    The Dino Register shows one "standard" orange color: Rosso Dino, code 20-R-350. This color is an "orangey red." Sounds as if you're looking for something truly orange, though. I hear the factory would paint any color you wanted, so there may be some "non-standard" international orange cars out there. . . .

    Cheers, Mark

    A 360 Rosso Dino was at the Napa event with us last Saturday!

    It's a beautiful color and is definately "orangey orange"!

    The owner is in California region. Check his avatar. Wait a sec I'll go find him.

    Definitely LOTS of nice colors in the profile pix. And the shapes aren't bad either. :)

    Yea, it woke me up!

    I was out on I40 by your house the other night when they closed it down BOTH ways, had to reroute south to I10E.

    Did you hear details of chemical spill?

    rosso dino is definetly more of an orange than red. i heard it described as "home depot orange" and i feel that is a good description after having seen it. keep in mind it was the seventies and there were a lot of cars from that era with bright solid colors. today, these colors look dated, although ford has several colors i have seen on mustangs that look like a trhough back to that time.

    Don't let 4i2fly hear you call it "home Depot orange"! LOL!

    It actually looked quite nice on the 360, I thought.

    nice pic.

    what's the deal with US 246's and the wipers?

    Some have clap hands, some have normal?

    All Euro cars have clap hands, so I was just curious. Shame about the US indicators too....the flush fit Euro ones are much prettier I think.

    nice sounds... is the Stebro easy to locate... how much was it? I'd be interested in slapping one on my Dino.

    Not many cars could wear that color and carry it off but I like it! Very clean!

    It looks awesome on the 360 IMO! Not for every car that's for sure.

    The 246 is one of those rare cars that gets away with some very strange colors. Including the chairs.
