Interior:
Interior has new concourse correct molded carpet, headliner, floor console, roof console, seat upholstery, seat belts and door panels and dash pad, refurbished original instrument cluster, refurbished original fiberglass panels and proper working fold down rear seat and side air vents and more.
Body:
This is a rotisserie restoration with only minor repairs. A dented frame rail and a few non correct accessory mounting holes welded up. Absolutely no cancerous rust anywhere. New primer and paint all around with proper re-creation of factory transition of transmission tunnel black to undercarriage rusty/brown.
Tires and Wheels:
Five new Scott Drake Styled Steel Wheels and five new Coker Tire Firestone F70-14 Wide Oval Tires.
Other:
Engine compartment and trunk have proper decals and trunk has N.O.S. jack, handle and spare mounting stud and wing nut.
And now the lowlights:
At some point in this cars life it was in an accident that damaged the front passenger fender and drivers rear quarter panel. To the best of my knowledge they were replaced when original factory parts were still available. The front fender was just a bolt on repair. The rear quarter panel would have had to have been cut out and then welded but it must have been done by very talented body repair personnel because if I didn't point it out you would never know. Also, during the rotisserie restoration we replace the radiator bracket with a N.O.S. bracket. The radio and cigarette lighter are not wired up and there is no speaker.
