Can not find original color of my 62. Presently roman red. Only clue is the trunk and mat is black. What are the odds the car was orig black. Any clues how to determine color.

As you prob know the color was written in crayon on the bulkhead behind the driver's seat and can sometimes be uncovered by rubbing with a coin or the like but not always. See this recent thread:

Besides the trunk crayon tip, here are some photos of areas you might try to look at. As you can see from the last photo, I got my car which had been previously striped by previous owner. In certain areas I could see layering which went from bare fiber glass to a dark primer(?) to red (in the trunk and interior) to blue (interior areas) to black (console and probably repaint) to green (a repaint) to some silver (on my trunk towers). Of interest to me is the writing on the driver pillar which I think is "40"? Good Luck
