i don't know alot when it comes to stock colours etc, but that doesn't look like a real common colour combo?

Hi gazrat,

I know of one other in that colour combo in NSW...owned by Russell Cooper. Pic below was taken at this years Nationals at Forbes - not the greatest pic. The flash in the pic looks white but is pink. I think the body colour is desert plum?

Hmm on second thoughts - comparing the colours they don't look the same at all...do you have the colour code ID No on the firewall?

regards
Stewart

I think we have room for that car in sunny Qld if you get sick of it let me know I dig that crazy colour combo. Missed out on a wagon a week ago reverse colurs the guy who owns it wants to turn it into a bash car. This car has been in his family since new. The situtation not completely over oh well back to driving my 59 chev..... 8) 8)
