Let's see your top / interior.... custom....stock... whatever you've got.
I'm looking a picking one up & would like to see how various folks have finished them off.
I'll start it off with a few random pics from the gallery.

Mine is a 71 in Bahia Red which I think is a bit lighter than Cherry Red but it may give you some ideas. I don't think the tan top and interior were available from the factory - just Black top and seats.
The top is from Chuck's. Seats and interior are a package that Scat sells. Carpet is from Newton's. Radio is the original AM/FM Sapphire that has had the Retrosound conversion. Steering wheel is an Empi GT repro. AC is from Gilmores.

Your car is simply beautiful. Understated simplicity, allowing every component to shine (and be admired) on its own. (Very Zen, that.)
If Gilmores sold a RHD version of their aircon I would get one too. _________________ Festina lente - hasten slowly

This is my old vert, from the nineties. I had it sprayed in Porsche guards red.
