Roy,
That picture 10 years ago made me decide that one day I would try to find an Elkhart Green 72 LT-1. Thanks for the inspiration.

Here's my '72 factory air LT-1 that was painted '71 Brands Hatch Green sometime in the '90s before I bought it.

Although I have since sold it I always loved the green/saddle combination on my '74 coupe.

Ontario Orange goes well with green don't you think?

Did we ever find out if LS-Five (original poster back in 2006) went green in the end?

Default Fathom Green

The picture makes the paint look better than it actually is up close - it has flaws but nothing dramatic. This is the original color but the car's apparently been through at least two paint jobs.

In this case it IS easy being green ! None around this area that I've run across.

For those with the Brands Hatch Green, is that the same as the '76 Blue-Green in the sense that when the sunlight strikes the paint, you can see a bluish colour in the green?

1979 "Corvette Green" with green cloth interior. Depending on the light it looks green, blue, black or any of those in combination. Excepting the carpeting, the interior is original.

MISTERZ06,

Your car keeps popping up in various threads. Please tell us the whole story about your car. I know it's none of my business, but curious minds want to know.

1981

Some papers from the previous owner list this color as Dark Yellow Green. I don't see the yellow, though.
