LOL....he sure is. Good luck with your search
Member Capt46 has a car like what your looking for and it was for sale not to long ago. I'd start a conversation with him.

he sold it, and it had black interior and the 7 1/4 rear end and a racing stripe.. on top of the $24K he was asking, i would have had to spend another 6-10 grand to get all the parts i would need to convert the interior to citron gold. I would prefer to find a car with those original options, even if it needed mild restoration
I have a 66 FS, 4 spd., disc brakes, console, fast ratio manual steering from CA that needs more than a mild restoration. Original buffed silver out, black interior both needing restoration. Legendary has citron gold interior available for this car.
PM if interested.

I stand corrected...what I could NOT find was the gold headliner, which Legendary does not catalog. Because of that, I went with a different scheme, olive carpet with white seats and door trims. I still have the car.was, i assume means you no longer have it

ahhh , lovely sir, interior looks very clean and classy. headliners are easy enough to do on your own, I did mine in my 2006 GTO, they sell the pre-foamed fabrics at Michaels and joann fabrics stores, in about 300 different colors and probblay 20 different oem textures, im sure you could find a match if you ever decided to go full Gold
Do you have a picture album of your car anywhere Cliff?
Early A body headliners aren't anywhere close to your 06 GTO. They are all fabric and to be done properly the glass has to be removed.

ok, so you're saying theirs no way to extract the board through the doors, it has to come out through the glass?
There is no board, It's all fabric. You have to clip, stretch and glue. Quite difficult even for the upholstery shops.
@stickpony , check out post #6. I'm going to install my first headliner 1965 Dart

IDK, man that one on ebay is exactly what you are asking for.
You may never find another one optioned that way.
If money is not much of an object, it's always good to have a plan B.
...and it's not terribly far from you all things considered.
What I don't see on that car is the typical rust under the quarter panel spear trim.

I was looking for a 66 Coronet 440 with a factory 383 and A/C.
I found one in 2004, and have only seen 1 other since.

We did the headliner in my old '66 with all of the glass installed. It's a PITA, but not too bad to do. We had it installed in an evening. We also stitched it up using the old one as a pattern.
