Yes that's the original color.

The Z paint code was still used for special paint when that car was built. They did not start using Z for British Green until that paint color became available in January 1968.

- - for special paint started January of 1968.

I left a message for the guy I was sure was orig. owner but it wasn't him. Tore into the car more today. This thing is amazing. Found a 1967 dime inside a 1/4 below the 1/4 glass. Found a Kodak Viewmaster disk and a notebook in drivers door.

trans had duplicate tags bolted together upside down. Rear wheel lips are rolled. Vin was stamped on top of trans.

Nice find! Looks like a perfect candidate for a Super Car Workshop restoration.

I'm thinking the holes in the cowl panel were probably to mount some type of gauge.

Two transmission tags? Don't think I have seen that before.

What's the date on the 1111266 distributor?

Not unusual to see the partial VIN in top of trans for a LOS car.
