Stunning.  Perhaps your car can take the lead in a remake of the Phantasm Movie series.   :2thumbs:

If it didn't come with a vinyl top, I wouldn't install one.   :nono:   :2cents:

Yeah, I am trying to match the build sheet and it was only a double black car from the factory, not triple black with vinyl top. In fact, had I found the build sheet before I replaced the cruddy wheels it had when I bought the car, I probably would have done dog dishes and black wheels as the car had originally (They probably stayed on the car about a day after the dealer delivered it). But I bought Year One reproduction rallye wheels and correct Polyglass tires (they look cool but certainly don't perform like radials). Original 15" wheels and correct hubcaps for that car are now pretty expensive, so I won't be changing the rallye wheels, which I have always liked the looks of anyhow.

Yes. I don't exactly know why somebody would order the front without the elasto rear bumper also, but that was an available option and is how it came. Also came with chrome racing mirrors. Got an NOS driver's one a few years back, but those of you who have looked for an NOS passenger's one know those are really rare and expensive. Fortunately they aftermarket a pretty good passenger's one now, so that is what I put on the car.
