Hot Rods 15oz coupe color

Anyone know any details on the color code or name of the color that the 15oz coupe was painted? Probably a long shot but I’m thinking about building somewhat of a tribute in that color scheme and figured I’d ask

 

What's the 15oz. coupe?

 

Looks to be plain old red oxide in colour


Is this the same car above as this one back in the day?

 

Looks Red to me as well.

 

I’ve seem some red oxides that look more orange than red? Any idea on which brands lean towards orange?

 

I dug these up and appears that it was once shiny red/orange. According to 1965 Modern Rod article it was painted orange, last paragraph, second column.

 

Poppy red... Which was a Mustang color....

 

I bet Mark Hinds knows. He grew up just up the street from Les Hawlkins. I would bet Poppy Red too.

 

Peter Vincent (the photographer) is the current caretaker, he might know the original color.

 

Did you call the # on the rear 1/4?
