    It is likely your car does have the engine lid with no center bar (late 1968 version)

    For sure. I was thinking of the proper lid for the three bar grill instead of the later lid with the 5 bar grill supports.

    Dark green metallic is rare.
    That is really nice
    I was agree , your grill might only have 3 bars.

    Simon,

    Would you happen to have a formula for your paint by any chance?

    So, I received a few years ago a formula which shows a “dark metallic green colour” but I am not 100% certain that it is correct. I also was told by a member of this forum (Jens) that the 1968 Highland Green (on the Bullitt car) is exactly the same, but also no formula that I can find. Any help about how to source the correct colour?Name: IMG_1366.jpeg Views: 327 Size: 87.3 KB

    Shouldn’t you have a 6 bars engine grill?
    Which month is your 68?
