If they’re the ones I’m thinking of, they aren’t even original pigalle covers. I was arguing with a guy on Facebook who was selling them. I showed him pictures of a super low mile car so he could see what original pigalle seat covers looked like, and he still argued with me saying his were original. |

Edited: I originally said "That's not the correct steering wheel for a '65, that's a 60-63, that's strange."
After looking closely, I just realized it's just the wrong horn ring.

$2,700 for a good starter project with room to knock it down another few hundred, maybe.
Will obviously need apron/well work, but the rest does look dry and straight. I'd pick this all day over something with fully-distributed rust. This is very appealing against the backdrop of so many other higher-priced turds out there.

"...it looks so clean with out the big bundle of cloth from the convertible top." Oh please, that's like the sexiest part of the convertible And L398 is Pacific, not "light blue"
