Couldn't resist the siren's call any longer. Car is now in Seattle. Driven nonstop this past Sunday from Vancouver 150 miles with no real issues. Boy these things drive nice.

Look for my upcoming posts in the restoration/discussion threads asking about which modern paint formulas best approximate the code M-M Aztec Bronze, and also if anyone knows if any of the seat cover outfits have setup for '66 Caprice bucket interiors in Bronze (these were nicely redone in a close-but-no-cigar reddish deep burgandy years ago).

Thanks Rainer. (I will send pics after its painted!)

Cool Tom! That was a tempting cruiser at that price. The 396 is the icing on the cake. Ask kwhizz about big-car seat covers. I think he has recent experience with that as he restored his '66 Biscayne.
