I found this site when I was looking for the paint codes for my dad's Chevelle. It has the bright red in there. If you want something else I also know a guy who did his Camaro in Torch Red (C5 corvette colour). http://www.chevellestuff.com/1971/paint.htm

Chevelle above is a 71, most were painted Canberry Red. Looks like I got beat to your question.

I thought Cranberry Red was a 70 color but would look great on any year Chevelle.

Sounds like the Cranberry red is the common choice. Will be checking it out for sure. Thanks.
