Most likely a Hugger Orange car. The 50 cars delivered to Gibb were either Cortez Silver, Fathom Green, Dusk Blue, Hugger Orange or LeMans Blue. The only other colors were Daytona Yellow, Dover White and Garnet Red, but none of those went to Gibb.

Jim,
I was 22 years old at the time. I don't remember a lot of things back then. I do remember looking under the hood and seeing the ZL-1 motor. You never forget that.

color who cares about the stinking color... all I saw was the important stuff.

Funny story about what we notice...
Wife and I came home from being over with 3 other couples and wife says something about a dress one of the other women had on... I had no clue, she said I didn't pay attention to anything around me and that the women had talked about it etc...
I then proceeded to ask her about what she thought about the new Paxton on one of the guys Mustang Cobra, to which she replied what are you talking about no one ever said anything about a car, even when I reminded her that she stood there as it was pointed out to her she had no recollection. Blinders... Blinders
