GM had a thing for pale yellow interiors in '67.... I actually like the look. Loaded car, too - maybe a dealer demo back in the day?

Well, it IS a convertible with a rare 4 speed and a restoration by the Thornton's ???

If it were a Chevelle would the price be out of range ?

Beautiful car.

----These triple saffron 67 442's were a special edition of sorts and are a bit rare. With that said, that is a lot of a couple of cakes. Like you said it does appear very nice though. I have a vested interest in 442's bringing good money so I'm hoping he gets it.....Bill S

I'm not sure it's possible to have a car be more feminine and muscular at the same time

Being a stick with PW, PS, PB, A/C and the headrests is just awesome

Fabulous car

WELL SAID !!! Along with a rare colour combo. Believe it or not there are cars out there worth more than 69 Z28's

Give credit where credit is due

I don't know that I would call it feminine. I had a '67 GTO with bench seat, reverb and ps, pb and 4 speed that guys on the GTO forum referred to as "a gentleman's muscle car". I like that description...:flag:

Thornton restored it with that junk repo brake booster ?

Thornton restored it with that junk repo brake booster ?

It’s the first noticeable thing.

There are two Thornton’s; brothers but have their own shop. I’ve noticed a marked difference in the quality of one shop versus the other. I won’t get into names or stories, but the Olds guys know what I’m referencing. Those boosters are a real kill-joy for me.

I remember one of them faked a W30 convert and sold it at Barrett ? Or tried ?

Sold it with “found” paperwork, deal went south, resold at another B-J venue for quite a bit less w/o paperwork.
