What's the original color for your 72?

Mine was originally "Sundance Orange" -- a much darker, kinda burnt orange color.

What's wrong with that color? It's new for '72, which makes it unique because there aren't '71s in that color.

ORBIT ORANGE WAS USED AGAIN IN 1979-80 ON CHEVY Z28'S [SPECIAL ORDER] MY FRIEND HAD ONE BRAND NEW,I'LL FIND THE CODE!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]

Re: 1970 Judge Color breakdown
 

"06" is the code for Orbit Orange on the data plate.
In the books it is "60" for some reason? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]
Can you get a pic of the Z in Orbit Orange? I would be interested in seeing that. I don't remember any special order colors in those years. Would be cool to see.

I found an Orbit Orange '71 on the Net at Ultimate GTO.
Here's the URL:

This gives me a good idea what my '72 would look like, and since the color is so awesome, I think I'm gonna do it.

GTO DON, you are thinking of Bright Yellow color code "11"
Check it out at:

Orbit Orange was never used on any other cars. Only 1970 GTO's. I have talked to a paint rep that supplies paint to us at GM and I had him do a little research on the codes and such. Check out the picture attached of a 1979 Z28 in Bright Yellow.

Other half of picture, sorry.
