F/S Lee Pearl's 1970 442 W-30 Convertible 4 speed

----I am getting really confused here. Not all that unusual, I agree, but exactly what color is this red/orange W30??? It appears red and is advertised by B/J as Rally Red, and yet appears almost hugger orange in the as found pics as well as some of the resto pics. Straighten me out,,,please!.....Bill S

Rally Red is 69 carousel red or hugger orange. The tag should have 2 dashes on it for the paint code.

----I understand what your saying, Don, but the car still looks like they painted it red when they restored it. Was someones camera that far off???

----Oh, Sort of forgot,Don,,,what did you ever do with those trailing arms? I could still use them......Bill S

This may come as a surprise (it did for me) but Rally Red is a different color than Code 72 Carousel Red/Hugger Orange/Monaco Orange.

BTW, my '70 442 (03D build date) has the paint code "73" for rally red stamped on the trim plate.
