What's the electrical lead going down to the modulator area? An electrical kickdown?    That looks like a vacuum modulator to me. The 2 stage version.

Ueagh, even the original ultra rare factory blue paint on the plug wires.

Yes, the brown is Fugly!!! A friend had one the same exterior color combo and it got changed to a slick top in that pretty gold.  Interior was tan so it looked good together.

Coincidentally my other half is at an event a stone's throw from the seller's (Gearhead Automotive) building tonight.

Am I missing something? I see only exterior pics of the car.

Underneath the big picture there is a bunch of little thumbnails.  Beside the thumbnails is a scroll bar,   if you scroll down you'll there are a lot more hidden thumbnails.

  too graphic for Canadian viewers

All 400 style trannys have electric kickdown and vacume modulators.The 65-7 sp had 2 ,one for the convertor angle and one for the kickdown...Car looks ok brown.

[Otto Skorzeny]

Aside from the color it's a beautiful car.  You should buy it as a spare, Keeper.

I wonder what the reserve is?

[Fins]

The color fits the era. The interior is a perfect color to paint the body any color you like.

[Denrep]

Sorry, after that sweet $800.00 California car that nobody moved on, 
the Eldorado window-shopping moratorium is still in effect.

Looks like the tenderness of the Canadian eyes are now open to the voraciousness of unchecked American imagery.

That's a sweet car, and like Fins says, it's right for the era. If it were mine I wouldn't change a thing.

Same car, somebody had C.R. II go look at it for him.

Problem is, C.R. II is only a self proclaimed authority; doesn't know anything about paint, evidence of body repair, engines, etc.

So...... Do what's needed......
