There are two cars I know of that were repainted in green metallic relatively early in life.

One was in RI, originally a red car, and is reportedly long dead and gone. Only it's POP and some old pictures still survive.

The other car is still alive. Yellow car originally. Then red primer, then green paint. Then gray primer later. The car was in Columbus, Indiana in the late 80's. It eventually made its way to NC, and was hidden away in the underbrush just a stone's throw from my uncle's house 15 minutes from here, from about 1990 until 2020! The owner passed away in 2020, and his son contacted me to help him identify all the Z16 parts that were scattered and stashed all over his dad's property in multiple buildings, as well as outside.

He has now resurrected the car, fixed the floors, installed a new interior, and has it running and driving with a monster big block in it temporarily until the Z16 engine is rebuilt -- which I found mixed in amongst several dozen other 65-67 big blocks stored in one area on the property. (I'm glad there was no video running, so no one else will ever see me squeal like an excited school girl when I read that deck stamp!!)

He was able to scrub much of the primer and green off, revealing bits of original yellow here and there (mixed in and amongst copious amounts of surface rust). He brought the car to the Carolina Chevelle show at Hendrick Motorsports this past weekend, and it was a big hit!

I will ask him if he has gotten the NCRS shipping report yet to see where it was originally sold.
