I was surprised to see the dash and column being painted green. So the interior is going to be green and white?

Dash and column are originally green from the factory, redone the same again, except for the seats, upper door panels and door cards changed over to white. I know a green car with white interior has black dash and console (factory combo) but keeping those green....changing to black seat belts...

Interesting.... is it that way so that you can change it back to green if so desired without redoing the dash? What are the plans for headliner and carpet color?

Headliner is a new green one, same with carpet, all new interior from Legendary. Yeah, easy change back to original Green all round. Much prefer the white,  not fussed in the black dash/console/carpet.

Got the dash in today. Fully restored.  Cluster done a while back with new decals, new Quartz clock, frame media blasted and painted the correct 'suede' finish, all new wiring...new dash speaker hooked up to the working AM thumb wheel radio, new Sony stereo hidden in glove compartment, connected to dash and parcel tray speakers.  Short 'whip' aerial tucked in behind the dash, all looks original at first glance 😎

I put the seat belts back in yesterday, cleaned the outside and went for a spin. Need to put the stripe back on, rear quarter glass, and a few small things. Some pics to enjoy...

Good question, I didn't hang around it long enough to hear comments or talk with people. Generally people haven't any idea what a 500 is
