    In an effort to fill in some background to my car, does anyone recognize the Stage 1 in my avatar? Originally bought from Ballenger Buick in Laurel MD, lived in DC during the late '70s-early '80's. Very slim opted, bench seat, base steering wheel, no ac.
    Slim to no chance, I know. But worth a shot.

    Although not my car looks alot like it. Is it Burnished cinnamon or Bittersweet? How about some more pictures?

    I don't know the name for that color, but its very similar to Chevy's recent metallic orange I've seen on pick-ups and Cavaliers. Thats the only pic I have of it in one piece and I had to take a picture of of a 3x5 glossy to digitize. Right now the powder coated frame is hanging from the barn rafters, the rest of the chassis parts are pc aswell. The interior is in the guest room, the engine is in the basement, trans in the barn...well you get the picture. This project has been on the back burner for about 15 years!
    Good luck with your pieces;)

    What is the paint code on the data plate? 62 would be bittersweet 67 Burnished Cinnamon.
