Does anyone know the color name or color code for the red 1969 Barracuda?
I bought my dad's first boat back at auction and I'm restoring it, hoping to surprise him with it later this year. Any knowledge, help is Greatly appreciated! |

If you search the diaries on this site there are some listed as Candy Apple Red. Also right now there is a 1968 brochure for sale on eBay and that also list the color as Candy Apple Red.

I have not heard of Candy Apple Red being an "official" CC color; but what do I know. We lost a lot when the ransomware attack hit the site.
FWIW - my '64 Al Tyll skier was listed as Dragon Red. It was based on the shorter (earlier) Barracuda hull. Still in restoration process....

My Marauder19 was listed as Candy Apple Red on the build sheet.

That is true.
Thank You. My boat isn't that red though, it's darker. |

It was an official CC color in '68 but my boat isn't that red.
I'll try to look up the "Dragon Red". Thank You. |

Absolutely!
Dad's 85 now and has cancer so I'm pressed for time but trying to do it right and get it as close to original as I can. |

Mahogany would be the darker red, I believe. Can also look a bit brown (especially if faded/oxidized).
