I believe the color is 1968 Chevy Truck Orange

info from paint.com site.......

I personally inspected the in question Grabiak 68 Z/28. There is no doubt in my mind the wheels were painted Omaha Orange from new. The original WTGT tires where stacked next to the car as well. I have also seen a special order Verdoro Green Z/28 with a white VT and the green matching rally wheels. Why GM did this I am not sure, but it was put into use on these two cars and others as well it would seem...BKH
