That's a beautiful car, Morris. Like the extra touches like the backward slanting rear aerial *, the accent colour in the stripe, contrasting with the white body. I've always been a fan of BF Goodrich T/A's....they have that nice ' wide oval' look that fills out the wheel wells nicely. The wire wheels (caps or wheels ?) look great...nice air of class.
* The rearward aerial slant was a feature, from what I remember, back in the late 50's to 60's of a performance convertible or 2 door hard top coupe. Always a nice styling.

I'd like that, although you'd have to be careful not to do any WOT...I've got this bad back from old age.....

That can always be changed too 
With the small engine and highway rear end, I bet she would actually get pretty good fuel economy.

The 67 390 fastback has some fairly nice performance.

The 67 has to have one or more rear leafs removed as the previous owner went over board when replacing the rear springs. There`s definitely no wheel hop, it has traction bars as well but no give to the rear suspension either!
The biggest problem with the convertible now is the weather. I feel that spring can`t come soon enough and winter hasn`t even started yet!
