I will check more tomorrow when I can see more.
behind kick panels - doesn't seem to really be painted.
Fender wheels - undercoated
Under package tray- looks like light gray or so with orange overspray.
There is a lot of orange everywhere. I am thinking that was the color, although the hood and roof most likely were repainted since the vinyl top and stripes were missing.
Was there a standard color primer?

Those numbers may be part numbers for the drip rail or panels. The number you're looking for it the same number(s) that is double stamped on the radiator support and matches the number on the lower (bottom) right on the fender tag. It should be on the top of the drip rail on the driver's side middle to rear on the drip rail and under the weather strip, see photo. You may have found the number with the arrow near it?

Omaha Orange is a cool colour  Is that the actual car in the first pic before it was repainted silver? Dave

Is a VON the same as S.O. Number? And was it only used up to and including 1968?
PS I like the silver and the wheels!
Basically the same thing. an SO number is the sales order number that was pre-printed on the dealers sales order forms and used as a portion/combination in different places such as the IBM, B/S, FT, and as the hidden numbers on the cars up until the 1969 year. In 1969 they changed this to a VON or vehicle order number which was still used in the various places mentioned above EXCEPT not for the hidden numnbers on the car bodies.

I disagree.
The code may specify a non-production color, but who's to say it's correct with *any* color?
I'd hate to have an owner with one of these regional CA cars paint it some other color and claim it's correct. In the end, the pedigree is lost unless a build sheet exists.
The fact that the current owner has found some orange on this car is pretty cool, though.

If it had a broadcast sheet it too would only show a 999 color code so it proves nothing regarding what the car was actually painted.

yes, the picture shows the condition of the car around the time we bought it. I know there are more pictures some where. I will have to look for them.
I will take some more pics this weekend of the interior and trunk.
As far as the original color, I don't think I will ever know for sure, but I am having a good time investigating.
Thanks for compliments on the silver - its a dodge viper color, The wheels are Edelbrock
wheels that they made for a very short time.
And Thanks for all Help/Advice!!

Found the SO number in trunk.
It matches th radiator support and fender tag.
Heading to work for a bit.
I will try to take apart the interior and snap some pics tomorrow.
I am excited that this car appears to actually be a special order car.
