SPECIAL ORDER COLOR 70 CHEVELLE QUESTIONS

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: mockingbird812</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Citrus is a rare and, more importantly (IMHO), a desirable paint color on a 70 ChevelleSS. There was a fellow who posted an original paint w restored frame LS6 around here maybe 5 to 6 yrs ago. I believe he got a nice premium for the color when he sold it (I made an offer that was not accepted). Rich, for me this is a no-brainer. I would not even consider a color change. </div></div>

That be.....Giljvich!

That sounds familiar. Really liked that LS6!!

I agree with everybody else here, leave it citrus green.

I think it would be different if you could not say with certainty what the original color was. I, along with the others that have posted like the color and would leave it.

I'm partial to Citrus Green. Is the stripe color called out on the build sheet?

Original color...

I don't believe the color was on the trim tag, it was on the build sheet. The trim tag showed --. To my knowledge, Van Nuys is the only 70 Chevelle plant that put the actual paint code on the trim tag.

does it have anything in box #60 on the build sheet?

Howard,

Oshawa Plant had the paint code on the trim tag as well.

I am posted this on behalf of Dave &quot;Giljvich&quot; Gilsmer.......Prior owner of a CG LS6.



I usually do not respond to issues that no longer involve me, but here goes. Not a day goes by that I do not regret selling my citrus green Ls6. I sleep with a picture of that car next to my bed. I took so much crap for that color from people with all sorts of unprovoked opinions about me or the color of my car. I will tell you there is no chevelle more beautiful in color than my old citrus green with white stripes car. Every one had ideas about where the value on that car would be and most were seriously short on the money. I honored the deal I made with the person who bought the car, but during the transaction I had some one interested, should the deal fall, for significantly more money.

Please leave the color of your car citrus green. Please do not give in to the nonsense I hear on a daily basis about green and people who like green. When citrus green is seen in natural daylight and the sun picks up the gold highlights and the color shifts a little with the sun it is absolutely stunning. Citrus green is a color that grows and grows on you. You will get sick of any other color in a few years. Please don not waste something so unique and precious. Should you want to contact me, Dan Vasic (Postsedan) has my number.


Thanks for letting me speak,
