The color is (was) burgandy. It was purchased on September 8, 1964 from Attleboro Motor Sales in Attleboro, MA. It has 76,901 miles. I am not positive what I want to do but it will be black, low, loud, and all mine. I want to get some pinstripes on it too but that is down the road a ways. If anyone knows how to beef up the motor without emptying the wallet, send me an email. for now, enjoy my site.
