Its the factory 76 Chevrolet Light Green. Thank you for the compliment. It was kinda hard to go back with this color, but it has grown on me.

To paraphrase the warning for the world's most popular pill:

For "length" lasting more than 35 years, please consult a professional- and leave it alone!

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds

Then about two months ago my mom traded a Pontiac Sunfire for this 76 scottsdale. 4x4, built 400 sbc, automatic, 4 inch lift. I loved driving it, but it wasn't my moms thing..so bye bye it went.
also the last two pics were a couple days after she got it. When she sold it it looked alot cleaner.
