Picked up a barn find and had it towed home this past Saturday. It is burnt orange in color.

I am trying to figure out what color it is and the engine size.

Any help appreciated.

Cowl tag will tell you what it had original.

kevinkpk thanks, this is the original paint. I did find something online but all it said was orange.

The cowl tag will tell you where it was built, interior\exterior colors etc. Going out on a limb, small block 327. Does it have a 2 b Rochester carb?

It has a 4bb, i believe it's a 350

VIN isn't showing up.

Hmmm, I wonder if it's because it has not been registered since 92? That's the vin I double checked.

My '75 has a 400 small block. You could get a 454
or a 350 as well. The big block would be obvious,
the small blocks are harder to tell apart. There
ought to be a boss on the engine block with a code
that you can chase down.

Of course by this point anything could have happened.
Mine had an overheating problem that ended up being
due to some cheese head using the wrong head gasket
(400s are "special") when they swapped a mismatched
head onto it. I swapped them both for a fresh set of "1X"
9:1 CR big valve heads and proper gaskets.

Where on the engine block with this be? I have tried to research by the vin but it is not pulling up, it has been sitting since 1992.

Thanks,
