 |
|
I'm going to go take a look at what I've been told is a nearly complete Zwitter later this afternoon. Can someone please help me out with a list of a few things I should look for to identify it as correct - at least maybe some indicative OG parts, etc?
It's a ragtop, so should it be three-fold right? I know heart tail lights, semaphores, but batwing wheel? Ribbed trim? Anything unique about the dash?
Thanks, guys. |

You are correct. Remember the gas tank, early style with a small filler tube. Ribbed semaphores, speedo.... |

It has split turn signal indicators. The double arrow on the bottom is two separate arrows, if that makes sense.
EDIT: A picture, rather:

Semaphores might be grooved style. No knob on ashtray. Solid aluminum hood handle, but shaped like later "to '67" style. My fave: light switch has rectangular housing shape, instead of later concentric cylindrical style.
need......<gasp>.....pics....!
