July 7, 2007 - While rooting around in one of the paint websites, I dug a little deeper and discovered my Opel red!
Most sites don't go back to 1968, and of course Lancia wasn't using 2000 model year colors back in the 80's. But this site did go back, and it turns out that Opel Flame Red has the color code L512 and was used on the GT. Knowing that, it's not difficult to find pictures of the cars in that color, and we may have a winner!
The Flame Red is mostly "Red Orange" in the mixture with just a touch of other colors. It's pretty pure though. Pictures seem to show an intense red or an orangish red as far as I can tell. I'll get a sample mixed up on Monday and compare it.
