Hi all


I am not sure whether this post should be in "Paint and Panel" but:

does anyone know what the correct colour would be for an M21 Aussie box circa 1971? I have been told it is the early 'red motor' colour sold as VHT "Bright Red".

Thanks

Baz

if it was painted it would have been Holden Red (which is sought of orange) but i have a strange feeling they werent painted at all, the Autos werent. Plus u dont see many painted in the original colour..... So i dont think they were painted

Will have to check my Biante's but pretty sure the bellhousing is alloy (silver - I paint mine!!), and the gearbox housing is VHT Holden Rocket Orange (Holden Red), as is the tail shaft.
