Don't care for Ermine white with Saddle tan guts, eh?
Butt ugly?
Hummm.
It appeals to me. I think its gorgeous.
I must be completely insane?
That rug is not red. It's tan.
Thanks for posting.

It took me a while to get used to my red/red split window. This would take a lot longer.

I don't think there's any Red in the interior, it's saddle. That saddle in/white out kinda goes with the AC car, I think like dplotkin said, it's got that luxury 60s touring look. Loaded with power everything, I assume the seats are leather, saddle being the only color they came in.
I'm going to that Mecum event, so I'll look closely.
Frankie, it would not take me long to get used to Red/red.

Hopefully Mikelj will chime in with a couple gut shots of his 64 white/saddle tan leather FI, Tanker, J56 coupe. If anyone can show me a more gorgeous looking inside of a mid year coupe, I would like to see him try.
Mike, where you at?

Looks like the whole right front corner needs some work on it. I like the rest of the car whatever color it is.

Love the rally theme, especially the dash mounted stop watches!! Where'd you find those?....The last set I saw in good condition was well over $2K!!

Go look at some of the higher end vehicles today...you will see many saddle/maroon accented interiors...much richer and elegant looking than black, gray, white that's for sure...

Ha! Those were installed in June, 1964, by the original owner, who took it racing. It used to have an oil temperature gauge in the glove box door, and also still has the air temp gauge below the clock in the middle. The original owner also bought a set of Goodyear Blue Streaks to replace the original whitewalls it came with when it was delivered. The chronometers still work, as they did when the car was raced and did time trials at Bonneville, hit a top speed of 154+, it has a 3.08 rear end ratio too.
