there was a breakdown of the vin too, showing that the car has a limited slip and was originally white/pearl beige, not triple white as i was told.

For our year, "Pearl Beige" is the whitest all light color interior - and very nearly white - Lincoln offered until late in the '64 run when white was introduced for "white and ...." pleated bench style. I haven't seen any all white 1964 interiors, nor any multi color convertibles.

I'm sure you're plenty busy but any chance getting a part number on those Monroe shocks you put on the front? Getting ready to finish my front and just looking for an idea as to what shock to use. Thanks
