    We got the Marti report for Ruth's blue 73 GT. Seems like it was white with orange levant vinyl top and orange trim. Anyone got any pics of this color combo. We're debating on putting it back to original. Marti report says it was 1 of 937 with that color combo. :)

    It would look something like my 74 Grabber, but a Comet with smaller bumpers. Pretty low numbers, mine is 1 of 198 with the same trim/paint codes.
    I have some pictures save of a white comet with orange stripes, I'll see if I can find them.

    Any signs on the car that it used to be white/orange. What color is the interior?

    Hey Don, here's some pics I took from the web of a 74 Comet GT, with that color combo.

    The orange halo vinyl roof is painted white though, and the black satin on the hood looks to be sunbaked with age. Might give you a better visual if you visualize it with the halo being orange, like they usually are with that color combo:

    Thanks for the pics.

    Craig, the back of the seats are orange (black painted now) as are the door panels and dash. You can also see some of the white showing through in the engine compartement.

    :)

    I would probably put it back original....but that might be tough finding all the interior stuff. Of course...that is half the fun. :D

    Don mine is going to end up far from original, the factory orange bench is gone in mine but the rest of the orange interior is there. Your more than welcome to any piece of the puzzle as long as I get a equal piece in return.

    There is also a orange interior car at desert valley up here as well. if you really feel like paying there prices.
