I know how bad you want to find a match and I can appreciate that, but something to consider.
That year with 383 2 door how many were produced?? Usually half or less were four speeds.
Then look at the color. A little research will tell you the % of that year model were painted your color.
Then you take that number factor in the number of years since it was built, popularity for restoration, etc...and how many just like that are still out there??
You might have to reconsider the perfect match to Grandpa's car.
Something close may be your best option. You could always have it painted.

It has a longer grip and extended magazine and comes with the factory red dot. I have found the 365 is a bit tough to manage due to short grip. The XL solved that. SIG listened to the negative feedback and changed the platform. The result is used market is now getting flooded with 365s as folks trade to the XL. If you prefer the 365 check out used market. Might be some excellent prices?

"Old" post I know but I find the P365 fits my hands perfectly and yeah, I read those reviews of folks who didn't like the feel, even to the point of affecting accuracy. I held this gun in my hand before buying of course, felt and feels great. I was searching for one I could conceal but would also have stopping power when it was a nightstand buddy. I don't know that you can find a gun with a 10 and 1 capacity that is this small and undetectable. HOWEVER, I do not like that it doesn't have a safety. So.....I'm looking into other options to carry with (suggestions please- needs to have a safety). The one thing that the critics pointed out concerning the first generation of this weapon was that is wouldn't always fire and when that occured it could be fired upside down. Glad SIG addressed that.

Plus if you find exactly what you want in the future you can always sell this one.

Hmmm If I’m going to go that route, then I’ll think about it. It’s proving to be a tough combo to find. I’m thinking IF I’m gonna go that route then I may as well just find a 318 poly 4 speed car that’s rust free and in that color, then just drop a 383 into it and be done.

M&P9C. Holds 12 rounds. But can also use the larger 17 round mags as its big brother the M&P9. The M&P9C is not much bigger than my G42. Just wider. And it does fit in a pocket, just not as well as my G42.

my G42, you can get 10 round mags for it and I think I’ve seen 12s. Factory is 6. You can swap the base plate and get two more without much add on to the mag.
 
I'll throw another thought in.
Do you really want that same car?
Sometimes we think we want things, that maybe we don't.
I knew I wanted a notchback barracuda, and I kindof thought I wanted a Jeep. Those worked out to be true. I smile every time I climb in and hit the key. OK maybe a little less on the wagoneer now that its a creaky rustbucket - but I still really like driving it.

But there are other things I've thought I've wanted, turned out not quite so much.
Last year or the year before I bought Underwood with a Winchester stock in part because my Uncle had one with a Winchester stock - now long gone.
That was a wrong decision based in part on something I thought I wanted (because my uncle had one) turns out I don't.

But at that point the only advantage is that its thin. Might as well have the E-Z in 380 or even a compact M&P in 9.

I don't care for the safety in the trigger as a concept or in use. I'm sure others have different opinions. I guess the question is what one wants a safety to do.

Hard finding one that does it all well.
For the nightstand could go .38 or .357 revolver with 4" barrel, or a 1911 or 92 if you prefer pistol with safety.
 
Evening men...... Chris. If you want a 64 sport fury in that color combo and you have the funds buy it. It is very well priced and not easy to find. Red most popular color combo...383 4 4bbl is the standard engine in 64 sport fury.
