Is this Lime Green right???

I can't help but ask you guys what you think of the color of this car:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Oldsm...item43a3f60b24

Beautiful car and I love the color......but looking at paint chips and from what I remember of these cars back in the day I don't think Olds Lime Green was this "green". I really don't ever remember seeing an Olds with such an eye-popping color. So is what I'm seeing what Olds really sprayed on back in 71 or has this color been "augmented" for effect just a bit?

thanks,
bob

Yes, that's the correct 1971-only color.
