I think I am going to use my xtra '68 black deluxe seats and fold-down rear that I have lying around. Switch to black deluxe interior. Considering a 400 4-spd clone. Shouldn't be too tough a switch. Have an xtra set of bird glass now too. I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.

This car spent most of the last 28 years in a dark garage. Chrome is perfect. Header chrome looks like new. Better than my 400 vert. Set of 5 JC rims too. Sent for PHS today too. I'll email more pix tomorrow. I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.

Maybe the Mariner Turqoise would look better on the 'vert with the white top and the black interior. Anyone have nice pictures of '68 Aleutian Blue on a coupe? That's the original color of my 400 coupe. It's a VERY dark blue. Almost black. I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.
