This must not be a popular color.

Have you looked in the photo gallery section? I know there are several in there. Try posting this in the BS forum, more traffic there. Also use the search feature, thats how I found this one...from this thread

Another one I just saw reading a post in the BS forum

Here's a sample piece of the paint I have and my door hinge's are painted this color. So if you want to come over to the house and see it up close if you like.

that's a '70 not a '71...I know the trim code is the same - 43 - but is the shade the same (Citrus Green vs Lime Green)? I kinda think they are different based upon previous yearly changes and the color samples in the NastyZ/28 archives...maybe someone knows for sure?

Here you are, go to this thread...I'm pretty sure that is the color your after (oxidized to be sure) http://www.nastyz28.com/forum/showthread.php?t=83704

The cars you show are code 43 from 1970.That is citrus green.The 1971 code 43 is more gold and is called lime green. Still looking for a 1971 code 43 Camaro.

Isn't Sal's car the same color? I know it is a '71 and I thought it was code 43 Lime Green

I've always believed the 43 Lime green color was the same shade of green as the Citrus green for 1970 and only different in name to help market the color. For paint code 43, Ditzler (now PPG) had the same paint formula in 1970 and 1971 (Ditzler 2334). But, for some reason Dupont did not (1970: 5126L, 1971: 5322L) and R-M did not (1970: A-2266, 1971: A-2445D). So, who knows for sure?

PS: The picture from ChevyReb looks like a 1971 Rally Sport car to me - highback seats, red nose emblem.

PSS: There are places on my car where the original paint has remained undamaged & unfaded and it looks more lime green (brighter) than both pictures above.

ChevyReb's first photo is of a '70..chrome nose emblem and low back seats, I agree that the second is a '71 - the colors look identical but they both looked resprayed...so who knows what color/brand/painter they used. The sample from Chris77Z28 looks not as bright adn a lot like Sal's '71 in my link...but his car is really oxidized so who knows

[ChevyReb]

Yes the std bumper was a 70, RS was 71...here is a 71 std bumper
