Here is the paint sheet released in the spring of 1970, Notice how it mentions the 454 LS6 could not get Citrus Green.
Rules back then were made to be broken.

That's mighty close for these two 06E built LS6s (-59769 vs. -60009)! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/shocked.gif[/img] Being that close, it is possible the CG LS6 left the assembly line the 1st week of July (as did the Bunn LS6). NICB would confirm.

I generally am not a fan of green on musclecars but i love that color! Pontiac called it Key Lime and it is the only green I'd ever consider for a car of that vintage. Keep it Citris Green!

----Beautiful cars pictured. I would definetly paint mine Citrus Green if I had one. I remember a Citrus Green Malibu near me in Florida in 1970 and the color didnt look nearly as good. Is it possible that this color in 2-stage is much more alluring than the original lacquer???
----Id also love to see a Carmel Bronze SS. That color looks very cool! Anybody seen one???.....Bill S

I talked with my friend earlier and he corroborated that this is the same car from the 2005 thread that Rick posted... The car is citrus green, stripe delete, non cowl hood, bucket seat, gauge car, 396/350HP, turbo 400...

I think you guys convinced him to do the citrus green after all the overwhelming responses!! I told him the citrus green stripe delete makes it all that more unique!!

Thanks again SYC!!!!

Sam,

Here is your answer from, Dave Gilsmer.

My old car had three build sheets; one from on top of the tank, one from under the back seat and one discovered by our friend Kevin while working for the Hot Rod Haus on the inside of the drivers door panel being an Atlanta car. The car also had the original purchase invoice from the dealer. I sure miss the car.

Dave.
