I wonder how much money was put into this car.Must have been a small fortune .Makes me wonder what it looked like before it was refurbished .I find this car interesting but approach it with caution.Many unanswered questions .I would spray over the red inserts on the road wheels to argent silver .I never liked wheels with the same body color on them .Overall an interesting car.Wonder what it will go for. I do like the fact it has a sunroof.A plus for me

That’s a nice looking car, interesting color. Fender tag is special order. I wonder what the colors called.

I know I laugh at some of these repair bills we see on the 'net $200 for a carb kit?
Other charges... oh well it is in California...
Transmission Flush: $277.73, $18.76 Gasket
Oil Pan gasket set: $26.91
$356.50 labor for passenger door window repair. I don't see anywhere on the number/quantity of hours spent on all these jobs on any of the invoices but their labor rate has to be well over $100 an hour.

This picture should answer your question... Fire Engine Red!
I know years ago a friend of mine bought a new Ford F250 that was Fire Engine Red and he was quite proud of the truck, I only asked him when I first saw the truck "What did the Fire Chief in your city cancel his truck order"?

My local garage quoted my wife $500.00 to change plugs and wires on a 2005 Buick V6. We dropped them from doing any work.I know I laugh at some of these repair bills we see on the 'net $200 for a carb kit?

This car may have been here before, see this thread. It had 25k miles on the odometer back then. Somewhere in the text it says: "This New Yorker was also ordered with special Red exterior paint".

the only difference I see is the pin striping and the interior - cloth on the former vs vinyl or leather on the latter.

Those differences may have been introduced on the present owner's watch. The BAT text goes:
"The seller acquired the vehicle in 2021, and subsequent work involved reupholstering the interior, performing paintwork, applying accent striping..."

Okay!
74/75 Imperial side markers on an NYB...I can understand why...because they are among the most pretty marker lights ever made, but it's just so "off"...
75-77 Grille on a 78, but they didn't go the extra mile of swapping the bumper vent inserts. Again looks "off".
