Does anyone know of the "correct" paint code/type of paint for Vineyard Green?
And where to get in lovely California?

CSX2367 was repainted to Highlander Green, a Lincoln color, in 1964 to fulfill an order for a green Cobra from Gotham Ford.   Highlander Green is available in most chemistries from the usual suppliers.You cannot view this attachment.

Beautiful car!  Hey Little Cobra...
"Low she sits on five spoke wheels
Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

The difficulty with "Vineyard Green" is the same as for "Bright Blue" which is that both were colors that were part of the AC Cars palette but had no corresponding color in the Ford paint catalog. When a paint repair was required for these colors, it generally required a custom-mixed paint to match it as closely as possible. I know that some folks have since found the appropriate codes for these colors and can obtain them from England, but an alternative is to find something close that is  more readily available in the thought that no one will actually recognize any faint difference that may exist.
