----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

Thanks for the comments guys!!! I will pass this along to him!! Rick, I think that this N.C. car may be his... I'll have to research it more with him....

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!!!!

I think this is pretty neat - had no idea there were some midyear colors available!

But why would they restrict the color by engine?

So was this Citrus Green availible with the LS6? It says not availible with LS6 on those color charts. Just wondering.

It was not but if you knew how to ask the right people back then, it did in fact make it's way onto some LS6 cars.

For Pontiacs, it was an $88.14 option (W51 SOLID SPECIAL PAINT) to get a special order color. I imagine there was a similar charger on the Chevies as well. Your dealer just had to be aware of the availability of the option.

Back then if you wanted a non-available color, from an unknowledgable dealer it was the typical dealer response of: &quot;If I don't know, the answer is no&quot;
