Hmm,
It is not [or used to be] virgin Mary blue? Don't recall the original name for that color. I had such a one, ordered while I was in Vietnam. And then decided not to extend, though I was enjoying my work in the 101st Abn - I wanted to pick it up at the importer and DRIVE. Did so in May '68. Wish I still knew the serial #.
It went back to Europe '69-71, and I sold it in Kentucky when at Ft Knox, and I fell badly in love with a 911E Targa which I still have. I had the soft window zipper replaced under warranty, so the zipper on mine was visibly not original. The original zipper's teeth had square tips; the replacement was more like a helix.
Be sure to check for rust in the usual places - in '68 nothing was zinked yet.
