My friend Brad from my old club, Half A Brain, is building a replica of Lazenby's butternut car. He's a bit of a perfectionist though, so who knows when it'll see the road! It's been painted 3 times already, and he's just changed the doors, wings and welded in a ragtop section! He managed to get the first set of JGE Torkers from Jon Abbott to go on the car. He has been in contact with John Lazenby to find out the colour of the car and although it's correct (Corvette Warbonnet Yellow IIRC) it looks too gold - maybe it's because the old photos have yellowed with age.

Maybe Luca's a little more down ! ?
NO ?

But color are 'lickable' ! 

[alex d]

yep, i'd prefer lower mounted indicators, but otherwise I can't find any fault on it...

[javabug]

The indicators up high are better than being mounted too low.  It appears they are on the same baseline as the head lights. 

[Cornpanzer]

The only thing I would change is the rear stance.  The wheels could use a little spacing out and it appears that they have positive camber.   Perhaps it was backed into that spot causing the pos camber though.

Ive got his first set in my garage, waiting to go on my car, they do look more gold than the original butternut, but like you say its probably down to the old photos. The holes for the lucas lights are lower too, in the horn grills.



So 'right'....

The color was '71 Corvetter Warbonnet Yellow, but as I recall once painted by Leonard Becker it was a shade or two different.  Actually looked better than the factory color I thought. 

I'm flattered that you guys think so much of this car.  Of course it was my pride and joy and I tried to take a different route than most were doing.  As stated before I wanted more of a "formal ride" rather than a race car.  Guess that is why I like my Chryslers so much over Mustangs, Camaro's, etc.  They are fast, but offer a lot of comfort, which now is a VERY IMPORTANT thing.

I look forward to seeing the finished re-creation.  I would be more than happy to provide any info I can regarding the car to getting it completed.
