Which yellow?

[electricgreen]

Ok, we are building our 73 into an Eleanor clone (for the original '74 version, not the one with Nicholas Cage). Here's the dilema-we *think* she was actually a 71 BOSS 351, not a 73 Mach (even the website says she was a 71, we have done some looking into the history of the car and believe it was really a BOSS). Now, this leaves us with having to decide which shade of yellow. Most models show her as a brighter yellow, but looking at the pics, we dont think she was.

Here is a pic of the real Eleanor:

Now, here is a 71 BOSS, in med. yellow gold:

Here is a 73 in Med bright yellow (the correct color for a 73 Mach in yellow):

What would you do? We're going for correctness here, but we're not sold on the "orangy" color of the 71 BOSS.

Medium yellow gold no doubt. I just like the appearence it gives to the body lines of that era.

Med Yellow Gold.....I have seen this color in person.....and I think it would fit your car just right.
