Restoration / Early Interior Color / Grille Color advice
« on: August 09, 2016, 06:23:38 PM »
Brief history:
Hello, New here, but have been researching and researching for weeks, as our new '68 Convertible landed in our lap recently. I owned a '68 coupe 20 years ago and sold it after a year, gotta do what you gotta do sometimes; only to be constantly seeking the right one... and I think it found us. It's a survivor, save being repainted in 1984, the driver's seat cover being done (wrong color-bright white), and possibly the grille being replaced at some point. (?? it's green plastic and has no emblem on it). I have, in the past week, put new tires and I painted the rally wheels.
Getting down to it. It's an 03D car (Assembled 4th week of March, 1968). Interior code 730(Parchment White Custom interior w/ Black), and Paint code U1(LeMans Blue with White Convertible Top).
1) How can I find the right color seat cover(s) to get everything matching
2) With all the back and forth...being my car was built in March of '68, should the grill really have argent silver lateral with a satin black framing, or should the whole thing be argent silver?
THANKS FOR YOUR INPUT!!!!! Couldn't be more excited!!!!
