You weren't at Mecum Indy then-there were four. For reasons I can't quite comprehend, Mecum had 4 essentially similar (nice but not awesome) '69 H/O's at the auction and scheduled ALL FOUR to go across the block on Friday.

----Back in that era I was living mostly in Ft. Liquerdale. There was a local fireman that had a 69 and he changed the gold trim color every year. The 1st year he did it candy apple orange. the next year candy lime. I lost track of the car after that last change. Car was always immaculately clean, and he never changed anything else "wheels etc."...….Bill S

That's a pretty neat idea Bill. How did it look with those different colors?

----Looked pretty cool, Mark. I forgot to mention that the candy lime version also had spider webbing laid over the top of it. I actually liked it the best!......Bill S

That's right down my alley! Would love to have seen it. I'm a huge fan of those psychedelic 70's paint jobs with the endless lines, panel paint, spider webbing, lace patterns, the paint drops (forget what they're called), etc..
