If that's a Vista, it looks great with the OAI hood and the 442 grilles.

If it's a '72 (as it appears to be from the headlight bezels and rocket emblem), it's likely code 63 Saddle Bronze. Bittersweet was a '71 only color.

That's the factory color of my 71 442 and I love it. Sadly mine won't be going to paint anytime soon.

I thought you just bought a second Vista, but I see you were having yours redone. Looks great!

For what its worth, the '71 rocket emblem would be open - you'd see the Bittersweet paint through it. The solid emblem with the black background was '72 only, that's why I commented that I thought it was a '72.
