I'm getting ready to paint my car, originally FY1 Lemon twist, my question is, how many or what percentage of 1970 Satellite 2dr hdtp's were painted in this high impact color (can't find any info on this) and would it be best to stick with this color or does it even matter being that its just a Satellite and not a RR, I would like to go with another color but don't want to devalue the vehicle if its semi rare
Thank you in advance for any insight on this
Cheers
DG
 
IF it's originally FY1 (have fender tag/build sheet?) then I would keep it original. I doubt many Satellites came in Hi-impact colors from the factory. I owned 2, both 70 Satty convertibles, both were Tor-red.
 
Fender tag

So is there any literature that would tell me what percentage of these were in FY1? I've found some on later models but nothing for 1970
Heres my fender tag decoded
Thanks again
