The exterior black lacquer is all original. I decided to leave it as is for that derelict look. There are faded spots on the roof and hood. However, the interior was completely reupholstered in a beautiful burnt orange and cream vinyl with matching burnt orange carpet. The dash, window surrounds, steering wheel and all knobs were painted with a computer matched cream color. The seat belts are burnt orange with chrome aviation style lift buckles.The following is a list of everything that has been done elsewhere on this classic:A new exhaust system was installed and converted to true dual pipes with Porter Mufflers and chrome tips.A new fuel filter installed along with a new flexible fuel line from the firewall.A passive in-line fuel filter was also installed just north of the fuel tank.A professionally refurbished original Holley carb from Mercuryland was installed.An excellent custom Mattson Aluminum Radiator was installed with new hoses after a total system, day-long, flush was performed.An electric push fan was installed with a toggle switch wired under the dash. Brand new set of Diamondback 3" Wide White Radials were installed.Brand new headlamps were installed.The trunk handle has been re-chromed.New red Mercury emblems were installed in the hood and trunk chrome.A new ignition coil was installed.Custom made all steel fender skirts were attached.A fusible link was installed on the main electrical cable.A new rubber seal was installed around the back window glass.
