Hello Tim,

There were several different colors available in 1965 that went with the 
saddle interior.  I just sold a '65 Corsa project car that had a saddle 
interior and factory gold color paint: Sierra Tan Poly (poly = 
metallic).  I have seen other '65's with saddle interiors that were painted 
Willow Green Poly (gray-green), Cypress Green Poly (olive green), and a 
maroon (not sure if this was stock).  Try checking the PPG web site:

for scanned images of their original color charts.

BTW: the project car had a [dealer?] painted black roof at what looked to 
be 60% gloss, as if it were two-tone. This really sets the car apart.  The 
Fisher body tag was stamped S-S so this was not how it came from the factory.
