The original 383 was very tired so it and the trans are rebuilt. A friend of mine owns a quality upholstery shop and will do the seats and install headliner. Nearly everything on this one is worn out but I've been wanting one for 25 years so I shopped for 3 years and this was the only one I could afford that wasn't a total rust bucket. At the time there was a #1 condition white one in St Louis for $36,500. I'll be alright on this one when done. Lately I've seen a few Fireflite coupes going for $17-25K depending on condition of #2-3. There was a red one in Canada last year that was sold for high teens and was a good deal.
Original colors are Willow green roof over Cypress green body and that's how it'll go back. I never want green cars but this is the 6th one I've owned so they must like me.
When this one's done I'll be looking for a slab sided hardtop for cruising and enjoying rather than working on all the time.
