Original Silver Paint

The 1974 GTS silver is available from carpaintonline. Not sure if that is identical to the non-GTS silver.

1974 pantera colors

My experience from when I researched colors for my car is that PPG has formulas for and can mix some Detomaso 1971-74 colors. We had 3 colors mixed and test sprayed back then but not the silver.

Not to add more confusion to the paint code you're seeking, but some reference material (Technical Service Bulletins) I have shows some different codes. If your data plate indicates V613, it references to Silver Poly (sometimes refered to as Silver Metallic) with the following codes:
Ditzler 8926
Acme 3-91031
Sherwin Williams J5-4679
Rogers 8-91031
Martin Senour 99-21491
Glidden (1972) 167E 5
Glidden (1973) 167E 21
I, too, am in the process of rebuilding my '72 Pantera (silver) and am in the early stages of looking at silver.
As further reference, the GTS Silver has the following codes
Ditzler 8951
DuPont 43748

Gents, I just had the very same discussion with my paint shop. The guy I've dealt with for about 15 yrs just told me the original paint code for "silver metalic / "silver poly" is not available in base coat clear coat, only laquer. I may end up looking through his dusty color chip books trying to find a close relative...

Just sharing.... I just found this available through Amazon.

They claim it's color matched to original in the listing... ???

However, I don't see any info that I can use with my paint guy....

Rob, thank you for the information. I had no luck at all with using the many original silver paint codes. I didn't trust the eBay touch-up paint that claimed to be correct, either.

There is now one more red Pantera in the world. Frankly, I got tired of being asked if my silver Pantera was a Delorean. My car is now Rosso Corsa, which I really like.

I feel that red better suits an Italian car, like ours, rather than silver. Silver gives the impression of engineered precision, which is at odds with the emotional appeal of the Pantera. Mercedes and Audi lend themselves more to silver.

Regardless, good luck with your search.

OK....so let's face it...they look pretty hot on red ;-)

So, I took my silver quest to my paint shop. Spent some time flipping through old paint chip books. Found an early 70s Fiat Silver Poly (PPG 33195) which I am running with.
