Special order colors were often designated with a dash. Back then the factory would make the car just about any color you wanted by just jumping through the right hoops. I have come across quite a few of these cars. Not particularly rare or unusual.

There are pics of some repair work my brother and I did. The album "nomad" is a "Museum" a desert rat put together. Last edited by mugzilla; July 28th, 2008 at 10:24 PM.. |

That's actually Rally Red. One of the four special order colors for 1970. The body tag will either have a "--" for the paint code or a "73".
