Maybe it’s the camera or lighting, but the restored car and the sample photo of a car with a vinyl top appear different. The 1970 color I’m referring to resembles the sample photo, and to my eyes looks much lighter/softer than the hue of the restored car (in the photos).
I owned a 70 Olds Rallye 350, one of the fastest cars from a dead stop I ever owned, factory stock.
I do not believe the Daytona Yellow Chev colour is even remotely close. I had a factory L88 Daytona yellow hood on my LT1 and the colours are not close at all...
