What color is that suppose to be? I really don't like to pass judgment on shade/color through pics but that doesn't look like Fathom nor Ralley green?

Dan, the car was Fathom Green as built, and I think it looks odd [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img] in the photos form the Pavilions. Maybe the guys that saw it can comment.

It looked like a very nicely done resto except for the Polyglas tires and no poverty caps. He has the caps but isn't ready to scratch the rims just yet putting them on. I think he said almost all of the interior is orig. I did not think the Fathom green color was off when looking at it but I wasn't looking for it.

FYI, when I saw this car at Doug's place in Columbus the one thing that stood out was the interior, it was dirty but everything was like new, the pebble grain wheel was outstanding too.
Now that you mentioned it Charley, I don't get the polyglass tires... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/sick.gif[/img]

I don't mean to jump on the bandwagon, but now it's just another face in the crowd. It looked so much cooler in ready to race form. Atleast there is some tribute to its past on the plate. I couldn't afford to own so my opinion is just an opinion

Just grateful Doug &amp; Andy had the presence of mind to take those beautiful vibrant photos @ auction a few years ago,before it was restored.
Nothing wrong with restoring a car back to stock,but this one clearly shouldn't have been.

To me, that's like saying Miss California at the Miss America Pageant is &quot;just another face in the crowd.&quot;

Maybe so, but that's one hell of a crowd!

Exactly, it was all there, rust free and unmolested with great paint and great race history with photographs.<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Mr70</div><div class="ubbcode-body">

Should have left it alone!

Another case of the &quot;wrong owner&quot; syndrome.
