No style trim James, it's an X44 car. Previous owner added the trim which does look good!

I procrastinated so long making the decision to restore due to the fact that it did look great in black and the magazine article shows it in black as well. The deciding factor: the black paint was starting to act up & I already had an original 723 code interior so what the heck. I had a '69 Impala SS427 L72 the exact same color and thought it looked pretty good. As noted, it will be different at least.

Frost green/green interior will look very sharp.

Sammy inquired about who is doing the restorarion. At the last super Car Reunion I hung out with Doug Perry and Dave McGafee and learned a lot about COPOs. when I decided to restore my car I contacted Doug for suggestions and he recommended Dave, owner of Bowtie Performance and Restoration in Grove city, OH. Dave has restored a number of COPOs for Doug and, after watching Dave in action, felt like he would be the guy for the job. He is very knowledgeable and a heck of a guy, as is Doug.

Good deal Joe. Keep the pictures coming! Again, that to me is a killer color combo!
