Thanks everyone. The broadcast sheet shows 14" rallye wheels, which if I could find a very nice set. Finding nice trim rings and taking a chance on old rims plus the cost of shipping isn't worth it. I've thought about 15" magnums w/black wall tires. I would also mention, the car had new MP leaf springs installed and to my liking, they're too high. need to get different ones.

The original carpet is still very nice for 43 years old

Try flipping the front spring perches. Should drop the stance without affecting the ride. Or, you could buy The Firm Feel perches which have an extra hole drilled so you can lower the rear.
