Does anyone want to give it a stab?
Rare color?
It has a trunk pan which is questionable but it comes with a new one.
Rear quarters have blisters behind the back tires but no rust through.
The engine bay isn't painted.
It has racing buckets in it but it comes with its original Split bench seat.
Headliner is sagging and it comes with 2 new bumpers.
Paint looks a little better then driver quality.
Not original motor.

Heres the tag.

Colors were not tracked prior to 70 so there is no way to know 'rarity'.

I have ~700 '69 RR's tags on file. I don't have a breakdown of percentages by color but Q5 is not common.

Q5 is nice. If you restore it, please consider keeping the original color.
 
That is a 1969 vin tag not a 1970 tag.

Yes you are correct. I confused one of his cars with this one.

Not knowing the real color is bugging me. Q5... Not known at this time..
I'm wondering if it wasn't a teal type color.

Q5 is a great color imo. Seafoam turquoise. A little lighter and than B5 with a touch of green added in.
 
Q5 for 69 only is Bright Turquoise Metallic.
FQ5 for 70/71 is Turquoise Metallic.
