This topic has been discussed in several previous threads but the answers and learned comments have only created a dilemma for me as I appear to have an anomaly. I am getting ready to reassemble the interior of my early production(sept 66) Marlboro Maroon 67 roadster with dark saddle interior. The anomaly is that the entire dash, including the door post tabs, are painted dark saddle. I have owned the car since 1969 and that was the paint color of the dash taps when I bought the car. The dash is out of the car and I have inspected closely. There is no evidence of Marlboro Maroon paint on the tabs or that the dash had been repainted before I bought the car.
My dilemma is whether to repaint the entire dash dark saddle and try to convince judges that that is the way it was from the factory or to follow the overwhelming concensus of opinions, which is that the dash tabs were painted the body color when the interior color is different.
It is decission time for me and I am vacillating on what to do.
I would appreciate comments and suggestions.
Thanks
