Key Lime?.....Pie maybe

LIME GREEN.....well maybe but not with the current interior color. At some point the car was painted Burgundy and the interior was replaced with Burgundy/plum seats from possibly a late 70's early 80's full size??
The door panels appears to have been painted with some white showing
through where its been scuffed. Looks like going with black interior and a clean slate for the exterior....decisions. Thanks for the help deciphering!

I'm sure I am wrong but I read the A code as white top not black? Referance 1971 Oldsmobile chassis service manuel.
