The left side looks like the L/R door has the trim, and the rest has the holes filled. the right side has the trim except for the R/R door.

The antenna does look like an after market. enlarging the picture, it lloks like it has a spring on the bottom.

The body does look well preerved for the age, maybe the Classic Center in Irvine needs to grab this one.
