Lovely Nocciola GT Spotted

great color

 

Very pretty , wow !

 

I do like that. Brings put the lines of the car very well.

 

US car with European wipers.. Weird..

 

They don't look like they're lying right.
Maybe US wipers and they are not mounted correctly.

That is a beautiful color on the car.

 

Yes, something wrong with how the "clappers" sit at home position. Still, very pretty car... but I say that about all Dinos!

 

what s/n is it?

 

fantastic colour, one of my favorites...
the wipers are correct for early US-models, the change took place late summer 1972
chassis no. and/or body no. would help to confirm

Just finished going through the "What color to paint her" thread as I am on a fully original restoration of 03872 which was originally Nocciola. When I bought the car it was a no brainer that I would change colors. As I agonize over the smallest detail like zinc freeze plugs or brass, gold zinc or silver on 100's of metal parts, original leather color and grain with Henk at HVL, etc. I am coming to the conclusion that Nocciola is the only choice.

Opinions?

Do it. It's an unconventional color, and you have the advantage that no one will fault you for going original.

 

While I really don't like that color, and can't imagine it on any other car, it sure does look wonderful on a Dino. And as pointed out many times before, some colors just seem made for a Dino, bringing out the gorgeous its curves. This definitely falls into that category!

 

Very nice.

 

Great photos, Tom. Thanks for posting.
Intriguing, beautiful color!
As I have been walking by at least a thousand cars from the 60's and 70's this weekend in Phoenix, I was reminded that gold/brown/beige metallic colors were quite popular on American cars at that time. None of them were exactly like this one, though. Really unique, this Nocciola - and very attractive on the Dino.


Scott (dinofan): If I were you, I would not hesitate to go with Nocciola. If you are lucky enough to have a car which was originally delivered in such a rare and exquisite color, why wouldn't you? Some of these unusual colors also have a way of growing on you. The more you look at them, the more you like them. Besides, if anybody asks you why you chose such an unusual color, you have the ultimate answer, the one nobody can argue with!

What a colour - Superb

 

Scott

You're one lucky person to have that colour original to your car

Its a no brainer

 

Thanks for the input. I have a few months for the final decision but i am leaning towards the Nocciola.
