Interesting. I think I've seen this car for sale before, but I'm not sure.

Anyway, I have one exactly like it. Similar color, too.

That's what I thought of immediately when I saw it too. I think the color is darker than yours? I had one that was the same darker gold color as this, but it had woodgrain on it. Same color interior. Must have been a popular color combo! Even the 73 poster shows this color

Sounds like a pretty fair deal including 2 455/400s. Needs some obvious body work, but still a great looking car and the lower valance appears to still be intact!

It's a bit hard to read the writing, but this is the '73 paint chip chart. My car was originally #81, Honey Beige, as that's what it says on the window sticker, which I have.

It was given a complete repaint, though, about 7 years ago, and I don't know for sure how well they tried to match the original color. I didn't own the car then.

Anyway, assuming the color of my car is close to original, it looks like the car in question might be #56, Chamois Gold. It's a bit darker.

It would be interesting to see the body cowl tag for this car to get the exact paint code. Too bad these craigslist ads never seem to feature that!
