The color on the light comes from a green cover that fits over the light bulb. When the bulb went out on the shifter I noticed that it has a green cover on it too.

Guess you could take the green cover off the shifter light and put it on the tach light if you wanted.\r\n\r\nI know the person I purchased the car from said he had some touchup work done on the paint, but I do not know if the car is original paint or is a repaint. The paint looks very good but it's not a concourse quality paint job. It looks original to me, but if you want it to look concourse then you would want to repaint the car.\r\n\r\nThe seals stopped 99% of the leaks. I still get a few drops once in a while but not enough for me to deal with. No major leaks that I'm aware of.

Once all the seals were replaced and a new transmission pan gasket installed, my mechanic didn't think it needed the rear main seal done. \r\n\r\nThe transmission works fine.
