This is probably a stupid question but didn't R2's have the Powershift on the floor?

To each his own, but I couldn't live with that Sea Foam Green. I like dark greens like Emerald Green or Jet Green.
I wish that people would take the effort to spell Loewy correctly.
At least it doesn't have the common "Caution Fan" label incorrectly affixed.

I agree about the light green, not my cup of tea either, but a nice car none the less.

That IS a very beautiful car well err.., all but the Sea Foam Green!

All of the green '63 GT's I have seen were Metallic Green Mist, that has to be really rare on a GT, not so much on Larks.

I just don't think I can buy the "all original" thing with that Cloth & Vinyl Interior and Carpet, it's just too nice to be a "surviver"!

The trunk mat certainly is not original, it's a vinyl replacement, not original rubber.

Not sure where the seller is getting the "Sea Foam Green", that is Green Mist or close to it. There was a "Spring Color" for '63 called "Sea Spray Green", but it was a light, almost-pastel non-metallic green that looked like the color folks used to paint their bathrooms! (At least it's not Ermine White like so many other '63's.)

I don't think I have ever seen a GT this color before. It is...well...different. It seems to be a beautiful example just the same.
