    I bought the car new in 1974. One owner and no rust. I live in the Texas Panhandle (Amarillo) . It is a 318 car and staying that way.

    That looks great. I've always liked that Ice Blue. Also curious on what the interior color is going to be.

    Interior came with white. Exterior color is B5 blue which came on the car new. B5 in 74 had no pearl or metal flake.
