Absolutely. Gong to try to get it registered/titled next week. Since it is a New York state car and they don't have titles for cars earlier than 1972, it transfers on the registration only. But since some states don't like that, I want to make the sale as easy as possible for the next owner.

Yep, I learned about the NY transferable registration with the '66 Buick I bought recently. I have enough trouble with the CA DMV, I expect more issues due to that.

Forgot to mention regarding the spark plug gap, this was the first older GM car I've owned that called for .040 gap that I can remember.

Plus we are dealing with power of attorney documents so that adds an entirely new level of added bureaucracy to the process.

Got some nice shots today on my way to the local cruise night. The sheet metal on this car is amazingly straight.

Very nice looking car! I think it would benefit from having the grilles and taillight lenses put back to silver.

That's another thing I just learned (from you). I'll have to start looking at reference photos. Is it a textured argent or just silver? (got an example?)

[grantprix]

I'd call it an argent silver, dull/flat. Here's the thread on the survivor I had, a good reference car for you.

WOW! Very cool and same color too!. Now I have to run out and check for a broadcast sheet in the back seat!

[njsteve]

No sheet visible but since it's a convertible, there's a lot of bulkhead blocking the view and the cushion is much farther in under that convertible top well. Any other locations to check for one?
