No not original colors. It was a white car to begin life. I got it and cleaned up some rust spots and removed and filled the badge holes etc.. I then put it in a coat of black epoxy primer. ( which it still is in)
The car is going to get a 2 tone job. The enginebay and topp of the car are going to be a PPG Brilliant orange. Similar to the 350Z and Honda VTX cruiser bike color. The bottom half of the car is getting a gloss black( On the fence about throwing some small copper flake in it as well)

Hopefully I will spray the enginebay tomorrow. I still need to wetsand the primer down tonight or tomorrow morning. Then it is ready for color and clear. The wheel wells are going to get a truck bed coating or a rubberized undercoat of some sort. As will the entire underside of the car eventually.

I just got back from a buddies house 20 minutes ago with the GSL disc brake LSD rear end that is getting put in. As well yesterday I got the full RE-Speed(energy suspension) bushing kit. Installing those bits as well next week if all goes well.
