Engine Color

Post by ryan141 »

What is the correct engine paint color for a 68 383. I read on another site that it is supposed to be red, But mine looks orange and I'm pretty sure its never been repainted. Any help would be appreciated.

I've seen two 383s in orange and one in blue. Both in orange were on 68 NP435 W200s and the blue was on a 67 D200 Camper Special with an A727 automatic.
