Speaking of color, Shaun 69E...
How about posting a picture of your Velvet Green 69S Targa!!!
That is very unusual
Hey Bryce, got your PM. The car is currently in old, black paint (and a lot of rust!) but here is what it looks like inside one of the headlight buckets. A lot of blue in the green. Has a linen interior too. I think Velvet Green was a 67 color, this car was definitely special ordered.
Enjoy!

Thanks, bucket is tucked away. Inside also has some paint on the rear deck. Restoring the car will be a long long long process, but worth it. I'm fairly sure it's the only car ever made with it's specs, Velvet Green over Linen, so say nothing of it having a hydropneumatic front end. Been collecting those.

Shaun,
Great stuff there.
And factory a/c... very rare.
Your rear decklid...
Is it aluminum?
It's not, and most of the underside of it was completely, and I mean completely rusted away. The car sat in a field in TX for 20 years, but it's 100% complete. I flew down and loaded it in the back of moving truck and drove back. There's very little holding the front and rear together so didn't want a hauler to damage it. Still, the doors shut with a factory ring.
I'm not sure if 3-bar decklids were made in Al, do you know? I've got 2 nice ones, both steel. The dash will be an issue in a few years.
