Original color is Pastel Gray(Which is White in color and not Gray). According to previous owner car was painted due to scratches. Interestingly enough car still retains it's factory applied side stripes. In 1979 stripes were obsolete from Ford Motor Company and they weren't available from aftermarket sources at the time. So they taped off the original side stripes and did an excellent job where you need to look very up close and at certain angle to see how careful of a job they did. The original side stripes are a shade darker in color than repro stripes and seem thicker too.
