Answer 2

not really. it was a pretty standard color for 76. the actual name of the color is Topaz Metallic. i used the site below to find the original color of my 1975 beetle when we restored it. mine was originally cliff green.

Answer 3

From the various sites that came up when I googled this, apparently it was a pretty common color for that year.

For example, when I googled 76 VW bug color (not even including gold), this picture came up:
