Original Color

Just inherited a 1973 450 SLC from my brother-in-law. It needs some body work around the sun roof and back window. Hoe can I find the original color for this model?

Thanks for any help.

VIN # is 10702412003109 and is a light blue. I see there is an aqua blue from that year that looks OK.

Thanks for your help.

Should be a metal plate on the radiator support that will tell you the color of the top and body. Should be a three digit number with a G or an H at the end.
