Here is what she looked like

The car looked good when new. By the way the side marker and turn signal lights say 1970 and not 1969, unusual as its normally it's the other way around. Back in the day, on some cars, if a dealer didn't sell it during its model year it could be registered as the current model when sold.

Yes i did find the green one , it took me about a year and a half to find what it would of looked close to, mine was built 10/68....its a 69 model ser # 7971, it was purchased in Nebraska, and still has a airforce parking sticker on the bumper, i figure he got back Vietnam and needed to amp up alittle.
