Originality/Correctness
: Car is nearly completely correct with proper GT mirror, badging, electrical, interior, etc. All parts that needed to be replaced were replaced with Swedish OEM parts- For you nit-pickers, the Canadian assembled cars did come with the Euro-spec wing mounted mirrors or fog and spot lights- Bumper over-riders and original clear/yellow turn signal lenses will come with the car.- Mild (and reversible) customizations are: aftermarket yellow fog lights and oil pressure gauge; and rear differential out of a '67 P1800 to upgrade this driver's car to 4 wheels disc brakes (restore to original Amazon rear diff for $300-500); Rear reflectors removed for smoother look (can be easily screwed back on, mounting bracket still there); Original grey/beige wheels painted black- Car was returned to original factory-ordered radio delete plate (put in a radio easily if you wish, wiring there from someone having a radio years ago, but I restored it to original)
Body/Exterior
: Body is in great shape, all found rust repaired immediately. There's not even any rust on the door bottoms (notorious on these cars). There are a few minor bubbles could be addressed around a wheel well but nothing major at all. Lines are very straight, no accidents. Doors close easily, no sag. Amazing survivors body. Really nice.- New floors 10 years ago- New rubber all around windows and doors- New Left rocker replaced last year- New headlight buckets and turn signal rubber gaskets- Headlight area rust repaired last year (and headlight buckets replaced with ABS plastic reproductions, to prevent issue from returning)- Chrome on bumpers is orginal and going spotty, no rust though, just 50 years of over-zealous polishing... re-chrome or replace easily (6 bolts per bumper... these cars a pleasure to work on)
