Perhaps the problem is that there wasn't a light green interior option in 1970. If your cars interior is actually light green, it could have come from anywhere.

The only 1970 green interior available......

I thought of that to but interior looks to be original and everything matches including dash, steering colum, and door panels

Perhaps a picture of your interior would help. Did your car sit in the Sahara with the T-Tops off, is it just faded?

But he's right. If its light green it is probably faded. The last 15 years are only 15 of its 45 year life. My blue interior in my 70 was so faded the carpet looked white.

Pics of the inside and maybe the codes from the trim tag would go a long way to solving the mystery.
