Is Siennabraun ugly or a cool 70s color?

I love me some RootBeer, when it's fresh and smooth. ;)

An old schoolmate/BoyScout mate of mine is selling his parent's '76 automatic '02. If I didn't live in CA, have way too little disposable income and too many of my own projects I'd pick it up for my wife.

Siennabraun is the color that Sahara owners choose when they are feeling 'daring'.

One of my friends in high school had a 67 Cougar in root beer brown. Looked pretty good with a deep metallic. But then again, it also looked good with its' Landau roof too.

I parted out a totaled Sienabraun 1974 2002A in 1975 (or was it a '75 in '76?)

Whichever, in the mid-'70s I thought Sienabraun was totally un-cool! Now I think it's totally cool!

(Disclaimer: Only my nieces and nephews have ever used the term "cool" to describe me!)

Re-paint it Sienabraun, restore the beige interior, and put a set of gold-centered BBS-Mahles on it. You'll wonder why you ever questioned the color!

Good luck with your project.

Like many colors, it's gorgeous when it's nice fresh paint.

Truly a '70's era color that is timeless in it's own right. Many reasons to keep it stock - dare to be different!

LOVE THE COLOR! My friend has a 76 in this color, tan interior with gold BBS's. It looks amazing and all the old ladies love it!

I like that color....and if you aren't in love with tan or tobacco interior, I'd go black interior with that color...would look awesome IMO!
