The Green color was called "Big Bad Green" by American Motors in 1969 & 70. They also offered Big Bad Orange and Big Bad Blue (which can be seen in the Quaker Steak Car show photo). Many people think it's Chrysler's "Sublime" green, but AMC offered it first in 1969.
The black hood treatment was called a "Shadow Mask" hood option, and was actually a "satin" finish that could be polished or waxed.
Sorry, didn't mean to steal the thread.
