Thanks. I know all about that one. It's a good deal for someone else.
i'm afraid you have a dream... just some mechanical problems to solve 
otherwise sound car ..... for the right ?? price.

My description wasn't very good, and I've refined it now. What I really am looking for is an early lime green car. Barring that, I would like an early car in need of restoration. But I want to strip and paint it the lime green. Now if I can just find the paint code!
Would HELP to mention a budget!...Mark

Ray, I dunno your goal for this project car.
But its value will be enhanced (return on investment maximized) if the color of the paint you apply agrees with the Marti report. If your goals are to customize the car, then that's a moot point.

Rocketship: Can you have a budget doing a restoration?
JB1490: Thanks. I've tried using that paint chart before. Nobody seems to acknowledge those numbers today. Is V307 a modern day mix? What manufacture?
George: Marti report not important.

No, that is the original paint code (Pittsburgh Paints).

If you go into the project blind & unaware of the work necessary to bring the car up to the "Level" of restoration, as there are a myriad of restoration levels.
As an example, consider the broad spectrum of prices & qualities in a paint job.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay TOO many variables in your limited post information as to accessing "Exactly" what you wanted, as evidenced by your response to the link to the car for sale on eBay...Mark

Also, try a search for pantera and 71-73 modelyear and quite a few colors turn up.

Thanks, first time I've seen that after looking for a long time.
I understand Rocket. I was being facetious, as in restorations always cost more than planned.
Understand "Completely"!!, as I have restored a number of cars. I also understand through the BITTER lesson/s of buying an incomplete car & trying to "Piece it together",as seemingly everybody wants an arm/leg & first born child for part/s.quote:Originally posted by RRS1:quote:Well, Sherwin-Williams still has it on their site:

Thus if I could offer anyone looking at a relatively rare car, 2 bits of advice they would be..."1" Find the most Rust Free, Unhit, Original sheet metal, body/frame.
"2"...COMPLETE CAR!!!...as chasing down/finding, then paying for missing parts adds exponentially to the restoration cost/s.
Thus the reason/s that original/survivor cars garner a premium...Mark

on aside note...appreciate you using the word "facetious", as I truly enjoy the myriad of nuances the english language provides.
Revised description....Looking for a Pre L car as original as possible, average condition.
Are you still looking for a car? Unfortunately I have to part with my blue 72. PM me if you are interested.
YES. PM sent.
