Mike,

We have a 1972 (resprayed orange-red some time ago) and it is definitely

a lime green in the hard-to-get-to-areas such as under the dash, so I would

suggest that lime-green was still an option in 1972.

You mention BRG; there were 2 Panteras in Vegas (one was for sale from

Gary Hall) that were a darker green, more of an "olive green".  Is this the BRG

you are referring to?
