Gator Grain on 70 Satellite

Picked up a 70 Satellite parts car a few years ago and the vinyl top was mostly gone but enough of it still there to see it's a gator grain material. The fender tag and sheet were MIA but appears to be triple FK5 orange.
I've also got another 70 Sat that I've had for years and it has it's tag and BS intact. So I just got curious the other day and decoded it just for fun. Guess what, it's got V1G on the tag and BS. I never knew it was a gator grain car because it didn't have a vinyl top on it when I got it. The tag shows this one to be FF4, lime green metallic. Apparently someone removed it long ago and painted the top same as body color.

So was this a common option in 1970? I've read where the V1G indicates gator grain same as body coler which would be lime green in this case. And then other sources how V1G to be black gator grain. Anyone know which is correct?

Thanks

A V1G "gator grain" top was an OPTION and cost the same as a Black, White, or Green top in 1970 on a B or E-body. Chrysler Corp. didn't keep numbers (that survived publicly) by colors, but I'd "assume" V1G is the rarest of the 4 colors offered. The original color of a V1G top is brown with black veins running thru it, they turned black with age/exposure to sunlight (UV).

Black Gator Grain is simply INCORRECT!! - Most surviving original tops look like this - on my former '70 S/23 Fury FF4 V1G.
