No they were not. They were Camaro Hugger Orange.Red looks orange in photos and movies, hell the general Lee's were Corvette red.
Kitty agrees it's orange.That is red, men are just colorblind
We're actually both wrong. Here it is. TNT Express is the name of the color. It's an orange color used by shipping companies.No they were not. They were Camaro Hugger Orange.
In his thermos which he will clean out and fill with paint.And where's his beer?
If Wikipedia is correct, LA 318 was available for a 1967 Monaco in Canada only. Maybe yours confirms this.The exhaust manifold is orange ??? Its likely someone used a computer graphic program on it . I have an 318 out a 67 rag Monaco but I was never sure if it was original. It is red .

This photo kind of looks like a Poly engine. At least it does on my tiny little phone screen.View attachment 1715845298
1964 or 1967? Same looking Windsor plant ? photo called 1964 but the caption says 1967. Who's taillight are those? Orange/Red blocks? Courtesy Allpar

That could be an LA or a poly. 67 still had poly engines in Canada but the U.S. saw them go bye bye with the 66 model year.View attachment 1715845298

It's a LA in the original picture, exhaust manifolds give it away also.That could be an LA or a poly. 67 still had poly engines in Canada but the U.S. saw them go bye bye with the 66 model year.

it is a small block la motor distributor in the rear, big blocks are in the frontOkay, thats what i thought! But I couldn’t tell for sure at that angle.
I said this several times. 69' 340 automatics were turquoise, the 4 speeds were Hemi orange ( I have a dealer brochure that shows this). 72' 318's were blue (bought a B300 van new that had it) I installed a 70' 340 in it and painted it the correct blue for that year. Look COOL with the "340 Four Barrel" emblems under the Sportsman Royal Maxi ones on the doors, under to the mirrors. Sure do miss it, but kept the motor for another day.My moms 66 fury poly 318 automatic was red, my wife's 67 dart 273 2bbl automatic was red, my 68 cuda 318 2bbl automatic was red, my 69 cuda 340 4bbl automatic was turquoise. The '67, '68, 'and '69 were built in Hamtramck, but I don't know the plant origin of the engines. I don't remember seeing any orange SB engines prior to 1970, but might have been asleep or otherwise occupied at the time. I did see a lot of turquoise 4bbl BB's through '69, but the HP's were orange in '69, '70, '71. Seems everything went corporate blue by '73 or '74. Not sure about '72. I worked as a mechanic in '70-78 at a dealership in Detroit, saw too many cars over too many years to remember the grey areas around 1973, but I'm fairly sure there were still a few '73' SB's that were still orange. All of the 440 police cars '73-'78 were corporate blue. Those cars had a first gear lockout bracket bolted to the transmission pan to prevent use of manual first gear. All of the cops wanted it removed
I looked long and hard. Those two motors are not the same. The one in the background appears to be a poly (wide) and the front one an LA. Dist. are both in the rear, so not a BB or RB. Yes, it appears to be a Monaco. The brown oil filters, stumped me.I don't know. There's another engine ahead of where he is that's orange too. Strange. But yeah, colorizing might be one explanation I guess.
