Yeah, it's the same color as Jerry's car. It'll be the same color. Reef Turquoise with Teal Turquoise steel wheels. I think Jerry's car has the same KKL paint code...add some dog dish caps, and you really couldn't tell them apart. Only difference being I don't have stainless window trim.
It was a 2bbl A/T with 2.41 peg leg when I bought it. I am making a sleeper out of it. 455 .030 over, 4 speed, 3.42 saf-t-track with correct 14-inch wheels. I've added a beefier front stabilizer bar, new springs, and KYB shocks to make it tight.
The 455 will have long branch headers from RARE, and a modified 750 cfm Carter AFB 4760.
I've added some other goodies too: factory tach, rally gauges, am/fm (delete plate would be more appropriate, but I gotta have tunes), and the rare in dash vacuum gauge (Canada only). I'm going with the bench seat, so I also have a somewhat rare bench seat stick for the Hurst shifter.
I have damn near all the parts to get it there, but no time and not quite enough money to finish it...body and paint will be the last and most expensive hurdle.
I need to add a current pic, so check back!
