Default Re: Hugger Orange 1970 LS6 Numbers?

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...'

This came up before, and I posted this one before I think. I sold this to a family from the Chicago suburbs back in the late 90's or early 2000's. I don't know where it is now, but it would be easily identifiable. There was a lot of documentation, receipts, resto info, and owner history.

Dan, to date I haven't found any info for you on the other matter. Still looking.
