Butch Leal 1965 Plymouth Question

[jjsipes]

Looking at getting this painted before winter and was wondering if anybody knew what color the car really was? I have seen pictures as Orange and some a Reddish Orange. One picture to me looks like Fords Calypso Coral would be close which I have left from airbrushing a '70 Boss 302.

It looks to me like 1965 Mustang Poppy Red. A red orange shade.

Ford Poppy Red and Ford and Mercury Calypso Coral and Competition Orange is the same color, it has the same color codes from Ford M1730, PPG 60449, Sherwin Williams 2366.
Chrysler Corporation also used that shade and the code is DT3338.
All according to the paintref.com website.
