Okay, it's time to prove I really do own a 58TC. I don't have but this handful of shots of the exterior, and I burned all the ones of the interior!
You will notice the "disco" ceiling is still in place on these pics as well as that luxurious indoor outdoor carpet in the upper salon/pilothouse. It's all stripped out, and I'll be a busy boy once my engine is rebuilt and the mess is gone.
I've had people tell me I should have taken pictures of the red velvet covered trim on the white padded vinyl that covered the master, the red fuzzy headboard, the pink shaded swag lamps port and starboard (would have left all that in place if I could have found some red lightbulbs), the white mobile home chest of drawers, the window shaker AC mounted in the starboard side of the master, and the mirrored panels on the folding doors on the closet!
Then there was the infamous "disco" drop ceiling on the upper salon (which I would have left in place if I could have found a 32v mirror ball and a full size John Travolta cut-out), all that god awful indoor outdoor carpet, the red formica that covered the cabinet doors, counters, and table, the green wallpaper that covered the cabinets themselves, and the floral patterned seat covers on the dinette!
As for my response to those who said I should have taken "before" pictures, I told them those images were permanently burned into my brain, and that was good enough for me! Besides, I didn't want anybody else to see what I had seen!
The first time my mechanic boarded the boat when all this stuff was still there, he said "hey, this was the 'ship' in the day!". Truth is, tacky as it was, it was all professionally done. I guess there is just no accounting for taste. It would have done Don Johnson proud!
