T3: Re: Paint

[Allen Moore <concept@compassnet.com>]

Dear Charles:

  According to the Microfiche, in the 1970 model year there were two
greens available.
  One was Elm Green (Code L60 D (09) and the other was Deep Sea Green, L
66 B
  (60)

  With the Elm Green the following Interior Colors were available:

  Cloth:            Brown Stripe
                       Platinum Pattern

  Leatherette:    Black
                        Cream White
                        Nut Brown
                        Platinum

 For the Deep Sea Green the interior options were:


Cloth:            Brown Stripe
                     Platinum Pattern

Leatherette:  Cream White
                    Nut Brown
                    Platinum

  From what I understand the Deep Sea Green is more of a Blue/Green
while the
  dark green is the Elm Green.  I have a 1970 Squareback and I am
seriously
  considering repainting it in this color and changing the interior to
the Nut Brown.
  Has anyone EVER seen a Platinum Leatherette interior?

  Hope this helps!
