Looks like it could be green cloth interior. 96 code on order sheet for tempest.
Two tone paint looks like 50 sierra yellow, 47 verdoro green. Sent from my Moto Z3 Play using Tapatalk

Wow, that's a crazy color combo. Sierra Yellow and Verdoro Green. Guy must have been a Green Bay Packers fan!
I would have loved to see that car new. I'm not familiar with the Z296 interior code. |

x100 !
Would have been Sierra Body / VooDoo Roof and they even paid Extra to get it that way (2-tone charge) yikes The green cloth was of course a bench seat. Congrats on the save, it looks like a decent body in the picture too. Welcome to PY Forum |

Interior code is 296, not sure what the Z stands for . Maybe a interior paint or something to do with trim option.

Screw off time at lunch, LOL
I took my old 70 LeMans and added a Verdoro green top. |

well thats an odd color combo. but I like it. gotta go back that way.
the z has been a debate for a very long time, yet no one knows what it means. one prevailing theory is a special combination that wasn't the norm or recommended. a buddy's 70 442 convertible, built on first day of Lansing production, has a z in front of the trim code.

Z is for override, meaning interior not recommended with exterior color but they built it anyway.
Cool color combination, hope you keep it that way.

Not for Olds, as my car had a Z and was white with blue interior. |
