I´m in the process of building the Goldsmith -64 car

Concerning the exterior color : which red would you think is closest to the color of this car  ?

Preferrably the Revell or Tamiya catalogues.
Or is there anothe brand which has something which comes close ?

Seems that also the Bobby Isaac Dodge had the same color. In the old photos it seems to be slightly "brownish "
Looking at the -64 color program, if Ray nIchels used a stock color,  the closest thing would probably be what they called Ruby,
In that case the Revell Italian red probably could be used,
But recent photos of cars in that Ruby color seems to be more intensly red compared to the period photos of the Goldsmith and Isaac cars
Perhaps the Ray Nichels workshop had a red color of their own on their cars ?
Or is the "brownish hue" an effect of age/ old photos ?

So suggestions what to do/ what to use would be most wellcome

A build I seen listed Guards Red as the color for the Goldsmith car.

The Bobby Isaac cars were Ford Poppy Red. Don't know how close the two are.
