The Supercar Registry - You Can't Make This Stuff Up!

I have seen multiple photos of Project X when it was first purchased by PHR in 1965; all black and white.

Obviously two tone with a white top.

Does anyone know for certain what color the bottom was? Guessing one of the lighter colors.

Pic attachment didn't work very well.

It would probably look something like this, though this is Canyon Coral. Salmon Pink has more of an orange hue to it:

Looking at the 57 Color Chart, I don't see a listing for salmon pink.

Special Order paint?

It was a 1955 color. The car was probably repainted prior to PHR getting it. 8 year old car with 70,000 miles on it. The original article really doesn't go into the history of the car when they bought it. More on the drive train: 283 4 BBL with a 4 speed.

On second thought, the 2 pics aren't the same and everything I've found indicates these planes had a full length fuselage. This pic must be a chop job, as I find no other pic of a Mitchell with fuselages trailing the engines.

No such plane ever existed. This is a CAF B25 photoshopped.

Makes me sick. I realize it could easily be swapped back but holy hell, if there was ever a time where "it's the principle of it" applies, Project X(crement, now, and I can't take credit for this) is it.

I’ve never seen this style full wheel cover on a ‘66 SS 396.
Is this correct?

Also what years could you get the wheels painted body color?

Thank you for the education.

The wheel covers are from the 1965 Impala SS
