The interior looks to be mostly original and in absolutely amazing condition with new factory correct carpet installed in it. It is Light Nugget Gold with bucket seats that have all the seat belts present. The dash and gauge cluster are as clean as the day it was new with an absolutely beautiful headliner.

It has an upgraded 4-barrel intake manifold and carb on it with a complete new exhaust system, aluminum radiator to keep it cool, and an engine dress up kit for looks. All of the original items that were upgraded, comes with the factory parts. The reason we left it with upgrades is because it runs way better this way.
