I have been asked why my 73 340 is painted orange instead of blue.
Because a light blue engine with a orange air cleaner looks like CRAP in a yellow engine compartment!!!
Sounds like my friend with a 70 GTX - by the fender tag - tan body with a black vinyl roof and green interior. He said no way - painted white with black vinyl top and black interior. He could care less what the fender tag said.
