Yes if it is a data code "N" Gun Metal gray 4.2% is a bout right - If it is "H" code gun metal - a different gray it is 1.? %. Beautiful car - Red interior?

Unless it’s concourse don’t hold your breath. ☹️

Cept for those that are of concourse status IMHO the “driver” class is waining in value.
The younger generation doesn’t want these, Ha in fact except for our generation and maybe our 50 year old kids, they don’t even know what it is! My 53 year old neighbor thought it was a Corvette!

I don't get wrapped up in numbers,

Sure, mine is one of 1600 with the 3 speed manual, no overdrive
Sure, mine's Goldenrod yellow, which I was told they only made 500.

It doesn't matter to me, I just make sure I get it out as often as possible and ENJOY

For "rare" you need an F code.

Heck, who knows how to work on a car anymore? What’s a lifter?

I just bought my Pink 57. Love it. Did not buy as an investment. Still, it will

We painted my ‘57 Rebuild that (H) code , actually found the correct paint from a company in California, it is without a doubt Beautiful . Extremely hard for us to find paint. Thanks to Mr Minter giving us the lead on paint suppler

Go ‘55,’’56,’57 Birds
