Unusual colour as it is 8/1971 and the colour appears to be available from 1966-1970 by the Dulux GMH Colour Range.
Has any other cars GTR's been spotted in this colour

Hi Gavwell. I have an LJ SL sedan sprayed original egmont maroon with plate stamped 6818 colour code. Turns out exported Torana could be sprayed any colour requested by purchaser. Car never made export in the end and was sold in NSW. It's been in my family since day one. Recently resprayed same colour and gets interest everywhere I go. It's not a GTR but it goes like one.

My brother bought this LC GTR new from Ken Sams motor early 1970, he thought the colour was called maroon marone but it probably is monarco maroon
He took it on holidays to lightning ridge months after buying it and a big red roo ploughed into the drivers door, bounced off and kept going. Car received a bruised guard, door and bent mirror.
He loved that car right up until he traded it in
