This one is a very unusual and striking color.  Although I assume DM used a correct Ford factory color I don't recall ever seeing one.

+1 Bob. Such a shame the red 60 Hardtop falls to pieces. What a great color combo pair they would make. As always great pics, thanks John

Love the car and the pics. Prefer this one without the top.

@geoff-jowett Geoff, my red hardtop is in a display case above my reach. I have not used a ladder to get up close to see if it has suffered the dreaded rash but from my viewpoint at floor level it doesn't look like it has been affected. Perhaps it's wishful thinking on my part.

Mine, too, is unscathed by the dreaded rot - thank goodness!

Bob, John, Tony so pleased to hear that. Occasionally the odd one comes up on ebay in a right mess. Lets hope all continues to go well with them. We would think that after all this time you should be OK
