Picture this..... oxblood leather interior. What colors (rare on GTV's) would go great with oxblood. And no it's not silver. I will try like heck to get the engine bay and items in color by the end of the week. But I came home today because I'm getting sick, very sick. So this may monkey up my plans.

Hmmm, maybe it will be a replacement for the Jim's Euro 1750... (I see that you are deleting the round side markers) The graphite gray exterior and dark red interior is the best combo for sure, but indaco grey looks pretty good w/ dark red interior too. The GT in the last picture is my mother's '64 in graphite/dark red combo  .
Edit: Enrique, is the AR736 same as the "graphite" I am talking about?

There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about Jim and his car. The nicest guy on the planet, and I wish like hell it didn't turn out that way. The regret runs deep.
AR736 is English Anthracite. Very dark. Very, very dark. Not shown in any of the photos above.
AR716 is Graphite Grey. Much lighter. Excellent tone. And yes the owner is going with that.

Sorry, I did not mean to bring that incident up again. I met Jim during the AROC convention in Tulsa, OK and I had a chance to admire his grey GTV in action back then so I too wish that it did not turn out that way.
My apologies,
PS Thanks for the info on AR736 vs. 716. I now know the color code for my mother's GT.

Having just spent the last hour reading this thread, it has to be one of the most inspirational things I've read for a long time! And grey is a sweet colour.

It's been a real nightmare for Jim and Jaci. They had between $10K and $20K (I am not at liberty to disclose the exact amount). It's coming up on a year and there still is no restitution, not even one cent. It's just shameful.
