It is BLACK on a Mille Miglia Red (Like my original 1975 Convertible) White was used on the Dark Red (code 74)

Hi Red,

My original dark red (code 74) had the white label. A note in the NCRS judging guide states that "The white lettered label was used on the red body color in 1975." I thought it was interesting to note they did not mention any specific color, but did mention red, which I may be making the incorrect assumption that it pertains to both dark red (code 74) and Mille miglia red (code 76).

Is it original paint? Do you have a picture?

Yes, correct mille miglia red.

The car is all original with the exception of the front and rear soft bumpers which, as they will do over time, disintegrate. Everything in between is original. I purchased the car 3 years ago with 37,897 miles on the clock. The car has documentation back to the original owner. I am the 4th owner of the car. Although anecdotal, a friend of mine has a dark red 1975 that has a white sticker, and another friend of mine has a 1976 Mahogany that also has a white sticker. Of course this doesn't mean that black or white stickers haven't appeared on the various cars as they trundled down the assembly line. This is the best photo I have at present as the '75 is on top of my car lift, I will take a close up photo sometime and post it.
