    The trim tag should have a Y-Y-Y paint code, from what I recall.

    Looks like it compliments the paint on the boat that is also listed in the sale.

    1972Mach1 Just some M.M.O.G. guy.....

    I love seeing vintage 50s-70s custom paint jobs! Be interesting to see it out in the sun, and if it's got any gloss to it. That's a pretty harsh fade from blue to white. Dig the flares!

    I believe you do Jim. Notice the 1970 front end and the 1972 N25 rear bumper too.

    Just as Brad pointed out....a 72 bumper without impact strip holes? looks like the one Todd had last year. I know, there looks like someone did lots of customizing and may have filled the holes. but a 72 N25 with no impact strips, shows up again. pretty rare bumper.

    I'll see if I can get underneath with a wrench; something like that should be easy to walk out with.

    Daves69 Too many cars too work on

    There was another GS with custom paint in the Pittsburgh area. This car had similar paint and was a 1972 Stage 1 with a 4 speed. Someone chopped the top and did the custom paint. I remember it from the World of Wheels show early eighties.

    I agree, it should be cleaned up and left in its 70’s-80’s street machine/show car motif.
