I like the color myself, I would be tempted to clean up some of the easy stuff, IE shifter, distributor, wires and coil, radiator cap, decals, and the such, good luck with the dash pad, A friend of mine has bean trying to sell a 66 belvedere convert 4 speed, that has had a high detail restoration, he can't seem to pull the 2005 money out of this car as nice as it is, I see nothing wrong with painting the exterior of the car, paint match shouldn't be that big an issue, unless the car has a race history that can be documented, I would make it look as original as possable, "COOL CAR" either way

I too like the color. I am not a fan of green but the turquoise is really more of a blue-green, and I LOVE blue.
Those are personal taste and race specific item. In fact, I bought and installed the pistol grip shifter for the car for myself as it is the most race/shift friendly shifter I have ever used.
I rebuilt this car with the intentions of racing it in a stock NHRA class thinking I could get away without having to install a roll bar. That has turned out not to be the case, and street racing is just to expensive if you get caught today. So with this in mind I just can't bring myself to put a roll bar in this car, so it is for sale.
I have one of the original crappy Inland shifters for the car that goes with it if someone wants to re-install it. The distributor and wires are not that big of a deal regarding cost. I truely believe that anyone that wants to buy this car will want to race it and will be satisfied with it as is with regards to these things. Maybe I am wrong. However when I look at a car that has something I would want changed I simply factor the cost of it into my offer. I also have the original hub caps, an extra hood, and a fiberglass Hemi hood scoop that will go with the car as well.
This car would make a great F.A.S.T. car with factory exhaust manifolds rather than the headers.
