i'm with mike & jim. sherwood green with a black roof, only white buckets for me. hey mike is that a vinyl top ? henry white 70 GS 350 diplomat blue 70 GS 455 fire red / black vinyl top 70 STAGE 1 sherwood green / black painted roof, white buckets
I will have to agree with Jim and Mike My 69 GS is Sherwood Green, Black vinyl top, Black interior. :beer
Re: Curtain #455?!!! I like that backdrop for that GSX clone.First thing I thought was is that one of Bob Barkers cars? I'll take curtain number 455!!! Yes, I like the green too ($?):grin: For me it is Lime Mist with "white" rear tires! heh heh
I'll second two of the above choices: Ford's Sherwood Green, used since about 1956, is a great deep metallic green color. Buick's is not quite as striking (IMHO) as Ford's color. Buick's Seamist Green, used since the 60's, just grows on you show after show as a really attractive medium shade. Don't see how anyone could not like either of these.
I am with you about Seamist Harry. Did you see I posted a 70 GS455 Seamist for sale by a friend for only 5k. Seeing a real Seamist car from the factory is a rare event don't you agree? Jim Lore
Jim, Yes, I saw that posting. Sounds like a great buy for somebody with fewer hobbies than I currently have.
I am purchasing a '70 Skylark with original Seamist paint, black vinyl top, and black interior. Still not sold on the seamist color. I mean, it's ok but I haven't decided if I will keep it that color unless someone convinces me otherwise. Is it a rare color? Or just a rare color on a GS? -Chris
Just as an observation, without researching any archival data, I would think that Seamist Green was a popular color, as I have seen it on many cars at various shows.
Green Wildcat I like green! My Wildcat Convertible is Sea Foam green, Black top, Black interior. Its a A-8 Super Wildcat convertible, has options from Cruise to Vacuum locks. Its getting a new paint job and they keep asking if I want to paint it black. I have to stay original and original is green.
Earth Tones Good afternoon: Glad there are many Green fans as most anything made in the 60's and 70's are earth tones. Green, Gold or Brown. This includes houses, kitchens, cars etc. It seems when I call on a car, it is almost always Green, Gold or Brown. Especially Buick's and Oldsmobiles. My Camaro is Ash Gold (Greenish Gold) on Ivy Gold (Greenish Gold) interior. Happy New Year JA
Any green is less than a favorite with me-so what do I find over the years? yup-rustfree Cal '66 and 7 Wildcats-both built at Southgate-both Seafoam-I'm with Ted-can't make myself go other than original color either-Dan
One of my favorite cars I used to have was a forest green SS454 4 speed that i had to sell about 15 years ago. The only thing bad was that the interior was dark green also. It had the black stripes and the LS5 engine. My ex-wife made me sell it because she couldn't stand me having to spend a dime on it. Got rid of her also! Brian :Brow:
green is cool It's not easy being green, but I would not trade for any other color.This is forrest green in base coat clear PPG.Only took 10yrs to get painted, it was worth the wait.
Green is Great ! I like all the factory greens. I've been a fan of green cars since I was a kid. My 71 Stage 1 is verdemist green (dark metallic green like sherwood) with a dark green vinyl top and a saddle tan interior. I think it looks great. It will just never be worth as much as a fire red GS.
dark green I like the dark green with white interior,70-72,on the sleeper green 72 from Ohio,there is aguy here in n.e ohio who is selling a 72 350 skylark all original w/17,000 miles on it for around 5,000,needs some work but would make a killer sleeper like the green one on this post. Moz:grin: :grin:
Never my first choice, always seemed to find blue cars (have 3). Always liked the darker greens. The 69 Verde Green is nice though. Mark
I like it! GS Dave That's a tough looking ride.......what's it run? Do you have more pictures? Tell us some details...... One of these days I'd like to build a car w/ the poverty caps,their cool.
