He did, as a Firebird color in '67, and it was special order available on the '67 GTO's as well. Done correctly, it's gorgeous. Back in the day when I was a kid, it tended to fade into a flat Army Green in about 5 years and look bad.

Tony, your '68 is looking absolutely KILLER! You are doing that old car justice.
They all looked like old military vehicles as the Verdoro green faded. I grew to detest that color as it reminded me of my Viet Nam years (lost too many friends!). Happy that my '68 is a nice Flambeau Burgundy.

Happy to say, Tony, that your car looks fantastic, very well done . Thanks for giving me a better feeling for it.
