Does anyone have a picture of a engine painted the correct color for a 1970 Toronado

Re: engine color
Somehow I pictured it as being a lighter color? how does it compare to the 66-69 color and were any of the early production painted the 69 color?

Re: engine color

Where is the best place to buy the correct paint. I know i have seen it on Fusick's web site just wondering if someone used theirs or from some where else

Re: engine color
all 455's used the same 'Corporate' blue color beginning in '70' through late 70's ish, and gold 350's.
The color shown above on 70 GT seems a bit 'intense'. If memory serves it was a bit softer not everybody gets there colors correct. Unfortunately i don't have a photo example

Re: engine color
Thanks Bill I noticed many web sites that sell the paint list it as 1966 and on, Fusick list 1966-69 and then 1970 and newer a different color so looks like I will order it there.

Re: engine color
Okay finally i got it this is what the 70 thru 76 455 should look like, as it can be seen the color is not nearly as intense as is some of what we are seeing offer as the correct color.
In the interest of fairness y e s there has been some aging here take it as it is, and always 'we report you decide!'
