Default Fire mist orange????

The Black Book doesn't list Fire Mist Orange as a standard color. Was it available as a factory color in 1972? Thx, Bob

From what I remember, the Firemist Colors, referred to metalic colors. I dont beleive, Ontario Orange was a Firemist Color. I know that Targa Blue was as Firemist Color.

Hi Z,
Perhaps this color?
Pretty nice color on a pretty SPECIAL 71 car!
Ontario Orange was one of the 'Fire Mist' colors first offered for the 71 model year.
Regards,
Alan
