Brown? Have you been welding without an eye shield again?   :welder:

That looks like a nice light Burgundy color.

At "U" 50722 of the paint chips?  :scratchhead:

Anyway, my Toro with factory paint was a deep plumb purple, much darker than the pictured car.

I never opened up the paint chips. I was just looking at the car. I used to like that style Toro. Almost nonexistant today.

I liked 'em too, I actually bought one off a car lot.
Plus they were a good source of hot Olds engines, for boats and 442s.

Okay, lookey at the paint now:

I agree.  I have the 67 disk brake front caliper mount brackets on my 63.  Easy conversion
