I was told by somebody that worked for Jim Funston Chevrolet that the Mod Topper Z-28 was originally painted L-L Tahoe Turquiose from the factory and that it got changed to a custom Apricot color (not Granada Gold). As such, the rally wheels were painted to match the custom paint job.

This is most interesting as last week at the Camaro Nationals Bruce (Bergey) pulled me over so a person could show me a picture of his 68Z he purchased from original owner in 1974 (I think that is correct) and it was stripe delete with color painted rally wheels. I told him I had never seen that before and wish I had gotten his name and pic of car which the first owner had given him. Picture was taken by original owner so it was an oldie.

That is a GREAT Z, would love to own it. Any idea if it was ordered with or without stripes?

Yes, the cowl was painted white for the white strips, so it had them. When the car was painted Silver, the cowl was painted black, but there are white areas still visible. The last photo of a 1969 Z is how it would have been painted from the factory. As you probably know, LOS painted the entire cowl white, and some white paint gets on the cowl tag letters that stick out.
