If when you say, "Ive seen......" if you mean cars at local shows, cruise ins, etc, then that's probably because folks sometimes restore cars as they like them.
I have a buddy who bought an unrestored numbers matching fathom green 69 z/28. When he restored it, he painted it garnet red, used a black grill, and continued the stripes over the deck lid lip. Why? He knew what was "correct", but he wanted it that way!
