Hi SAINTY.
The paint colour 15351 is Willow & the drivetrain was originally a 202 6 cyl with a standard Aussie 4-speed manual box.

in 1971 there were 21 different colours, in 1972 there were 35 colours, in the SS there were 3 different colours, in 1973 there were 18 and in 1974, 17 colours were used. Just paint it Orchid metalic with black stripes .... looks awesome!! think about it.

Some would disagree. My mate has one of the 150 1973 bathurst XU-1s. It was orchid originally. He couldn't suffer the colour, so painted it lone oranger, knowing it affected the originality. The cars has been restored to concours condition otherwise.
