Thanks Ed! He says that's it exactly (except for the Hurst wheels of course).

Spoke with my Dad today and says it wasn't a bright Silver it was more of a Green/Gray so we assume Seafoam Green must have been the actual color. Tough to remember all the details on something you haven't seen in 43 years I suppose.

He definately remembers Silver so it was either 'Special Paint' or whatever would look the most like Silver.

I appreciate it Ed. My dad swears it was an L78 but you know how selective memory goes sometimes. He doesn't have any pictures but it was Silver with a Black Vinyl top and Black header stripe. I was 5 years old and all I remember about the car was my dad showing me how the hide-away lights worked and how upset he was when it was stolen. I'm sure the car was stripped to a million pieces before the end of that week, that's why I posted it in the 'orphan' section. Thanks for checking for me. He took the insurance money and bought a Vedero Green '68 GTO convertible, RAII 4-speed (that I have pictures of, LOL).

In 1968 my father bought a brand new Silver RS/SS 396 4-speed. Sadly it was stolen out of our driveway 2 weeks later (while we were home!!) and never heard from again. I have been checking from time to time for it and thought I would try here. It was stolen in Greater Boston in 1968 (the selling dealer and/or employee was thought to be the thief though never proven). Here is the vin#: 124378N402043. Thank you for any info.
