Gentlemen, If I may direct you attention to the open door jam in the second picture it appears to be Cortez Silver ...... m

This is an awesome story. I also did notice the silver door jam before it was mentioned but thought that it might just be the picture or the sun shining on the car. if you look closely it could look like that closer to the door pannels in the jams it looks Gobi Beige? Just another thought.

Looking at the original picture, I can not tell for sure what color the door jamb is. It does look lighter than the blue but the sun shining on the back of the trunk lid does the same thing This question will be asked.

I forgot to put it in the previous post about the trans. It was a four speed when Jerry got it and that was the way he sold it.

The car in the color photos looks Le Mans Blue . . . Was that an option for a Deuce ?? Fathom blue is a very dark blue.

No LeMans blue on Deuces, but I agree that door edge does look silver. It could be the sunlight like Frank suggests, but the edge on the inside of the weatherstrip sure looks silver too and I don't think the light is hitting it there enough to give that appearance. Judging by the amount of paintwork on the rest of the car, it's very possible it got an entire exterior color change, less jambs, which would be just fine on a drag car back in the day. Could be the same car in the pics Steve posted, with a repaint. That may explain the off color of blue as well. That's the best explaination I can come up with. Marlin must be out doing his holiday shopping, he should be all over this thread.

I'm gonna agree with lil bro... That sure looks like silver paint in the door jamb, and the blue is definitely not fathom blue, which was the only blue a Deuce coulda came in... so its definitely a total repaint. Looking at the USA-1 plate on the rear of the silver car 68l30 posted, and seeing it on the blue car as well, my guess is that this could VERY well be the same car... the pics 68l30 has being of the car fresh from the showroom, and the blue paint job came a little later... Whatdaya think? Its a good theory anyhow.
