Very strange! As I know csx 2058 (#58 built)(260cid) was Brit Green. It was one of only two 260 AC's with the louvered hood option. If it was repainted. Some one took the original paint all the way down to the bondo coat before painting it Brit Green. During the time I was around 2058 in the later 60's, early 70's, there were paint chips going all the way down to the bondo coat. There was no other original color showing other than a primer base. Red if I remember. I do remember 2058 had a factory installed one gallon peach can cut to form an air duct under the hood to the cockpit.
