Plymouth called it T7, or (saddle bronze metallic)
A brown hotrod.... only me right?
It's the original color code for the car, T7 with a white vinyl top.
And since I've discovered that the car still has it's original engine, trans, drive train etc (serialized), I feel obligated to put it back to original. Well, except for the wheels and tires and any sneaky minor bolt on and internal engine mods I might sneak in there.
I've searched for over a year now to try to find a picture of one with T7 bronze and a white vinyl top, I can't find one.
I guess that just tells me it will be a unique and rare combo.
I've been pondering nicknames such as "the rootbeer float"
(brown with a white top)
The bronze metallic will look great after YOU shoot it Dave. And wet sand it. Use big flakes. And flash dry each coat so they don't lie down too far.
It will really sparkle then. Aftermarket wheels and tires then will really set it off. I was never a fan of vinyl tops back in da day. But now they are making a resurgence with collectors. ( probably because so many stripped them off before ..)
with the original decals.. air filter. This will be a great 'bird.
My mother had a 69 in the bright orange ( omaha or hi c? orange ) with a black /black top bench and the matte black hood panels and opening red air scoops. The exhaust note from the 383 4 brl was always a head turner. They towed a pop up scamper to Florida and back with it. Other than lack of AC .. it was cool.
( she only let me drive once or twice. I remember taking it up to about 120 but it was missing to badly to continue... gotta love pre-electronic ignitions..) My brother came home on leave and drag raced it once, IIRC he was beaten by a BB Chevelle automatic as well.
No AC was why she traded it off for a paisley Fury III. It was the bronze / brown with dark brown vinyl paisley seats and top. 4 door
