Default Looking For A 67 Air Coupe Silver/Red guts

I'm starting to test the waters here to see if anyone would happen to know where there might be a super nice 67 SB Air Coupe,4spd..Silver w/Red insides, High options are good and motor does not have to be matching #s. I will glady pay a finders fee to anyone that helps me find a car that will work for me....Thanks in advance !!!! Sammy

Thats going to be a tough one because silver/red was not a regular production color combo in 67 but a COPO deal. I have only seen a couple such cars.

Yea...An't that the truth!!! I guess what I'm hoping to find is one that has been made up that way...I realize I could just hunt down a fixer upper and make it to sut me,but I have been down that road with one mid year and its just way to easy to get over your head real quick. Good donor cars are hard to fine that are reasonable.When you are not talented enough to at least do some of the work yourself,it becomes a money pit fast..Tall order for sure!!

You will probably end up making that one yourself. Rare combo!

Or look for a good silver/black car and change the interior to red. That wouldn't be such a big deal.

Default silver/red

I love the silver/red combo, but 65 was the last mid year you could order it like that, I have no idea why they stopped. It's not a big deal to make your own. If you are not opposed to using dye, you might be able to have it done for less then $1,000. Maybe $2,000 if you change everything to red.

I actually know of a '67 Silver coupe with red interior but, unfortunately, the car is not for sale. It's been sitting under several trees for at least 25 years that I know of. The owner is a true azzhole and will not sell it no matter what.

Actually, I've changed an interior to red before and it is a pretty big deal. There are an amazing amount of interior parts and trim pieces that have to be changed out. I wouldn't attempt it again.

Yeah...I know what you mean,I restored a 66 coupe and changed the inside color as well,thats a big job...But when it was done, it sure was pretty. If I could run up on a silver car with paint that would suit me for the right price,that would most likely be my best bet,just to the insides....I have found 67 that is a really nice doner car 350 hp, air, 4sp,sidepipes,docs that is green. in the high 30k,spend another 15k and I think I would satisfied...
