Here's the car in color. Not sure why they wouldn't have equipped this one with the new-for-1967 Rally II Wheels, but it sure looked sharp anyway. It also had a column shift automatic trans. Prepped and primped through engineering, it made the rounds as a press fleet car. The car still exists today.
