There were three reds according to the Ford parts book, although one of 
them is the burgundy used on the '73-74 USA-model GTS, which doesn't really 
count.

The 1971 cars were painted differently from the 1972 and later cars.   I 
think the 1971 red was a purer, more Italian red, while the '72-74 red had 
more of a tomato flavor to it.

All the paint codes in the attached file are, as far as I know, completely 
obsolete, at least in the USA.   I think Roger Brotton in the UK has had 
luck getting matches made there?   So maybe you have a fighting chance in New 
Zealand....

     From what I understand there were two reds? a darker red and orange
     red?
