Engine color.....again

Postby cjbiagi » Sun Oct 23, 2016 9:04 pm

Sorry, I messed up my earlier post. I am looking for the correct engine color for a 75 Olds Starfire (not Skyhawk).

Clyde, if it is a 75 Buick V-6 it will be the same color no mater what Make Model it originally came in, they were only made in the Flint Buick City Plant if I remember correctly.

Correct - it would not be Olds blue since it's not an Olds engine.
