Early Turquoise 426 Blocks?

Post by scottm »

A web visitor was speaking with someone who made a
reference to early 1966 426 Hemi blocks (built in 1965)
that came in turquoise, not orange. Anyone confirm?

In 1966 I ordered a Black Belvedere, Black Vinyl interior, 4 speed street Hemi. It came with a Light Blue/ Torquise engine block from factory.
