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.

Is there a custom pallete ..?

If it was "Rally Red " it should just have had that code .,?

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".
