I have a 68 400 4 speed coupe (base 400, not a H.O. or ram air) that is being restored to factory original. I need help with a few details.
1) My car has the custom interior and thus came with the custom pedal trim plates. What should the brake pedal trim plate look like? My car has disk brakes (not power assisted) and I'm not sure if the custom pedal trim has a 'disk brake' logo in the center or not. Is the custom pedal trim simply a chrome accent around the brake pad?
2) Regarding the chrome exhaust extensions, would they be single tip or split tip? I've only seen split tip extensions on a 67.
3) My car has a turquoise interior. What colour should the rear speaker grate be, black or turquoise?
My car also has turquise int.I think it's called teal it's the old shade because there's a new shade out today.Actually if your int. is the same color as mine and I think it is, it's a combo of diff. shades can't remember them all but the dash is allucian blue,with the other panels being something else but when your in the car you can't tell the diff..My rear speaker panel is teal,I also have fac. disc and the pedal does'nt say "disc" Now I think that's the way it came from the factory but I'm not 100% sure.
I'm with Doug. According to some information I have for 1968, the interior colors (Laguna Dark Turquoise #13557) were used on:
- Upper instrument panel including Radio Speaker Grille, intrument panel bezel pad, Package shelf and valence.
- Compartment front panel or back window garnish lower.
- Compartment front panel, back window corner escutcheons, rear window defogger grille, rear auxiliary speaker grille assembly.
It lists these items as flat colors "O" gloss. There is an additional list of gloss colors items. The radio speaker grille (rear) is also listed on the gloss colors list.
My car is a '67 with factory front discs. I also don't have the "disc" on the pedal and it has a chrome trim plate around the pad. Not sure about the exhaust. All my pictures and original ads are for a '67.
