Default Hugger Orange 1970 LS6 Numbers?

Rick Nelson (SS427) or any other LS6 experts, does anyone know how many Special Ordered Hugger Orange 1970 LS6 Chevelles are currently out there? I have seen two in person, one at BJ and the other at Chevel-Abration in 2004-05?

Here is one.....

Rick Nelson, give me a call tomorrow.

I think I personally know of about 8 now. Others claim more but this is all I am aware of. The color is Special Order and known as Monaco Orange paint code #926-99616. SlimLS6 is one of those owners and a member here. I will call you shortly Dan.

There was a hugger orange, or what appeared to be one at the spring thaw at a Calgary show last sunday. Maybe somebody here from Calgary can confirm if the car was real. I thought it was a big block SS. But thats all I seen.

They are calling it Carousel red. Thought that was a Poncho color. ??? ( like 69 Judge )

Is the Trim Tag original and if so what's on the Paint code line?.
And regardless of being called Monaco, Hugger, Funk Orange or Pontiac Carousel Red, they're the same color..

Here's one '70 SS factory Hugger car..
Note the tag paint line isn't '- -' or 72/72 but 'SP 4644'..

http://cdnclassics.chevelles.net/fea...eg_miller.html

Real LS6 or SS, if the subject car is an original Hugger car maybe there's a chance it or any Hugger '70 we see is one of the Tulsa Ray Bradley Chev Chevelles in the ad below?.

The text beside the pic of the '70 Coupe says...
'...A train load of SS 396 and SS 454 Malibu Coupes with every drive train available factory painted exclusively for Bradley Chevrolet in three of the sportiest colors - Citrus Green, Camaro Gold and Hugger Orange. Custom painted Sport Stripes on some and they're the wildest you've ever seen...'
