OK, Here are some pics of both the Wildcat/Centurion (I don't know my Big cars) and The Red GS with the White interior (John's car). Wildcat. Centurion's started in 1971. All these pics were taken at the Chicago 1970 Car show, and I believe were taken by Allan. Brad, you are right, they did the same thing to the Orange car's front seats that they did to yours, however they did not do their magic to the rear seat other then a different seat cover. Enjoy. Duane
Great thread Duane and Brad. The only problem was seeing Mark Reeves name! For a guy with such a great reputation. (That was the reason I used him) He turned out to be a thief and and his work was so bad I had to have the car taken off the frame again to redo his shoddy work. I won't say where I hope he ends up. What a POS. Sorry to Hijack such a great thread. Pun intended, Duane. Love the stories. Wish you and Brad both the best of luck at the Detroit Concours. Hagerty is lucky to have your cars there.
Thanks Duane, but I can't take credit for the first 3 pictures posted. Ron Mooney actually took those pictures. I used to grab his camera card and burn my pictures and his onto a CD-ROM. You can actually see me standing in front of the car in the second picture. I miss the Moonman. Nobody could make me laugh like he could.
Someone asked about a pic of GSX stripes being applied to a car. Thought I would supply one. Cheers. Duane
It was a Show Car, and was done like Brad's to a certain extent. They re-did the interiors for looks, not to last as everyday cars on the streets. They were made for limited usage. Duane
You didn't mention the light fixture in the red car. If you look closely in the Chicago 1970 Car show, picture you can see a ring florescent light hanging from the dome light illuminating the interior.
