Ugliest color combo I've ever seen that didn't involve brown. Still interesting and I'm glad it exists, I like it as a curiosity/rare thing. But the combo is hideous to actually look at.

That sold cheaply, if it's as nice in person as most photos show.
I say "most" because some photos seem to show some really odd contours along the sides.
A buddy's Dad who was a Sales Mgr at a Dodge & Plymouth dealer (odd pairing, in NY) back then mentioned that sometimes they'd get yellow & green cars at the end of the year.
They weren't ordered, as he hated that combo, but they showed up.
Ad goes on about originality & survivor, but it's obviously been restored inside & out - though overall it looks to be a pretty decent car.
Lots of things I could pick at, but for $35K, I agree that someone got a pretty decent deal considering that; better if the incorrect stuff doesn't bug them.
Note the guy's feedback: 3 Chevys, 2 being restomods, at the top...

That was my concern, too. Quote from ad: " all original sheet metal with no rust issues" Well what original metal remains, and no rust issues because it's all been Bondo'd. I have a hard time believing that paint is from the '90s.... I'd say more like from 90 days ago.

CLASH

verb

If one color or style clashes with another, the colors or styles look ugly together. You can also say that two colors or styles clash.

I guess the seat medallions didn’t survive. Vinyl top looks weird on driver c pillar, like it’s been rubbed on really hard in places. Hmm. Probably an ok driver for 35k that will need full quarters within a few years. At that point a 50k car will have been the better choice today.


I want my fair share

My father had a 1966 Imperial Crown HT Sedan in yellow with green interior. I thought it was cool, Dad did not. He repainted it dark green.

I saw a 71 Dart Swinger a few years ago with the same yellow and green top/interior combination. It is definitely interesting and two colors I would have never thought of putting together..

A bit off topic but maybe not, When I was on th line at Ford we had a 72 OR 3 Pinto come down the line that was Pink with a green interior. Cost me some time as i had looked ahead, saw the pink and ASSumed Black seat belts, OOOPPPS whistling👎🏻🍻

Yeah, "survivor" as in the car is still here, hasn't been crushed, etc. and "original" as in most of the things we replaced mirror the parts the factory originally sent the car out with.

I had a quick look at the color trim guides. They all recommended Cream/Sunburst/Beige for green interiors.
So I guess this combo wasn't all that odd. Except for the part where they all got parted.
