So, I found this out...

My car arrived a day early, Last night around suppertime. Looks like the cowl tag was pretty hacked in the past, but it also show the original color as Jade Gold, car is now Ocean Turquoise.

I pulled up the driver’s sill plate and found past evidence of floor patching and some small perforations over top of the frame rail area.

This is within my expectations though, I just bought a 52 year old car...and it smells wonderful!

^^^This. The factory used seam sealer on the rivets for the cowl tag. All of mine look like this also.
