I could almost live with the seats if I didn't hate that interior color. But the wing makes it a hard pass for me. Not a bad car otherwise though.

The wing is lower than an original, so does that mean the trunk lid will smack it if you're not careful? work

Loose the velour, the K-mart mirrors, and the wing, it's really not bad.

Curing the goofy seat covers is relatively easy - just gotta wait forever - but curing the wing won't be cheap.
Bummer (IMO) that so much of the restoration is nice, but the guy (maybe a subsequent owner ?) was compelled to make it weird.
Guess the guy never noticed that the right HL bezel is Bel/Sat & not RR ? Or that the rad support should be blacked out...

I wonder what the chances are the seats were just covered over and the original material is underneath? (If I remember correctly JCWhitney had 'kits' like that..)

I am kind of partial to it mainly because this car. It was a team car that my dad raced with back in the 70's. Original owner owned this car and the 70 duster my dad raced. This car lived this way until about 10 years ago when it was restored to original condition. Last I knew it only had around 11,000 miles on it. at one point the guy Topside bought his low mile RR from owned this one too. Yes it is an original A12 car too.
