So call it "General Lee Orange". Sort of like "Petty Blue", British Racing Green, and yes, Hemi Orange.


If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

Jim Morgan in Seattle owns one of the remaining 17 original cars. I’ve seen it many times but not since I moved away. I would love to hear his take on the color—wondering if he ever tried to color-match touchup paint and what he discovered in the process. Was hemi orange or Omaha orange close? What Mopar color is the closest?

He used to wax right over rust spots at car shows.....it’s not a car you can “restore” without destroying originality and value.

That was in the episode "Happy Birthday General Lee". It was a TV show. (Not real)
Mr Schneider was speaking of the actual first car built for the series in real life.

You mean a car that was built but never used in any show?
