How much was he asking for it? Inquiring minds want to know.
And thanks for posting these.

$60k if memory serves. Nice car, but that's a lotta bread for seats redone in Naugahyde.

This aftermarket 300 grille for $1500 was hopefully made of actual platinum.

I walked around looking for that thing. Where'd you hide it....

 

[Dan Scully]

I was way at the far end , just pulled into the first spot when I got there.

Is that 70 SFGT FK3 or FK5 or is that red??
@Eric_Stollsteimer looks like your GT has a twin or is that yours

That was my car. It’s FK3, but it was repainted by the previous owner incorrectly. Right now it’s kind of a rose color. Some day I’ll take it back to FK3

Really strange to see this Chrysler wagon with Plymouth tail light assemblies:

I had to do a double take at first. I wonder why a wagon so seeminly well done otherwise would not have the correct ones? Here are some images to show the difference:

The Chrysler version...........

And the Plymouth version........

Canadian version perhaps?

Thank you, Steve. You've given me a new appreciation of wagon tail lights.

I gotta vote for the lights on the DeSoto

I think that one can only tell if he´s standing right in front of the car ..
on the pictures it looks exactly fk3 when I´m on the computer .. on the
phone it looks red-ish ... we had the debate already in here about fk3 / fk5
being orange or brown or something else and I don´t want to start it all over,
for me it´s one of the greatest colors mopar ever offered and I like it especially
on a fuselage.. your car is simply a great find !

Jerry is my son whom Chris knows. He was Dusseldorf, Bonn, and one other place; meeting suppliers of Physical Training Equipment.

This is who he works for. If you click on the link and watch any of the three videos on it, the man speaking is my son.

Thanks a bunch Marv. I’m super happy with the car, even with all it’s flaws. The door jams, engine bay, and inside of the trunk are still the original FK3 paint. Good thing, because I know what it’s supposed to look like and have a reference to go by when I get the car painted some day.

This picture shows how far off the previous owner was with matching the paint to the original FK3.

 

[Marv]

Wow ... Question is why, as he obviously had the reference ..so either the painter was not very talented in mixing colors or he wanted it to be darker

I bought the car from the Daughter in law of the original owner. She didn’t even know or care it was a GT. I remember her saying “the guy I had restore the car tried to get the color as close as he could”. Well he must have been color blind. Ha ha!

 

[Marv]

Well mixing and painting is some kind of art and there are good artists and those who suck
