Marti Report Rare paint code
I just got the Marti report on my convertible. The report states the my car was1 of 120 with this paint code and 1 of 6 with these paint trim codes 1 of 56 with these Engine/trans codes 1 of 107 ordered from this DSO 1 of 395 with AM/8 track stereo radio.
The vehicle was ordered with the following options:
See attachement Im tired of typing.
Question:
The car has been painted white and still looks good. Will it make a big differance in value to paint back to the original Grabber Orange? Anybody know what trim codes they are referring to.
All the options are still there (except for AM-8 track, anyone got one for sale? and there are mag 500's)the motor/trans/rear end are original.

Oh man, grabber orange convert... I'm not completely sure, but considering it boils down to 1 of 6 (probably rarer than that figure since the deluxe report doesn't say how many other cars are exactly like yours) putting it back to the original color paint will help with the value. Unfortunately, a good quality paint job will cost more than the value the original color will add most likely. But boy, a bright orange convertible sure would look nice.
Don't worry about the wheels, the original hub caps you're missing can be had... I've got 6 and I don't even use them
That's a very nice car you've got there, I'm jealous.

Thanks
Thats what I was concerned with.I may just do it because I'd like to put her back to original since it is more rare than my Mach1 and the Mach1 was originally white, but I think looks better red. Maybe I'll pick some caps up too and just store them with all the other stuff.
Other inputs welcome.

Does anybody know or have pictures or a link to the trim code for this Marti report. It says 1 of 6 with this trim code. Would that be Decor group? I'm pretty sure I won't find a picture of it if it was 1 of 6 ever made, but it may crossreferrance to another body style or year. Any help?

As I see it, that 1 of 6 means there were only 5 other converts with grabber orange and the medium ginger cloth and vinyl seats and decor group. One thing to note, those numbers are for converts, they don't count coupes/fasttbacks into them.

Right. What I'm looking for is what the car looked like coming off the production line. Any good picture sites, or does someone have a coup/fastback with these options I can see a picture of?
