That car wasn't painted in factory colors and none of the colors on it were Poly (metallic). There are lots of color photos of the car since it was raced in the early '70s on the West coast, your best bet is to try to find the most accurately reproduced photo based on the other colors in the image such as grass, sky, and pavement and choose the best hobby paint match to that.

Looks like a great project, Patrick. If you do a wip, I will be tuning in.
