General Information
I was a happy camper with my 69 300 convertible, but when I found a 4 speed for sale, I had to have it. A plane ride to Oakland to see the car sealed the deal. After seeing the car I knew that the gold with gold/black interior was not for me. I knew immediately that the car needed a white interior and first thought was a burgundy metallic exterior. Good enough for me, so I had it shipped home, repaired the mechanical issues and used it that summer. After the end of the season, I started to disassemble her and toyed with various colours. Burgundy, then the spring special yellow, then daytona orange. After seeing a picture of a 65 300 in turquoise I knew that was the right choice. I picked up a New Yorker for the extra parts I needed (including the clear tail lights and the 413 to replace the 67 440 that was in the car). Due to a move to a new home, the process took me 6 years. It probably still wouldn't be done if it wasn't for two of my children who asked me if it would be ready for their weddings. The push was on and I made it except for a few minor details.
