Hi, what about this dash ?

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.


Is clock missing ?
What about dash grab handle and glove boxes doors?

Are door panel and seat original?

Thank you

It is missing a clock pod on the passengers side. Perhaps someone had a radio installed in this area. Radios are expensive. I'm unfamiliar with the "skirting" installed inside the opening

Glove box doors were a common accessory in the era, I'm not familiar with the exact type this car has....but they are look era correct.

Does the grab handle have a cast aluminum handle with a vinyl insert? It is not a factory part, but was a period accessory. Happich perhaps. Hopefully more pictures, or someone more knowledgeable on this will chime in

A few other observations:

Correct: steering wheel, switches, and the rear view mirror appear correct

Incorrect: shift knob is newer style, the carpet is a kit for a newer car. I believe the upholstery is an approximation of stock, but not quite original style.
