It's oyster. I didn't want to stray too far from original as I'm a bit of a purist and she's got matching numbers on her engine and 4speed.

can't post any pics of the exterior yet because she's not grey yet, but I restored the interior to go along with the paint job I have in my head. Gunmetal or charcoal grey with the scoop and stinger on the hood as a matte or satin black. Here are a couple interior pics:

I`m a "stock" kinda guy, I like the way it looked when it rolled off the assembly line. Mods are OK, but not really what I would go for on my car.
Having said that.... THIS is friggin SWEET!
Those wheels & gas cap make it! NICE ride!

Agreed! Very impressive!

Ignatz and Muzkguy, your cars look outstanding. As a recent restorer (first vette) I can really appreciate the finish and panel fitments on both your cars. I just finished the paint/bodywork on a ´68 vert in silver (2005 VW Reflex Silver). Pics like this are my inspiration....

Very nice!
