You are correct, the car came from the assembly line in the frost green.

The original owner went to the dealership and there was this car in the frost green, and a Z28 4 speed next to it in Fathom green. She didn't want a 4 speed car, so... According to the story (and paperwork / receipts I have) the dealership made the sale by painting the car for her in the darker green that she desired. Definitely don't get that service these days. haha

The paperwork states dark green, not Fathom or British Racing green, so when I purchased the car, I had assumed it was Fathom. I bought paint for the hood and spoiler, and once sprayed, that's when I realized the shade difference. I was at a car show locally and parked next to a 68 Camaro in BRG. Before then, I hadn't heard of the color
