It was decently warm today so I drug it out. It started suprisingly well considering it sat for 5 months. I changed the oil and gave it a bath.
Looks allright from 20 feet. Best part about driving this thing is the doubletakes that some people do as they go by.

When you're up close you see details....like door dings...and it has a few bad spots in the A pillars... road rash in the leading edge of the hood..... The paint is almost 22 years old so its showing its age. I'm picky because I remember what it was like when it was new.

It looks great. I am a little wierd because I like a driven car with some imperfections or really old cracked paint. Patina rules . You have a very nice car. The double takes are really cool too, I think we all enjoy them

Mad_Max, I really like the set of wheels that you have on your car. I have a red 66 coupe similar to yours and am looking at new wheels and I would love to know what you have. I think they are Cragers...

 

[Mad_Max]

Yep, plain 'ol 14x6 Cragar S/S.

My truck was painted in late '86,and it's the same way. It looks AWESOME from the road,but not quite as good up close.

Your car looks fine to me. I sure do miss my deuce.

There's definitely something to be said for a car that gets driven and has 22 year old paint that looks that good. You'd get way more kudos from me than some guy with tens of thousands worth of paint into their car. Thumbs up and a double take too!

 

[orest402]

Looking good from 20' ?

Looks allright from 20 feet ?

Are you using a good measuring tape...that car looks great from any distance...one of my favorite year models....Had a '66 and '67 and wish I still had one...Nice Car.....GREAT COLOR...........:yes:

 

[TomM]
