You should take that up on the Hollywood end of Mulholland (I think the Malibu end is still closed?) top down and just chill.  That'd be a great drive.  One I always try to make in my rental car every time I'm in the area.

That color is what made me fall in love with them. C. Van Tune had the gold one, you could see on Sunset, that he would write about on Motortrend. 

 

I also love the turquoise colour of that time on that model.

I hate the black I have (for cleaning purpososes), but in my old age I am not as anal, and even go out in public sometimes with a dirty car (which for a black car is all the time)

That sounds gorgeous!!!  The I saw a turqoise exterior, with a full green interior recently at a Caddy club meeting, it was beautiful.  Then again I have a tendency to oggle over other people's possessions.

Adding a coolant expansion tank. These cars never came with them. Starting in 1969, they had them.  When going up hills, don't like the fluid burping in driveway.  

 

Had to go to store to pick up one to see which fits

Next..

They send me the wrong seals for the Transmission ... toobig.. sigh 

 

Differential seal is the correct one But the pinion yolk is worn I tried to smooth it out the best I can.  I put it back together if it leaks I might need to order the Yolk and change the seal again . 


I have new transmission seal’s coming tomorrow hopefully one of them will be the correct one

Is there a repair sleeve available for that yoke?   It's a stainless steel sleeve that is press fit on over the wear area.

New sleeve hasn't left any drops at all. So I imagine it is working ok, I have been keeping a close eye on it.
