Hey, Bill Jr.

All good guesses - it's like a dove? gray. The entire car was on it's way to being dove gray. A "colour that didn't attract attention" was how my friend characterized it. As if excessive MPH were somehow overlooked by an inane choice of paint colour. The whole shell was already painted and all other parts were stripped off, sealed with epoxy primer and gathering dust for 8 years when I bought it from him. A natural crossroads. I carried the parts to work with me one by one and painted them all black then broke a line down the side of the body and shot the rear quarters right where the pictures were taken. Kinda Marine Patrol in an unintentional way. Just meant to give a tip of the hat to the car's FHP pedigree w/o using cream which I was told to avoid lest I meet the original owners with some frequency. Thanks for having a look and for the kind comments.

Thanks, Bernie!

I got it in, I think February of this year. Really cool cars. I get now, some twenty years later what all the fuss was about. It's all the more gratifying to have one of these now when so many have been incompetently driven into immoveable objects or hacked up to go drag racing. Mine is not without molestation as the buck tags were inexplicably cut OFF! (screeching tires, woman screams, glass breaking). Some people just care nothing for the fact that these were service vehicles whereas I think it's one of the coolest aspects of them.

Thanks again -

I tried too include these to illustrate my words. I think they were too large and the system revolted -

Check 'em out. Hmm won't permit two at a time.. will do one and then the next.
