Malibu that I felt would make a nice cruiser show car. It didn't do it for me by the way it was set-up but I felt I could turn it into something nice and have a rare color instead of a red, blue or black car. I feel I'm on the right track just by changing the look of the car with a set of wheels and plan on cleaning and detailing the car out even more to have a nice rare color car at the shows and cruises this summer. https://www.chevelles.com/forums/atta...4&d=1347846101

Hank, that's a beautiful color, very nice. Unusual and pretty classy, my compliments.

Oh, certainly don't keep an unusual or unique color like Citrus Green! nope, you should paint it...

RED

Or BLUE...

Or BLACK.

Yep, resale red. Just like everybody else is doing. :-/

After all, you wouldn't want your car to stand out and draw any attention, now would you?

Well you know the saying opinions are like @ssholes... everyone's got one!
My numbers matching '67 was originally a Mountain Green car (don't see many of them) but it was tuxedo black when I purchased it in 2000. If I had kept the car... it would now be long overdue for a repaint (last done in '85) and would have put it back to the original color... cause it's different and that's what it was born with!
Just my $.02

in 1985 i bought a 1970 chevelle that color for $300. it had a 1972 front end on it. i clonned it to a SS and put a built up sb 400, a 1970 front end and painted it forest green with white stripes. it was stolen in two weeks. had i kept it that light green color it probably would not got stolen.

Chuck, I remember you not liking that Mountain Green, but sometimes on the right car it can really showcase a colour.

Here's a '67 Chevelle SS396 in Mountain Green on e-Bay right now: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Chevrolet-Che...ht_39695wt_917 . They are saying it is an L-78 but I see no casting numbers. Surprisingly, it actually looks very nice in that colour. By the late '60s through the 1970s greens really had their day.

My Arlngton built 70 SS clone is factory 43 Baby Vomit Green. And you bet your sweet you know what that Cranberry red is coming off to go back to the puke. I am truly of the thought that with a nice base coat and cut and buffed clear, it will look incredible.
