i think Ontario Orange was the most popular color in '72? funny, how rare it is now. it's a shame. i love the classic 70's colors: Ontario Orange, Elkhart Green, WBY... even Targa Blue seems uncommon.

I was actually thinking the '69 was Ontario Orange, but of course it was Monacco Orange(deeper orange color). And although the '73 did offer Orange it was also a much brighter color.

I thought Monoco Orange was a solid orange (non-metalic) used in 69 - Similar to the Camaro Hugger Orange.
I like both of those colors BTW.

I believe they are correct 1970 - 1972, paint code 987. Mine is a 1972. I have seen a C-5 painted this color and it looked great!
