I can't see where he has any stake in this, so why would we have any reason not to believe him?

I can say FOR SURE that original paint 1965 EO lacquer seems to be a much lighter, more silvery hue than what you get today spraying PPG base/clear. We had my Dad's urethane base/clear EO Nova near an original paint EO car at one point, and the original paint car looked silver by comparison. Much lighter, and less purple.

At no time has anyone been accused of lying. As stated I do not question the car was ordered in EO. He has every reason to believe it was EO. Unlike yourself and many of the others I actually saw the original paint on this car. I have ample reason to believe it wasn't.

All this talk of bc/cc variation is bs. Were that true every car restored in bc/cc wouldn't look original.

Since I actually saw the OE paint nothing I have read here will convince me that car was EO. Feel free to continue convincing yourselves it was.
