I just had brand new carpet and leather seat covers installed. I also had a modern stereo system w/ipod connection installed underneath the AC unit (ipod connection in the glove box). The vintage (although not original) Becker radio is still connected to it's single speaker on the dash. I'm planning on having the wood refinished throughout and re-painting eventually (possibily even a clor change). AC is not connected, although I have all original parts - so, that is anothe rproject to come.
What's more, the car is equipped w/a 4-speed manual transmission on the column, making it very fun and pretty unique by today's standards.
I'm in Mar Vista (near West LA). I'm open to a meet up. Let me know
