Is this a stock color for 1966 ?  Maybe the camera or web skewed the color ? 
It looks almost BRG ?

Charles, I would say no, this is not a stock color for 1966. Willow green looks lighter and more flake & cypress green is too dark & less flake. At least to my eyes. Of course, trying to judge paint colors like this is impossible. 

My concerns with the car is " untouched original " looks like it has been a hard life, " painted chevy green " he doesn't say what Chevy green or what year, " rust starting on LH back pillar ". OK, I have seen the lead joint get rust under them, but above that it looks funny. Bondo maybe? 

The over all condition of the paint looks cheap or a real quickie. Inside of the doors are white and I see green over spray in the trunk. All the ear marks of a cheap quick job. 

This car will need a complete repaint with body work, so is it important if this is a stock color for 1966? If you are concerned as to what a stock green looks like, check out the online color chips.
