Yea, I'd be willing to bet that color is "Midnight Canyon Red Metallic."
Because, I have basically the same car, 2-door and all. Except mine has a "newer" interior and is a slicktop.
But, nice car.

That is one nice Merc. Looks like you are well on your way to having a real show stopper.
You should try a picture like this one.
Find a park or an open field and stage the car so there is only trees or bushes, maybe a wooden fence in the background and remember to turn the front wheels slightly.
sounds like a new signature pic for me thanks for the idea.

nice progress! I remember hoping this thing would get a full sorting and repaint when you first joined, I'm glad it's getting the love it deserved.
Is that a variable venturi carb lurking under the air cleaner or???
