cant help but think that if some company is making repop 2+2 emblems the louvers will be next..for a 1000 US I can wait and I have probs waiting for much lol
found 67 repop fender emblems now although I know there is 20 of them how do you think 65 bonnie or catalina louvers match up ? useing 5 of course each side ?
Ames Performance Engineering makes the 67 fender emblems and the 65 hood emblem which you can use as the 69 trunk emblem if you cut the mounting studs off and use a mounting adhesive to attach it.

The 65 Catalina 2+2 louvers are much smaller than the 69 2+2 louvers. They have the same look, but are much smaller.

From experience you would have had a better chance than most of finding an L48 350 300-horse under the hood & 12-bolt underneath on a 2+2. A great engine when high octane fuel was available but have to make some changes today.
So Bill, when time & opportunity presents itself, take your time & assess the car. Clean it up thoroughly, takes some good pics, share them here and solicit good starting prices. Or maybe the stars will align, you will fall for the car and the Nigerian U.S. Ambassador really does have an ATM card pre-loaded with $5 million USD in your name. I'd be on the edge of my seat. Green car originally, as in Verdoro Green? They had a number of greens that were popular that year.

Bill. Seen the FB post. Bare minimum for your car is a 350. The engine options, I may stand corrected, 250hp 350 2bbl, 300hp 350 4bbl, 265hp 396 2bbl, 335hp 427 and 390hp 427 both 4bbl. Dual exhaust was an option on all engines except for the 390hp.
Actually you couldn't order duals on the 350 2bbl (250 horse) for some reason. As mentioned here Duals were standard on the 390 horse. Optional on the 300, 265 and 335 horse engines.
And I -think- the optional is still different from the 390hp car, which got full resonators and everything specific to that car. If you got duals on a 335hp car, for example I don't think you got the resonators, etc.

Wish you would have decided that before I took mine apart for metal work! Or maybe I'm not, it forced me to "fix" mine instead of rebodying it...
I really dodged a bullet with mine though, the frame was minty because someone had powdercoated it (whole, bushings and all!) or POR-15d it which preserved it.
Probably for the best, because the car had belonged to the dad of Bill's buddy, and I think he wants to see it restored and back on the road some day, rather than becoming a parts car.
Plus, yours will have more cred, IMHO, if it's not a rebody. Once you rebody it, it will never be the real car again (again, IMHO).
CanGMfan I think the dash was green..dont recall even looking at the door panels,noticed the buckets console, Seats and the convert top and back window on the rear seat dont even remember if it had AC or not..wasnt too interested once it wasnt a big block you know something different or Special ..but I do remember thinking it would be a nice car cleaned up and a easy fix bodys in great shape .Even if I had to put my 283 in it .now didn't look at the frame or floors...talked to my bud today and with luck I can see the car this week or next yes Dave the whole point of deciding to get the car was to have it on the road looking good as promissed to my bud.I get my car paint from him at NO cost ..not someones parts car or lawn art...mind you if the frame is gone? I guess if someone wants it bad enough they can do with as they want ..

That's funny, I was looking at the pics and thinking "Man, what a work of art that is" and then I see that's exactly what you posted!
Beautiful....
