The reference to International Maroon 22 along with the range in years the paint was used yield a current reference:

Ditzler PPG 50011, DuPont 91-6986

which the local mixing shop ciphered to be: 84 Iveco 50011 IC141

My builder lives near the owner of a 289 Cobra. The car has been restored to its original Rouge Iris. The builder will visit with the owner in an attempt to identify the formula Mike McClusky used in the restoration.
