The next one for me is going to be a custom job rather than a restoration...probably something along the lines of a GT500 clone. I've been archiving a 428cj from a wrecked Torino and a 4sp toploader. Someday I'll actually have the time to put those parts to use...sigh. Cheers, |

Original color poppy or signalflare red? Is it black right now with blue
fenders/doors? Got a wrinkled roof like some kids walked on it? -- Mark -- "I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates who once said, "I drank what?". " Val Kilmer in Real Genius. |

Nope. Was originally Caspian Blue w/black standard, A Code, C4, no
AC, AM radio, oem console, stock dual exhaust, disc front/drum rear.... but never been seriously wrecked... or walked on : ). When I got it, the engine was in pieces in the well, the disc brakes had been removed and put on a different car, the right front fender was gone, the left front fender was beige, the grill was all missing... but the interior was pretty choice. : ) Now it's all as it should be.... like new... with a few light mods. Sitting here at home, I have a closet full of assorted pieces parts to add (stereo, overflow tank, halogen lighting, etc) as soon as I can get it here. Why? Are you missing one? I could send you a picture... a complete photo record of the restoration was maintained. In 1970, I returned from Vietnam and bought a 65 FB 289 2V, C4, AM radio, poppy yellow. In 1971, I sold it to an uncle in Los Molinos (a 2 horse town north of Chico and south of red Bluff). He never registered it as far as I know. It just sat in the drive with chickens running through it. Last I heard, one of my cousins has fixed it back up. Doubt it's the same color today. Poppy yellow wasn't exactly a hot color then, and it went down from there. On Wed, 20 Jul 2005 09:41:47 -0700, "Mark C." > wrote: >Original color poppy or signalflare red?

Ok, I was just wondering if it was one I sold.

If I did, I'd buy it back. ~

My first 65 FB cost me $1000 plus $69 finance charges back in 1970
Tacoma, WA. I sold it for $500 to pay for airfare to Japan to get married. My cousin wouldn't sell it back for $10,000. This one, so far, will have cost somewhere around $30,000 by the time I'm "finished". Thing is, you rarely know when you have a vehicle, what it will be worth 35 years later, or that you'll want it then.
