Any
true yellow redline car is a pretty good find, especially if it's in
good
condition and not plagued with metal toning or "pepper spots".
Yellow was a
new Spectraflame color for 1970, but it appears that it was used on
some of
the later production runs of 1969 Hot Wheels cars. As a result,
yellow '69
Grand Prix cars are pretty scarce.
Think
you've found a true yellow car? The only way to tell for sure is
to
compare it to a few lime cars, or to put it side by side with other
yellow cars.
Lime is often mistaken for yellow, but upon careful inspection, you can
usually
see a tinge of green in the paint. True yellow has no hint of
green.
