Black really suits the "2 liter coke bottle" styling of these cars makes the lines sleeker in appearance IMHO, lighter colors tend to amplify the large "hips" the girl has.... white interiors are sharp!

I owned this car twice. In these photos, it's wearing original paint. (I bought the car in Phoenix, AZ. back in 1985).

I dunno, when it's fresh I sure don't hate it! And yeah, I lived through the '70s, back when they ALL seemed to be green... biggrin

This one looks like a really nice ride.

Well it looks like I have a Spring Special Topper X edition, numbers matching, never wrecked or been apart with an intact build sheet. So since it has survived almost 49 years as is, who am I to change it now. It will be painted back green and everything rebuilt back to it's former self. It was built Jan 24th 1972 in St Louis. Does anyone reproduce the plaid cloth seat covers?

Before you choose you should do your homework on interior trim availability. You might find that you're forced to go with a black interior because other colors aren't available. You might be able to find everything in white for that year but with my '72 Duster I was forced to use black rather than blue since most parts are not reproduced in blue.

I checked Legendary. The only pieces I can't get are the interior upper sail panels which I need, a green dash pad and the correct vinyl cloth seat covers. I can paint a black dash pad and the seats may have to be standard white vinyl. I have access to correct bucket seats, steering column, console and shifter for a 72 Charger if I want to go that route. I'm still on the fence but the old guy in me keeps telling me it's a survivor.

In 1970 my dad brought home a Nova that was almost the same shade as The Dodge/ Plymouth Gun Metal Gray.
It was a great color sedom seen then and now.
Not tgat it matters but I learned how to drive in that car.
230ci six 3 on the tree, manual drum brakes, and stearing am radio heat only car were only options.
P.overty Caps on Steel Wheels.
He added an under dash cassette player that also recorded
As the only add on.
I lived on the same street as the Chevy Dealer and saw all the new cars come in and get test driven or beat to death in the days of covering the windows of the show room with paper.
I hardly saw any gray cars come out the place. So think it is rare on most makes.
