Back in the day this was not uncommon to change the
color. There were some butt ass ugly colors AMC offered and could nto move them
off the lots until the dealership painted them. With a Corvette, this was a gift
and if I remember correctly, his favorite color was red. So sort of a no brainer
I guess for it to be changed from blue to red. Including interior. Just a
personal taste whether someone puts a crossram on a car, or flair kit or changes
engines or installs spoilers, mags, tosses the breathers and so forth.
I wished I had a dollar for every AMC breather I
threw away, ever door panel I cut up to put in speakers, every AMC logoed AM/FM
radio I tossed, every dash I drilled into for aftermarket gauges. But no, didn't
like the stuff in the 70s/80s and it was not uncommon to 'change' things. Still
do (I do) as well past my concourse years and whatnot, now more like Monster
Garage on Jagermeister.
Going back to the Vette belonging to Gus Grissom,
the bottom line is it is a 'celebrity car' and has that pedigree to add to it,
probably a paper trail a mile long. Sadly it is a tragic story. However, usually
celebrity cars, no matter what it is....fetches a lot more than your average
bear. How many of you remember the Conway Twitty AMC Pacer that sold for
$27,000? $27K for a Pacer.......
