What color is that car painted ? [68 350 Bird]
It looks like a pale pastel seafoam green'ish color in most pics,
or is that an illusion ?
In a few pics it looks maybe Mayfair Maze
He has it listed as Tan

The trim tag is "T" Primavera Beige [ultra ultra rare - for a reason of course]
Ivy Gold interior
Green Vinyl Top (8)

Very Wild Combo

Here's an original paint 68 in Primavera Beige. Looks the same and even appears to have the same green vinyl top.

Wow
identical color combo's
Only the Aussie 400 car has deluxe interior vs. standard on the 350 car

Top Color #8 was called Gold by PMD
Apparently similar to the green-ish gold interior color Ivy Gold
The top on the 350 car might be a little off, or the color balance on his camera.

The old paint chart i have for 68 makes Primavera look more brown/grey toned.
The color chart on FGF site looks more like these cars do.

The Aussie 400 car is pretty spectacular ... beyond the color combo

Yes, code 8 was a gold vinyl top. The 350 car has clearly been re-done, and the green top may have just been someone's guess at the correct color based on what the faded original gold top looked like. Or to match the faded gold interior...? Looks horrible. Car's full of bondo, too.

The 400 car appears to have its original top, as the ad states. The gold tended to fade/discolor badly.

I used to own a car identical to the 400 one (auto/air/deluxe, etc.), except mine also had hood tach and gauges. Although you wouldn't think it, Primavera Beige with the gold top and gold interior is a stunning combination on a Firebird, when all the colors are "right".

Almost every one in these colors I've ever seen (including the one I had) was sold new in CA. I think someone in the West Coast zone office figured out that this seemingly unusual mix of available colors looked great together, and encouraged dealers to order it.
