Default Hi Curtis.

Hi Curtis, The picture Skip has just posted looks really sweet. About a week or so ago I emailed you a link showing a 2nd gen, from memory it was a similar shade and you commented your wife even liked it. 😊 I reckon there would still be enough contrast with a black stripe. That's my latest favorite mate.
Cheers.

I am leaning towards the darker of the two. Still have a few more I'd like to look at before I decide though.

I do like that green, but....as strange as this sounds, I think it would look better on a 68. I know....weird.

I really like Mike Reckley's 67. It doesn't seem to dark or to light to me. Haven't seen it in person, but it seems well balanced and doesn't flip to much from what I can see. If I could find something similar, I'd be happy.

one of my 1st 68's in my memory was a mist/silver 68, my dads friend owned, this was the early 80's, so who know what color it really was, but that's what I'd go with,

I really like Mike's 67 ... understated yet awesome! Still think a wrap is the way to go

Damn, that Guard green is nice!! Makes me think of the great Porsche green and brown colors of late. We're totally not helping.

If you're still thinking Lincoln silver, I agree with the darker.

Hi Curtis, I just did a google search on this car and did some quick research, in a magazine article they gave the colour, looked up the code and it's the same as mine.😊 get a nice big spray out done mate, in some pictures it looks identical and in others it appears way darker. Cheers Trevor.

Two things: I have seen Mike's car in person several times, the color is awesome! I really like it a lot. It would be an excellent choice.

Secondly, hey, I own that white trailer now!
