Man that's gorgeous! Not crazy about the seats but they look well done. The top needs to be silver like the rest of the car or black vinyl. Unusual in a 4 spd but he neglected to take a pic of that jewelry. Slightly over priced. I want to see more of it but not enough to inquire myself.

I think the seats look very well done for non orig style........i wonder if that is vinyl or leather? If that was a orig 413/4 spd i'd have looked ta it already, but i wouldn't think it is - a 4 spd with overdrive, and non console? must be a converted automatic.

Nice car. I'm not crazy about the seats.

Good looking car. I actually like the color combo myself. The seats however are not my cup of tea either. Not a fan of torq thrust II's on the slabsides.....they look like too modern of a wheel. OG Torq Thrusts would have looked better.

I could live with that interior if it was an original 4 speed but since he says 4 speed overdrive, it sounds like a conversion...

Mine is an original non-console/buddy seat car.

REALLY?.........

Now i'm interested in that pittsburgh car.......gonig to ask for more pics

 

[commando1]

YES! Don't rule it out yet. It certainly deserves a follow up.
Since it says "4 speed with overdrive" he may have simply swapped in a mid 70's A833 since he has 3.91 rear end gears. That would be a smart choice.
And again, I could live with those seats. It's kind of "correct" for mid-sixties.

Pics of the transmission hump, shifter and steering column to find out more could help.

You're killing me! Those are god-aweful!

If it's a factory four speed, those kind of things distort my good judgement sometimes.
I'd compliment those seats with a pair of fuzzy dice and make no excuses. LOL

 

[cm23uoc]

Actually a very typical pattern with Italian sports cars of these years.

Well if that's the case I guess I'll change mine.

Those might work with a pair of fuzzy dice.

I wouldn't do it if I were you , even though this ISO Grifo is also US v8-powered, but from Corvette.

 

[mdh157]

no go. here's the response I got:
"The car was indeed a floor shift automatic previously. It has a column shift column in it due to color. There is one small hole at the extreme rear of the trunk, other than that, all good. Would you like to come look at it? Where would you be coming from? I can take other pictures but they won't show you anything that these ones don't."

so the car has a 4 spd manual/od on the column? and WTF is this 'i can take other pics but they won't show..... - so they are incapable of taking pics of the engine, instrument panel, trunk interior and underside.

 

[Fratzog]

WTF why mess with a perfectly good auto console car?

 

[Big_John]

The seats are OK, but the wheels suck.

Is it primer or just bad paint?

 

[cm23uoc]

My guess would be faded silver.
The additional info explains why the seller was a bit shy about interior pics. Maybe someone shows up without asking for further info and when he's there chances are better it actually gets sold.
