New black leather upholstery was sourced and installed during the restoration along with matching door panels and matching black carpets. Equipment includes power steering with a tilting steering column and a leather wrapped steering wheel, a pistol grip shifter, and slotted courtesy lights.

The Rallye instrument cluster was also refurbished and includes an 7k-rpm tachometer, a 150-mph speedometer, clock, a combo alternator/oil/water temperature gauge, and fuel level gauge. The 5-digit odometer showing 25,277 miles TMU, and about 2500 miles were added by the current owner.

15? Rallye wheels wear BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires are fitted making for a comfortable period feeling drive. Suspension is sound all around.  

Small imperfections are found around this car – but nothing detracting from overall value. Two small touch-ups on the right front fender, small scratches on both quarter glass windows and a small crack on the windshield side of the dash. 

Brightwork and chrome are great, all lenses and lights are free of cracks and stone chips, and the vinyl top is excellent.
