[DeTomaso] 1971 yellow paint code

[Jim Hendrickson]

I saw one a couple of years ago at Italian Car Day in Atlanta that
looked great. It was brighter than the other yellow Panteras there. It
had been painted with Glasurit paint. I was surprised that it was not a
basecoat/clearcoat paint. I don't know how true it was to the original
color, but it did look good.

>>>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!

Mike
