New member in Rhode Island

Hi everyone Gregory here. Just joined recently. I was lucky to find a 1969 convertible that has been in California it's entire life and is almost rust free with 90k miles. I plan on doing a complete restore just short of concourse. It's the classic racing red with black interior. I'm going to keep the red and do entire interior in a camel color like the one at the top of the home page. Also were the original interiors done in leather or vinyl? Any Spider clubs in New England? Lastly, how do I post photos?Thanks.

Gregory,

I like the tan, but was it offered on 69's?

We need to see some pictures.

These are a few RI guys on the board. JimmyCakes was here all the time but he seems to have disappeared. Another is Richard 240. Plus a big bunch of Mass guys. Search under "Rhode".

69"s are cool.

Good luck.

I am partial to the leather look too, with the Red exterior.

Thanks everyone. I'm going to go with camel or chamois. It's completely intact except its missing the bonnet emblem. Did they come with leather interiors or vinyl? Most importantly, how do I upload photos? Thanks. Gregory

LOOK UP!

djape mentioned vinyl and he's right. Only the very last 80's Spiders had real leather.

And Pete's post has the pic posting info.

Let's see it.
