An aftermarket three-spoke steering wheel has been added and a Crutchfield retro push-button radio has been added. A Speedhut LED digital gauge package was added with GPS speedometer, built-in altimeter, trip meter and compass. The odometer was reset during the restoration and currently shows just under 8K miles.
