    Ni-i-i-ice. . . From the pics the color seems a bit darker than modern day Toxic Orange, but not to the point of 70-71 Burnt Orange; pulled out of the oven just right and that interior contrasts to just the right point :2thumbs:

    Bet you are just waiting for the day you can start putting smiles umm...miles on your ride :)

    Looks close to 70 FK5 to me... 71 GK6 is darker...  The last digit of the code kinda indicates that....
    FY1 is a light Yellow
    TX9  is  black....

    EB3 is a light silver blue
    EB5 medium blue
    EB7 dark blue
