Paint quality looks great! Congrats. Not my favorite color, but it's PERFECT if you live in FL and/or work for orange growers, are a Tennessee Vols fan, or just like that shade of orange. I actually like your shade better than the original Monaco Orange color (which was somewhat darker and more garish, IMO).

It will look great in the sun, I'm sure. Enjoy the new look.

For my taste, I'm not sure there is any 68-72 factory color that works better with the chrome of the bumpers than Monaco Orange. The way the chrome and the Monaco Orange go together is one reason way a Monaco Orange '69 with factory side pipes is very near the top of my list.

Excellent color from a cool era.

Cams69,
It looks awesome! I might be a bit bias. Mine has quiet the patina.
I heard Monaco Orange was the least run color in 1969.

Default Thank!




Thanks everyone. I also think it’s the best color! This car was born polar white with blue vinyl. Turns 50 yo on October of this year.
