I have some photo's of the same car. I was certain the car was black but these B&W photo's are tricky. Anyone wish to add their opinion.
The car is apparently ruby red. It is the same car you see with the lab Technicians standing beside tinkering with the engine. The prototype car prior to being modified, sans single headlight and interior.
Looking at the wheel arches on the color photo from Jim Schilds book the interior is to be Tan, but interestingly the upper door frames are painted red. This would surely narrow down the search.
17 red cars, 2 with red interior. At a guess it would be the first red car released, early January.

What a teenage flashback I'm having!!!
I do not remember ever seeing that car run as an AWB with the hood on it.
Two toned and primer for years and then blue sometime in the early 70's.

Are those doors of the thin gauge steel A990's or the Aluminum A-864 variety?

"That is Sanford's '64 light weight. The door is from the same car before he altered the wheelbase and put the fiberglass doors on it.
I put the steel doors and spoked front wheels on it before I got the red car. Sanford's alias is "Sleepyhead"."
