Beautiful car.

And that's a BIG trailer. You could land an aircraft on that......

Going through the two tubs of stuff I got with the 2+2 last night and found this. Tag goes back to 1989. Going to try and figure out what was on the left side tag.

That is going to be a gorgeous car. Love the color combo since it is the same as on my '69 Bonneville convertible.
Are in KC or out in California?
My friend Doug in Richmond has a red '66 2+2 coupe. Absolutely gorgeous. It's the one car I'd gladly trade for.
Steve Phillips in Tulsa OK may be able to provide any parts you find that you are needing. Keep us posted with many more pictures.

Here is the story. I live in Kansas City. Liberty, MO actually. I am currently working on a project in Phoenix. I found the car out in LA.

I am considering going to parchment interior to give it more contrast. I may leave the panels and carpet blue and just do the seats.

If it wasnt such a rare car I would consider an exterior color change. I think it would look killer in dark spiral gray with parchment interior.

As these cars get older the available pool of future buyers is inevitably shrinking. Thus I would have to comment that maintaining and enhancing its originality is going to eventually have a lot more appeal to a buyer than a modified car.

If your car is still factory original then why change it? All you are doing is starting a downward spiral of devaluing the car. Sure, if it's already modified and you like that then by all means keep on personalizing it to the way you like it. But we only have to look at the high value auction cars to see that the unmolested originals are the ones that return the highest dollar.

We all say "I'll never sell that car" but without question, one day IT WILL BE SOLD and an original car is always going to be easier to sell than a modified version

Just my opinion anyway

I agree with you on the value issue Heybuck. That is why I would not change the exterior color.

I have a complete new interior kit that came with the car in the original color. If I did do go to parchment I would get another set of seat frames for the parchment. That way I just do a quick swap and presto, I am back to original interior.

That would've been the month sticker.
