Very Nice. I like the front seats. Up until recently, never cared for the tuck and roll, but it validates the time capsule and mileage to me.

The rally wheels would have to go.

the rally wheels are gone, i took them off right away, it now has vintage American Racing torque thrusts that i have owned for 40 years(i collect all vintage american racing wheels), the rears are custom widened to 15x9 3/8" and the fronts are 15x7, tires are 275/ 60 on rear, 215/ 70 on front

...yes , that is a real hemi cuda in the background( not mine)

Americans look great! At first glance I thought those were some old Fentons on it....Love the look of those on 68's!

the seats were done in about 1970-71 by Casey(rip) in Burnaby because one cold winter day the orig owner got in and the seat seam split .
