Rarest Paint Color?

[original_balzer]

I had a 72 blazer that was "dark olive metalic" A few years after I got rid of that a friend got a 70 blazer that listed its paint as "dark olive metalic" both had the original paint but the 70 was more of a pine green(dark) and my 72 was more like grass green(medium)
Also his metalic seamed to be a silver my metalic seamed to be a gold. (maybe that was the differnce?)

Doubt its a rare color but always thought that was weird they listed the same but where totaly differnt colors.

Having the same "name" really means nothing, they were different years. That is very possible, if not common. What about the actual paint code?

[Musclerodz]

I don't think copper was very common. Only one I have seen is the GMC cab we cut up to fix the truck we are restoring.

I would think that some of them have gotten into public hands over the years?

I think that would have been "special paint".Fleet colors were available to any fleet account (about 5 colors that don`t change from year to year) and special was per order by request.Probably "special price",too.

I know at one time you could order a commercial vehicle with no paint code at all that came in primer for you to paint to suit.A friend has a`60 Sedan Delivery that came primered from factory.He can redo it any color and it will be correct as long as it is era correct.

[special-K]

Uncle done a good job on that one.I wanted that thing soooooooo baaaaaad!when Eric was selling it.That`s original paint!Definately up there with rarest paint combo.I`ve never seen another.And,it`s not wierd!

[special-K]

I just found this not so rare Grapefruit colored truck I had stored and just feel I need to confess my love of it to the entire world!!!!



You don`t see to many Wheatland Yellers.I`d put it in the not so common category.Less common than grapefruit:

<That`s a real truck,not a Hot Wheels

Here's a yellow truck that maybe is a little rare with the olive roof.
I found the pics going through my archive, I probably saved them from this forum at sometime.

I also found this document that lists some maybe rare colors.

I had the same thought, if that ever happend I guess that would be a strong candidate for Rarest Paint Color.

I posted this list a whie back. It was in my truck when I bought it and I'm wondering if anyone has ever seen the Mauve color. I've been looking at these trucks since they were new ( I was 18 in 1967) and have never seen a Mauve one.

[SOON2BLAZE]

Any one know what Oh! Green looks like? Never have seen a dark gold poly before, me likey

[heavy71chevy]

Id like to see that oh! green it could be that lime canadian color

[67_C-30]

I wonder if the Oh! Green is the lime green above?

[67_C-30]

Old thread, but worth a second look.

Has anyone seen a '67 that came silver poly? I'm wondering if that '67 SWB stepper that is on ebay is the original color. I'm wondering if this GMC is that color.

[67_C-30]

Ah ha! After a second look, it is the original color! Check out the 523 paint code. That's the first documented silver poly truck I've seen.

[tcb-1]

I'm with you James. I don't think I've seen but maybe one other silver poly 67.

however, not long ago, there was a thread with a pic of a 67 fleetside swb that had red interior. man, it was absolutely beautiful.....

[70cst]

Here is mine. Factory Dark Olive with Med Olive on top. Not rare but unusual.

Here's a silver poly '67 with white top....and its a one-owner.

Half the people think my '72 is a light green, the others say yellow. I don't see the green, myself, but I might be slightly colorblind. The gold roof is the bomb.

At the SPI board, someone cleared over buff-primer. It actually came out nice...

Does your truck have a gold roof?? Is it factory? Would love to see a pic of the glove box sticker? I have seen lots of colors, but never lt yellow and gold!!! Very interesting!! BTW, I really like the LT yellow color!
