I rode my first couple of centuries on a Continental back in the mid 70's. Jean shorts, T-shirt.....
My attempt at restoration involved stripping it and taking it to Earl Scheib (home of the $19.95 paint job!). They had no idea how much to charge, so they just kept it around until they had a job with a similar color and sprayed it similar to your green.
Eventually, it became my campus bike and sat outside in the rain and snow. Maybe I need to get another one.
