Yes, somebody at my work just got a 71. coupe 350 4 speed white shift ball. Hooker sidepipes. I would like to know the color. It looks orange but it does look like a factory color. Paint is brand new. So new he hasn't washed it yet or put on the front and rear emblems. Very nice looking Vette. The interior looks original and it's saddle and just a little faded.The one thing that did stick out is the white shift ball. Is that right?

check the trim tag inside the driver's door... should be two codes there, one for the interior, one for the exterior..

Ontario Orange is a great color. I would love to have one with black interior. The white shift ball is not original.

Vette(s): Frederick County Corvette Club (Maryland) Tan 64 365 Hp Conv 4 sp Red 72 4 sp Conv ..running a '68 327 Blue 76 Coupe L 48 4 sp White 79 Coupe L 82 auto Silver 98 Conv, 6 sp 35th Anniv '88 vette

Shift Ball of course is NOT correct but who really cares especially with the Side Pipes...

My 72 was originally Ontario Orange...and believe me I have looked at
100's of 72 Ontario Orange cars over the 20 + years I have owned mine and IF I saw two that were the same shade I would be surprised... Loved how a few looked hated most of the others ... So I repainted mine ReSale Red..

There were also two shades of Saddle interiors offered ..mine is light saddle but there was a Dark saddle also..
