Well, it seems a bit odd that it would look like it was built
to be "original spec" but yet have a new tweak here and there
and not go farther...
The mod choices there don't look too bad. I mean a modern stereo
is essential, if you want to listen to something besides the motor
that is. Personally I hardly ever turned mine on :)
Full smog streamlining is an easy choice.
Not sure I would have added the shift light, but hey.
The things that jump out to me are the tach cable box/shift light
and the dodgy finish on the dash. The glove box is a different
finish than the rest of the dash and the cut out for the lock
shows bare wood, ugh. Looks like some knob rearrangements.
All in all it is a pretty car, and clean. Wonder what the reserve is.
