I dont know the correct name for the color only, but when I get under the dash

of my 1972 (#2507, May build date?), I see GREEN.  My car is a bare-metal

respray with red-orange, but I can still see the Lime Green in hard-to-see

places.  Ergo, it was still ofeed in 1972.

I've often thought that if I had the $$, I'd restore it to its original

color.  The license plate on our Green Honda Accord reads "GRN FLSH", so it

would look good on the Pantera as well.  Besides, if ever they run the "Glitter

de Gulch" at Vegas again, I could pick up extra points for the Green.

on Saturday just flew overhead; it would take 100 Panteras to match that sound!
