    That does look like a nice car - Exc. maybe the dueling exhaust but...

    The dealer emblem placement should make Jason feel better about where he mounted the one on his Aquamist car.
     
  4. Very Nice Car!

    Thanks for sharing Brian...

    Man, that's a pretty sharp car (from the pics anyway).

    Would that be Bittersweet Mist?

    '71 colors I think ... Bittersweet Mist, Burnished Cinnamon, Burnished Copper ...

    The Craigslist ad says copper. So I'm thinking it's Copper Mist. That would be code 65 on the cowl tag.

    I have clicked on the craigslist link at least four times now to scroll through the pictures.
    I like this car.

    Too light to be Burnished Cinnamon and I think too dark for Bittersweet Mist so you're probably correct

    Nothing against the car per se, but interesting the interest expressed here yet your GS (I think it was yours - The '72 350?) @ about the same price and every bit as nice if not more so (as well as Bob's Lime Green '71 GS) took so long to sell. Of course I like green cars so...

    Yep, the ‘72 350 was mine. And it had buckets and console. Thankfully a talented board member bought it and took it to another level.

    Exactly! An actual GS plus the buckets/console (Bob's was bench, but still a GS). Yea, I saw what he'd done (I wouldn't have changed the top color).

    Well, you do love green. I think the white top makes it pop.

    No doubt about that. It would on my Stage 1 too (it came with an uninstalled white top when I got it which I sold) but I couldn't do a color change. I really couldn't imagine it with the green top until I saw that pic I sent of one done in that combo. The factory green tops are always faded and look terrible.
