Something that had occurred to me today. I had been intending, in absence of any evidence of the original colors or codes, to paint her in Matador Maroon when I got the bodywork done.

But I noticed today that the dashboard is black, and doesn't appear to have been media blasted with the car. Could that be a clue to the original color of the car, if its authentic? I cant imagine a red or green car with a black factory dash, maybe gray?

If it turned out this pointed to being one of the factory black special order cars, that'd change my plans a bit.

Also, picked up some pieces at the Pate auction, so getting closer!
