Here is my '69. Originally Verdoro green/Verdoro green. Now Black/Black - old restoration - no records from prior owners. Built engine, headers, TH 400 and really fast.

Don't know. The person I bought it from bought it from the guys who built it. Unfortunately no receipts or info at all. It has an Edelbrock hi rise manifold, 750 Holly & headers. The cam is so aggressive that I have low power brake vacuum. It is very fast and gas mileage is in the single digits (not too high). I'll check rpm at 60 mph this week and ask the forum what the axle ratio us.

You could jack up the car, spin the driveshaft one revolution and count rev's on right rear tire to get the ratio. 3 1/2 turns is roughly 3:55

Finally got the weather to cooperate and was able to pull the tranny, replace the tail shaft seal, new u-joints, and put in the safe-t-trak with 3:55 gears and put some spacers under the coil springs to get rid of the "gasser" look. For the first time in the 30 years I have owned this car it has the correct rear end in it. Sure is fun to drive with a posi. I just noticed the tire marks in the pic, they are not mine.

It's supposed to be Kandybrandywine but the painter cheaped out on me and only put two top coats instead of the five that makes that color. So I don't know what to call it, maybe jerk painter red or cheapass kandybrandywine.
