[nohuri]

Here's my 77 with original paint but soon to be painted.

If you look close, mine's two shades of beige and one shade of rust one shade of red dust with some flat black rattlecan thrown in for good measure.
Judging from the old layers of paint underneath the fuel door latch, it was originally mustard yellow.

Nice looking 40.....Lightfighter

Crotal :: Is this an OEM color on the '64? Seems too light for Colorado Beige and more creamy that most of the white cruisers that I see. Looks great. RG

+1 on wanting to know. I had to look twice at that pic - thought I was looking at a plastic model for a sec there.

its def not year correct

i wanted to have it color code for dune beige ,,, but, the paint shop took some liberties with the paint,,, i think the mix has more white and less black

also, it is a two stage,,, not single stage enamel like in those years


thanks RG

My Daily driver 1970. It's possible that this rig is Colorado Beige since the factory beige is showing in a few places on the inside and it's a very light beige, almost white. I believe the outside has been resprayed, but it's difficult to tell.

Gobo, how did you take that sweet pic?

I was just standing on the roof of another truck on top of a rock. That and some mad Photoshop-fu

having a tilt - shift lens on your camera is sooo cool, the world changes to miniature scale all of a sudden, but great photoshop can give you the same feeling in the pics, works twice as good if you have a big scale toy as subject, just like we do..
