Yup! Definitely Elkhart Green! Elkhart Green with Medium Saddle Interiror has to be the most underrated combination!

Re: what color is this? (70L46)
According to the black book, ElkhartGreen was the 2nd most popular color in 1972, yet you rarely see it. There were only 2478 Mille Miglia Red Corvettes built in 1972, anyone care to guess how many there are today :lol:

Dad and I's first Vette was a 73 in Elkhart Green. After we sold it, the next owner painted it red (even though we had it repainted).

Re: what color is this? (Simon Alexander)
My car was and is elkhart green. Under the inside door trims its still green. I like the colour too, but i think red is better.

Re: what color is this? (Easy Mike)
So, Elkhart Green was not a color produced on '74's?
I have a co-worker with a '74 that she may sell that she says is Green. I always assumed it had to be Elkhart Green because I have never seen the car.

Re: what color is this? (VolVette)
Surprise, surprise...a whole post about my car and I don't know about it until Turbo-Jet points it out to me 16 days later. :lol:
The car is Elkart Green with Dark Saddle deluxe interior. This color was not what I was looking for, but I do like it more and more each day. A friend of mine likens it to a Hot Wheels car, and says I should have a life-size segment of orange track in my garage to park it on. I think he's right. :cheers:
