Is that the same shade of green as Dutchmann's car?

It was somewhat common to add the spoilers back then to make it look like a 300hp S.

I had a continental orange car for a while too 9288101222:

1222 is a 5-speed, production # 1441, German market (central dealer code 113)
I'm corrected here... there's a thread on pelican about 9288100039 where the owner reported it as "orange", then later it was revealed as a repaint over silver.

Olive Green (P2): 0 US, 13 ROW
Oak Green (Y4): 36 US, 229 ROW
Do you have the numbers for Apple Green (P6)? You know, for completeness sake

Apple green is a rare one- 3 US market '78s (2 5-speed 1 auto) and 2 ROW market '78s, 1 5-speed 1 auto.

This poor 79 ROW started out as a light green metallic paint as you can see in the engine compartment. Its for sale for the same price those H4 headlights would run you.
