Wheatland yellow is certainly a favorite of mine as well but the purpose of this poll is to survey owners for the original color of their K5 not what color they prefer.

Now with an excess of 100 responses it's interesting that five colors account for ~2/3 of the total (ochre, white, med blue, med green, and red). Thanks for your responses.

I'm gonna double the number for Black, Midnight!

Are you claiming this is an original 1972 SPID?

I dont know if its because all the cool black and orange factory colored blazers were favored and trashed years ago, but most 1st Gen K5's I see on the road are Ochre, including mine...

Here is mine, also still in original 1972 paint

Ole Beater · 05-16-2017, 06:41 PM

If I havent already posted, mine was also originally ochre, although more rust and desert tan colored now, its still a vegetable underneath. Or is that okra?

**DeadheadNM** · 10-21-2017, 05:13 PM

Bump...

SuperCtruck · 10-21-2017, 05:57 PM

1971 top 1972 bottom both Ochre

**davischevy** · 01-23-2018, 11:29 PM

I don't know, what color is it? Oh, there it is 525.

**DeadheadNM** · 01-23-2018, 11:33 PM

See the "F" in VIN? In this case it means funky

Color is grapefruit (light) yellow RPO 525.

**davischevy** · 01-23-2018, 11:55 PM

I just though it was interesting that the code was not followed by a name.

**SoCoC10** · 02-14-2018, 02:08 AM

Mariner Blue/ Dark Blue

Green Monster · 02-14-2018, 05:49 AM
