Beautiful cars! I'd love to have a split window coupe, but they didn't make them in my size.

I am color blind and usually can’t distinguish between Mosport green and silver in a picture depending on the light but it looks like Mosport to me?
I had a 1966 coupe in Mosport with 427/390, 4 speed, A/C, ps, pb, pw, teak, tele, trans ignition, repo KOs and SE. I LOVED that color. Sold it to a guy in Maui in 1993.

My 66 is Silver Pearl. Original color.

The whole car was rebuilt by me.The entire interior includeing the dash
and guages ,carpet seats headliner etc. Suspension, steering, rad,. The paint
was just so so . I spent almost a month trying to get that straightened out.
Now I have won best of show many times with this old paint. Tires ,I run

modern radio that looks stock with 8 speakers. I also added the side
pipes. McJack headers. I guess that is enough info for now.

Your welcome.
I am not much of a picture taker either. Very seldom do I look for a good setting. Most pictures of my cars are taken in my driveway or on the cul-de-sac street in front of my 40 year old house/neighborhood.
