i looked for that color but cant find any

Bill Hirsch, Eastwood, POR, and Fusick have it, among others.

Search in these forums for threads debating which are the most accurate and durable colors.
I'm partial to Hirsch, myself.

At least they didn't put a Chevy engine in it, they only tried to make it look like a Chevy.

What year is your 350? It could have been a dull blue on mid 70's models.

I think 1977 or 78 they went blue when they used other make GM engines in Gm cars.Nick

All depends on the year you want to represent. I like the early Gold color. VHT has a hi-temp gold paint that is just about perfect representation of the original gold. It is hard to find. If you decide to go gold let me know and I"ll get the part number for the VHT for you.

I'm not sure which year they changed from gold, my '73 was gold, my buddies parents '75 was blue, so 1974 or 1975 was the year they changed.

olds 307 and 403

I have used the Duplicolour Universal Gold, looks nice. Pick up Rustoleum Aged Copper paint. Not automotive but higher temp and looks close to the late 60's 400 Bronze, very nice colour.
