Opinions on what exactly is this gold factory 87 color? Valencia? BC_99 Edited November 22, 2013 by BC_99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC_99 Posted November 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 amazing yet sad.looks to be such a nice rust free body. Yeah I agree, especially when it looked like this when the PO first got it. http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt93/BC_99/IMG_7408_zpsb22b8549.jpgHe got it with a spun bearing and some other engine issues. So he parted it to have stuff for his Fiji SHP. It is a shame, but some must die for others to survive. I will let you know when I get the frame rails cut out for you.

dmyers151 Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 I'd have to say it was born a Valencia car. Mine was that same shade of tan in the engine bay. http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr71/dmyers151/April_2011/HPIM1882.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burton Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Looks more Palermo to me originally, but probably could be Valencia or maybe even Shetland. Those cars all have very similar underhood colors.. For a second, I thought I may have the hood from it, until I saw the pic of it all together. I got an 83 hood a few years back that was wrecked...It was a VERY similar blue/purple color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
