I pulled the lower dash off (my Ivory white 73 1.7L) to deal with the steering column recently and was surprised to find yellow paint - I believe this is an original unpainted car . . .
Also please note the red (primer?) under the driver fender in the door jamb. . . I just read in another thread (excerpt below), however that an L96 car also had the yellow bottom dash . . . please enlighten me . . . Anyone have a clue about what colors and why they chose those colors on the original dashes? The bottom of the dash of my L96D car is an odd yellow color. |

When I pulled a green dash out of a one owner, all original white 75, I knew the story was true.
Parted the car because owner let it sit outside for 4 years when it needed a new clutch. Rust wasn’t terrible but more project than I wanted. I gave the roller (for free, so no complaints from that buyer - lol) to Paul Petition and his brother built it up from parts from a crash damaged car. Even had the original bill of sale from the dealer. |
