It was originally Verdoro Green, which I do like a lot. Buy I also like the color of my old hardtop. I think it was called Aleutian Blue. A rare color yet our 1968 Buick LaSabre was the same color. Hard to believe but true. I had two cars that color and have never seen it on anything else. But some rubberhead rattle-canned some black paint on the convertible and it has to go. I totally suck at bodywork and paint but I have a great shop that has done some terrific jobs for us over the years. I have to see if he does convertible tops because mine is original and shot. If he does I may give him the whole job. I hear many horror stories about tops botched by crummy shops. I have never done one but I am always willing to learn new stuff. My top was power but nothing worked. You may want to keep yours manual. I think the power mechanism will all back-fit but don't quote me on that. Ask on here because when I was searching for info I kept getting directed to threads from these guys. The parts are very available but expensive. As for the power seat I do believe it was an option but it is very rare. I like to use the 1991-96 version I scavenge from GM big cars. I am using them in my 1983 G-body, my 2005 Sunfire, I had one in my 1977 Trans Am, and we just got one we will be putting in a friend's 1980 TA. Most if not all GM seats will bolt right on. But oddly, the stock 1968 Firebird buckets do not so you would need a 1968 power base to work with them I guess. I never liked the stock buckets, even with the headrests. I have been saving a set of ultra comfortable Recarro seats I got from a Corvette many moons go. Test fitting revealed the steering wheel will hit my legs getting in and out so that is why I am trying to get the tilt wheel going. The tilt and power seat in my TA was so comfortable I saved them when I cut the car up. Here is the power top in working order: The top works!
