There is a 75 convertible in the Ocala Fla. area which is bright green with a black top which is really pretty nice and certainly unique. The guy shows the car at local shows and at the Villages. :cool: tom

That does look like the 7-Up color. Your car is beautiful. Mine is a 75 coupe. Is there any chance you could send me a picture by email that I could use as a background.......................dig that color. Need to see for a while.

We just painted our '75 green Vette and it is absolutely gorgeous. You should be able to get the formula from any auto body shop or at least from your Chevy dealer. I can send you a pic of our car, we are still working on it. It is supposed to we 100% done this week. Send your Phone number and I will forward you the picture.

This thread is 9 years old, but who cares.......
I would like to see your 75 Green, so post some pics. My first Vette was a new 75 Coupe in Medium Saddle Metallic, which was also a 1 year color. You either liked it or you didn't!!!! I liked it...
There have been a few threads recently with these colors shown on Verts. They do stand out, that is for sure.......
