I am not sure what one I like better. The Aegean Aqua or the Reef Turquoise. I would like to find a car of each color sitting side by side.

They did make 3 color cars but it is about as rare as a stripe delete

A friend had a 1972 442 W-30 4 color car.


Burnt Orange paint
Saddle interior
Cream accent roof paint (two-tone)
White stripes


I had an opportunity to purchase the car last spring & passed. I just could not make myself like the color combo despite the decent restoration, numbers matching & rebuilt driveline.
