Harvest Gold, Coppertone, and Avocado Green were the popular appliance colors back then so earth tones were definitely in fashion.
Very true. Fathom Green was called fatigue green. And after seeing mostly everything green, it truly was the last thing you wanted to see.

Yup - ordered my 69' W-30 442 while I was at Phan Rang, RVN. Black with white guts and gold stripes. Picked her up in Green Bay Feb 69'.

I know where there is a nice survivor 71 that I am pretty sure is a big block. Blue factory paint, I dont remember if it had ac. Automatic. What kind of price ranges are these worth for a mint one?

Unfortunately, from what I can tell they still do not bring the big coin. You'll see some priced high, but I don't think they are selling that high regularly.

Even this deal, which seems like a good deal, would probably be a losing proposition to restore (if you restored it for selling).

IF I could go see this in person (meaning within 3 hr drive) I would probably own this. Do a make over but not resto on it and use this as a nice driver for my wife.
