Seems like a good color combination but the car has some issues.

Panel fitment is bad. The hood, doors, and decklid all need work.

The backup lights do not work.

The top is dirt stained and old. It needs to be replaced.

No smog equipment.

I don't recall seeing any so I will ask....... Did any 67-68 Dark Highland Green Shelby's ever come with Parchment (white) Interior?

No parchment in 1968

Saddle or black only

Every one has their own tastes in color. I don't like Highland green so I took one already painted 15 years earlier and never finished and painted it black(like many know here already). If I get another green 68 Shelby that is not a special enough car i'll paint it black but I wouldn't paint an Acapulco blue car black. Green or Black?

To be clear the official Ford color name for  in 1968 was Highland Green not DHG.

Dark Moss Green was used in 67 Shelby production and Highland Green in 68 . They may look similar but they are two different looking green colors.

Do you guys  think the fact that it stared life as an C-6 auto, hurt it  or help it's value ,or just keep it the same as it was still an auto.

There seem to be a good number of people buying the cars that don't care about matching numbers or things like colors.

Most likely little or no effect at the current time
