Tweaked the color for you. Not perfect; a professional could do better. Nice car!!!

Dave,

Color looks excellent...

If I send a picture of my car can you tweak the color too....can you take care of the rust at the same time?  What about the seized 390, any tweaking that can be done there!!!

No problem! Rust is easy to touch up in Photoshop. And I can paste in a photo of a functional 390. Could even upgrade you to a CJ at no extra charge  ;)

She came to me with 8,000 miles with Firestones. She was a Hertz car for 6 months. I don't know why the Firestones so early on.

Jeff, She went to East Point Ford in Atlanta then to Hertz , sold in May '69 went to reconditioning center in Pell City AL in December '69 then thru Ford dealer auction in July. I worked for a Lincoln Mercury dealer at that time and had the used car manager on the lookout for a nearly new Shelby since they had ceased production in 69 (I didn't know about the converted 70s at that time). :(
