1980 Bullnose - Is this a factory paint scheme?

Rembrant
Clean, low mileage old girl...only 75,000 kms...45k miles-ish.

Wild paint scheme...is that factory?

That is a clean truck.  But, it seems over-priced, even knowing that's Canadian dollars.

As for the paint, I think that's a Type 4 tape stripe, as shown here: Specifications/Tape Stripe Codes.  However, it has a spot of blue in the middle of the hood that isn't part of that kit, so that may have been added when they had the topper painted.

$6870.47 USD. 47068 miles. I don't know, looks nice.

Those white walls though...where's that hurling emoji. (Disclaimer, no bad intentions to those who like white walls!)

You're safe with me...lol. My truck had white walls on it when I bought it, and they were the first thing to go.

I missed this one... definitely looks aftermarket to me. The Type 4 stripes were used on the Freewheeling packages, and I’ve not seen that in combination with two tone paint. Also the broad upper body “stripe” that has a little peak by the wing window and hockey stick extension up the B pillar are not Type 4. The line drawings on the website don’t show the window stripes for freewheel or XLS. Not sure why.

Good catch, Jonathan.  I missed those points.  But, in my defense, that paint scheme is sooooo busy it is really hard to focus on details.
