Those wheels look pretty dark to be the body color of LeMans blue, much darker than the body in those pictures. (see below)

As far as the stripe color, the chart in this link below from Camaro.net, half way down the page shows the 68 car colors and stripe colors. LeMans Blue calls for white stripes. The only foot note below that chart concerning black stripe color says...

"1968: Matador Red have Black stripe with Black vinyl/convertible top."

Also,a little ways below that it says...

SPECIAL PAINT DESIGNATION

"In 1968-69, either deletion of a stripe or use of a non-standard stripe color was also considered to be special paint."


I'm not sure why else the cowl tag would have the special paint "-" mark instead of the "U".
I'm not sure what else would be considered special paint on that car.
