Painted beautiful Glacier blue within India ivory roof. We have the Dupont paint codes It has a very glossy clearcoat finish. It's polished so nice it looks like you could reach your arm right into it. Every piece of exterior chrome and trim has either been restored like new or replaced. The front bumper is completely smooth, there's no seams or bumper bolts. The rear bumper is indented, correct for a wagon. It is dressed up with optional accessory trim.

It has a reproduction steering wheel that is a couple inches smaller. The instrument area and chrome trim looks new. A retro stereo fits right in the factory hole. The shift indicator was updated to match the Turbo 350 automatic.
