Love it. Makes me want to go to Key West, FL for the winter blues.
|
Not my favorite, but I also never see that color. It could grow on me! I couldnt reist asking...did the Foosenator ruin that car to the left of the GTO?
|
So are you saying you don't like it??
|
It is a very nice '60's' color but it's also a very hard color to get true to factory. The true factory reef turquoise rides a knife's edge between the blue and green mix. A trip to Napa and Martin Senour is usually disappointing - it stayed into the green flash too much. A head snapping color in it's correct balance IMO
|
Parchment interior would make it BETTER. "Bill"!
|
Agreed Bill. Not sure if it's the picture quality or my computer but that strays way too much toward green
|
Kind of on the fence here.
Sort of reminds me of the seafoam green that was so popular in the '60s for bathroom walls. |
It would have been the perfect car for the Ventures and their surf music. Just make sure it has the reverb option.
|
I'm partial to Teal Turquoise and Parchment. I guess Reef makes a good second choice.
|
Very period correct - love it, especially with wheelcovers and white walls.
|
Don't like, but there are one or two other original greens in 65 that are great.
|
IT'S OK
My '66 painted factory correct Code K in 1995 along side of
my friends '65 painted factory code K in 1965. http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/p...DPOCISHOWa.jpg IMHO it's a great color! http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/p...pCOFFE2013.jpg |

While walking the new car lot in the day . you could assume those color cars were not the ones with 3.90 or 4.33 gears.

I prefer Teal Turquoise but here is a Reef Turquoise convertible I saw in the early 90's
|
The first 65 pic color looks wrong, the other pics color looks great
|
I think it just a poor pic, looks bleached out.
