bobD-
that is one sweet ride! I think those colors go very well together. I have an unrestored '70 Conv. It is originally black and black but I am not a fan of black. I have been planning on restoring it with Mint Turquiose paint and either black or Sandalwood int.
thanks for sharing the pics.

Steve,

Thanks for the kind words. Still loking for a set of chrome wheel well mouldings to finish off the look. I think either the black or sandlewood interior would look good with this color.

Great web site. I'll be spending more time looking at it. Thanks!

I bought the car in '86 and when i got it home,i looked in the glove box and there was the original owners manual and some of the purchase info.The car was shipped to a maine dealer when new.So i called information to see if the original owner still was around and they still lived in that town.So i called and they were surprised the car was still around and they loved that car.They said theyd look through some photo albums for a pic and they sent me this pic.When i found it it was still in the same town that it was shipped to originally.I didnt even know it was a 455 when i bought it,then i did some research to find out it was a # matching 455,with a # matching m21 and original rear.The front shocks are the spiral type still so they might original also.My goal is to put it back to mint tur. and the stripe.

I guess so,lol.When i bought mine in 86,the guy i bought it off had just painted white from the original mint paint.I didnt like that and had it painted cardinal red with white gto stickers.Now i plan on the mint.t paint with the black stickers and find out which color combo (code722)stripe is supposed to be on it.I guess there was only 171 455/4sp to come out of oshawa,of that i dought many were mint.t.And yours being a judge with that color would be pretty rare.Illl put up a pic of my car now as soon as get the dig. camera out.Pete mccarthy sent me a bunch of info like this along time ago,ive got it somewhere.Mine still has the original light brown interior(255 code??),no floor console,power steering and power brakes.
