I guess I'm gonna have to get used to green

Triple green without a Vinyl top. That is great IMHO.

Passenger side mirror is a plus too. No head rests either.

Double green...

Double green...

You could still order a two tone combination in 1969 AFAIK, that's why I counted the Roof seperately.

 

[Zymurgy]

Nice, generally I don't like all that green but your car looks great. Congratulation.

I agree, that car looks sharp!

Well ....... If a painted roof is the same color as the car, it's not triple green.

 

[bluefury361]

It was double green until the seats were, (incorrectly), reupholstered. Now its green w/green/brown interior.

My calculation up till now was:

Interior green + Roof green + lower Body green = triple green.

The seats look original to me. They are similar to this advertisement...

My first thought was discoloration of the orginal material due to sun or other environmental influences.

 

[sixpkrt]

The cloth with vinyl bench seat looks like original equipment to me.
I could be wrong though.

It has been long enough that we can once again warm up to the green. I love it on my Fury which is the same green as yours. It is very relaxing to drive.

 

[CanCritter]

It's not green....think of it as emerald.....

That's either funny, or ick.

That's either funny, or ick.

I didn't notice any discoloration in the back seat

 

[cm23uoc]

Now was there a high number of air refreshers inside when you bought the car, otherwise I think it's fine.

All kidding aside, the 300 is pretty much bone stock. The clock has 59K on it, no cracks in the steering wheel, all glass is good and manually roll up/down nicely. The wipers and all lights work too.
When I drove it today, I didn't hear rattles or creaks, and the 440 had plenty of power from a dead standstill launch.
Some changes will be made to the exhaust system, and I will probably change over the points to electronic ignition.
I truly wasn't in the market for another car, but I couldn't pass on this one.
This will keep me busy as a nice winter project.

Great looking car. Couldn't think of a nicer colour. Congratulations.
