Ya, it looked maroon to me as well but the listing says brown. I thought it might have been my monitor.

Price seems high for a hardtop.

Engine repainted in the wrong color.  The exterior color is a maroon of some kind.

Beautiful car. Not too keen on the interior, though.

Does it look brown to you? Not to me.

That's pretty cool. I think the Packard must operate the same way. It kept falling behind and I kept/keep resetting it.  Now it's always within a couple minutes of actual time when I look at it.

I did finally figure out how to refurbish these clocks.  Coil wires usually burn out as a battery goes dead.  Fortunately they appear to burn at the end, not where they are wrapped (heat sink affect?).  And then the contacts can be replaced by soldering in contacts stolen from an old window, lock, horn, or Bosch relay.  Then a little clean up, blue paint for the inside, and cold galv on the outside. 

Pic is '69 and '66 clock.  Both have run flawlessly for a day and are within a minute or two.  They both have 'auto' adjusters; all you do is keep resetting the time each day if they are fast/slow and each reset adjusts the spring slightly in the proper direction.

Anyone have dead clocks they want looked at?  I suppose the '69 is now available.

Points were retained until 1974 when HEI was offered as an option. Then about 1/4 of the way through the 1974 model year they went full HEI. I always found GM's HEI to be a dependable system that when grabbed in the wrong place at the wrong time would throw you right out from under the hood, you hoping not to hit your head on the secondary hood latch that was hanging down. 

Yeah, guess it was the change from POA valve to VIR that occurred sometime during the '73 model year.
