Here is the plan.

She like (pp code- Evening Orchid). This color was only offered in 1965.

So it's going Evening Orchid with a 67 fawn interior and Boyd Cottington twisted wheels. Oh....I already bought a 400 small block for her.

Here is quick photoshop of my car done in those colors and wheels:

Here is another sedan I found on the net in this color.

Hey Funky, did I miss a thread at Steves about your color change? (I like it a lot though)

Damn Funky, you needed another car didn't you? :D ;)

Nice find. I take it someone started the project and lost interest/couldn't finish it?

What kind of steering wheel is that? Something about the center look different....and did 66's have that s shaped shifter?

And what movie was it I saw where there was a 65 or so Corvette painted the very same color? Guy in the movie asked his friend "What did you do? Paint it with nail polish?"

The steering wheel is a factory 1967 100-series sedan steering wheel and the shifter is also factory. Look at the pic above when I still had the factory shifter in my 66. So...67 had a bent column shifter and 66 had a straight column shifter. The steering wheels where also different from 66 to 67 sedans.

Here was my 66 before I changed the shifter to the floor.

How touching. To show my wife how much I love her I plan on checking out and hopefully purchasing another 69 SS396/350 h.p. If it does not work out, I'll buy her that new air compressor she's been dreaming about. LOL. Nice car.

Considering how nice your car is, I'm sure your wife's car will be a looker as well. The new car looks like a great starting place. Keep us updated. Daren
