White or red 1969 squareback

Hello veedubers.

Does anyone have any history on this squareback?

Stick the neck out and say '69 wasn't a year when red was a colour used on many cars ..... I was 16yo and don't recall many red BUT as for white it was there 😎

A question then a picture is a BIG ask if anyone know something 🤖

I know not many cars came out with red paint in the 60s but it was white and I'm trying to see if anyone knows of the history. it was a priest's car and came from around mount Isa in Queensland. I think it went for a dip in a river aswell .

A tafe in queensland painted it red
