I'd say, if nothing else, the guy you bought it from is one HECK of a salesman.

That car is blue.

Looks great. I wonder what percentage of 68s are verdoro? I'm guessing 50%.

Mike, thanks for sharing what you paid for the car. So many people never want to share that.
Looks like you did good. Does the car run and drive? Sure is fun finding a car that has been tucked away for so long!

To be honest it should not be driven. It will come strait apart after a cleaning and picture log is taken. I'll share the resto with you guys.
I'm struggling with the color. How bad would it hurt value to change the color?
