that gives you a leg up in the rare department, you don't see them much over here too, but that is improving it seems with each year.

This is my Brentwood Brown when I first got it last year...  Sadly it's not staying brown, it's going black, but I'm keeping the buckskin interior. Sorry, it'll be brown at heart at least...

Lol!!! it gets feisty sometimes on me... No, that was the morning that I loaded it up on a trailer to drop it off to get a complete brake system done on it (brakes were GONE!!!).  It was super cold that morning and the car was still warming up.  Whats funny, is that I loaded it on to a trailer to go get the brakes done, just to pick it up a couple days later to drive it 30min down the road to drop it off to be restored... But man those brakes were nice when I got it back, (I could of stopped on a dime) even though I only got to enjoy them for a 30 minutes drive, lol.

are you going with a full 77SE paint theme?  i have seen a very nice 77 brentwood brown up close several times and it is great to look at.

No not going with a full SE style, the car is going to be all black (including grills/ trim) (exterior) with a custom hood bird (kinda like the BRE but not as much gold) and sail panel birds, no pinstripes (as of now) with the 17 YO gold rims.  I want something that kinda shouts me, but stays close to home.  As far as the interior, it's staying buckskin for the most part (color might be a little off) only things really changing on the inside is the add of modern radio (map pocket w/org radio still in) and red birds are being switched to gold.  plus adding the shifter engine tuned plate to match the dash. Bottom line I love black painted cars but I don't want a SE clone, so there are somethings that I want to take from the SE style, just not the whole thing.

I'm wondering the same thing. I heard somewhere that it's possible, but requires some work to get it done?

this car has my interest please feed the details. I thought maybe it was the fact it had original tires on it and seeing the ta 6.6 i figured it was an all original w72 car with low miles but now im puzzled.
