No, I have all the original drivetrain, it was a bone stocker with one repaint when I found the car in the 80's. Been the car I've enjoyed progressively making faster ever since while still maintaining an original theme, without cutting or aggressively modifying anything.
Original color is Carolina Blue and was special ordered. It's been Hugger Orange for decades which isn't the original color either but oddly I can probably count on one hand the number of people that bothered to ask if Orange was the original color, after they looked at the tag and saw no paint code. What's more strange is the amount of people I've had to explain what Carolina Blue is. Even self proclaimed sports fans that are car nuts weren't even aware people were ordering their cars with team colors like this, at least not on this side of the country anyway. I'm sure if I were in the Carolina's people would know right away what it is. Either way I'm finally blowing the car apart for a repaint, it's due, and it's been a real struggle these last few months trying to decide on a color. |

If it were a couple years older and an LS6 or maybe some other solid lifter version of something I'd look at this much differently of course. But people really aren't attracted to the 71-72's as much as the earlier years. I'm never selling the car anyway. When I'm gone my son can have it and it'll be up to him.

That looks fantastic! Does that have any metallic in it?
Edit: Okay I googled it. Can you help me understand the color a bit? It almost looks Hugger Orange to me. Hugger Orange with a twist? I found this video that is supposed to be Flame Orange but can't really tell if it has metallic. https://youtu.be/aGXRUxoBP-s Last edited by x33rs; 12-27-2020 at 10:39 PM. |

Now that is another interesting color I never considered. Looks really nice in that lighting.
