It was not original paint....however correct it was taken of the frame....frame and suspension restored. Done by a very good restorer in Central IL. Dan

Not buying the color theory at all. I guess Gobi Beige was good enough for the LS6, but Nugget Gold was not? If color was so important, they should have made Monaco Orange an RPO.
There's gotta be a simpler, more logical explanation. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/scholar.gif[/img] |

Was it plant related? Were the special colors available only at plants that for some reason did not build LS6 cars? Did every plant build LS6 cars? I can see them not having the special paint at every manufacturing facility.

No it wasn't plant related.
Only 1 of the 7 Chevelle assembly plants,(Oshawa),didn't assemble the LS-6.The other 6 did & most likely had access to the color code #43 CG. The Millers Citrus Green LS-6 is a special order paint car,and does not show code #43 on the it's trim tag. Also,if you flip that color chart page over,it shows available interior colors for those exterior colors.Green is not one of those recommended colors...The Millers CG LS-6 has a green int. |

Couldn't one ask the same question about the other restrictions? (convertibles, wagons and El Camino)?

We have all seen Citrus Green 1970 Z28s and Caramel Bronze is/was a (rare) 1970 Corvette color; doesn't get more high-perf than those two cars - so the exclusion because of a "high-performance model" does not hold water. ![]() |
