Pics of 69-73 C bodies

I took kids out to get the ice cream and then washed the car before putting her back to the garage.

Thank you Steve. Learned something new again. A really expensive and rare option in 1971!

Or they see a rare FQ5 seemingly repainted in a not-so-Imperialist blue.

yes, it was repainted in a kind of fantasy blue going into direction of B5.
Also had a black v-roof instead of white and the seats were redone but with non original material.
In pics with open doors it looked like as if the doorjamb might still be FQ5.
But it wasn't the case. It was just a different blue.

Came like that from the US. Tried to live with it but couldn't. And it was too much work to redo it completly as it was repainted everywhere including complete trunk and complete enginebay. Sold it three years later
