Looking for an original 1967 706 interior car
« on: February 08, 2021, 05:53:27 PM »
We are looking for an original survivor car to look at the details of an original 706 interior.

This was for 1967 and it has a mix of black with yellow/gold.

Thanks in advance!

Wow, is this a new discovery ? 707 seems fairly rare, but never even heard of a 706. I now see it listed here at CRG, but didn't notice it before. My White Book doesn't mention it.

We have a few cars with it. Trying to figure out exact details. We have a pretty good idea but want verification.

Interesting color combo. I really like to see cars with unusual combos. Just can't get that nowadays.

Very interesting. I kinda like the 707, but had thought it would look better with the black replacing the gold items. From the CRG description, it sounds like that's basically what the 706 consisted of. Cool, good luck finding an original !!

 (1) Bench seat not available in convertible.     
 (2) Carpet, instrument panel, and steering wheel are black.
 (3) An alternate yellow/black custom interior offered late in the
 model year. No original examples found to date. Most lower interior
 parts were black instead of 707 yellow/gold including: carpet, seat
 backs, kick panels, etc.

I have a few pics of a restored 707 for those wanting to use their imagination of what a 706 looked like. :D

This is from a description from CRG

 (3) An alternate yellow/black custom interior offered late in the
 model year. No original examples found to date. Most lower interior
 parts were black instead of 707 yellow/gold including: carpet, seat
 backs, kick panels, etc.

So is this saying only seats, door panels & decor panels were the only things that were yellow? Maybe how they did it in 1969?...Joe

Looks like last week for 67 build.

Was the dash face gold or black in this car?  It's a little hard to tell for sure.
