Thanks Dan. Neat car to be sure!

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;

WOW! What a killer color on a 70 Chevelle SS! Ihave never seen one until now and never even knew it exist. This was always my favorite color on a 70 Z28.

For any of you guys who used to read Car Craft Magazine in the early 2000s, the &quot;Cheap Street Chevelle&quot; project was a special paint Citrus Green car as well. You could still see some of the factory paint in the cowl area. Until now I had never seen another!
