>>>1971 yellow is different from '72 and later.  It's brighter, I think.

No PPG codes are available.  Here's what you have to choose from:

Acme:  3-91033
Ditzler:  81945
Du Pont:  38807L
Martin-Senour:  99-21485
Rinshed Mason:  PT004
Rogers:  8-91033
Sherwin-Williams:  J5-4678

All this information comes from the first few pages of both the De Tomaso 
factory parts book for the US market (highly recommended) and the orange-covered 
Ford parts book (an almost complete waste of paper IMHO).

The factory parts book has a GT5-S on the cover.  It's a very worthwhile 
addition to your library.

Cheers!
