‘71 Cuda convertible at MI broker

Interesting color change, most everyone when changing a E body's color goes to purple or limelight, this one was changed from tawny gold to autumn bronze!

It looks like Tawny Gold to me -- GK6 Autumn Bronze is more of a dark, root beer colour

[JH27N0B]

It looks like autumn bronze to me, and my 71 Challenger is autumn bronze so it's a color I know well!  If you look at the fender tag pictures, they look original tawny gold contrasted to the autumn bronze fenders.

Nice car....but I will disagree with both of you.....IN MY OPINION.....I think they were going for Twany Gold but missed the mark....but I think it's closer to Twany Gold then Autumn Bronze. I think if they were going for Autumn Bronze they missed the mark even further, it should be a lot darker...

Great looking car

I've noticed while looking at pictures of my autumn bronze 71 and my burnt orange 70 Challengers those shades vary greatly depending on the lighting.
But looking at the pictures of the cuda closer, I think it might not be either autumn bronze or tawny gold, it looks more like a '70 color, FT6.

I will agree with you there, great selection of pictures

Ok my head is spinning with all of these like colors going back and forth.     Good reference information though...

here are two '71 Challenger R/Ts in original paint: GK6 VS. GY9

and original paint Charger R/T door scoops of 1970's FK5 "dark burnt orange metallic" VS. FT6 "dark tan metallic"

Nice pictures again, It's closest to FT6 in my opinion...

The "brown" '71 Cuda convertible looks to me like the same car that was for sale through "Cars-On-Line dot com" for about a year. Was out of Indiana and for a '71 Cuda convertible it was "reasonably" (cough! cough!) priced at something like $70K-$75K. I was interested in it but I just couldn't bring myself to spend that kind of money (that's a lot of money to me) on a hobby car.

If I was mixing Tawny gold I think I would "fix it" as well.

I agree with you.  The picture of the inner fender with the fender tags is one of the few shots in which I can see the reddish tones on my computer.  Otherwise it looks like a dark gold, though a 'warmer' colour than FT6.

Well no one mentioned watching the video?...lol.

After watching it, it looks closer to Tawny to me.

problem is 
video is inside under fluorescent / mercury / sodium / other lights
some of the pictures are outside in natural light
modern paint formulas all seem to have pearl / flop / other components that vintage paint did NOT have & every paint manufacturer has their own formulas

then the professional painter with access to a mix rack "tints" the color to be more "correct" in their eyes or "more better" 

none are the same, some are close - then "WE" try to determine what is correct on our phones/computer monitors    it is NOT easy!!
