This is the view when you open the driver's door. Looks pretty ratty with the upholstery and carpet but those are easily replaced.

This would be your sight when you get out of the car from the driver's seat. This window doesn't roll down, it's jammed in place. Probably because the remote mirror cable is in the way, as you can see it isn't where it should be. The armrest soft part needs redone as well but the panel is in good overall shape and will clean up nice.

Here is a general view of the dash and steering wheel. Column shift automatic, and I took off the silly red flaming steering wheel cover. The wheel underneath is heat stressed but not coming apart thankfully! No clock, no tach, no gauges. I want the Fuel Sentry Vacuum Gauge for that blank panel on the right. Wish me luck finding one, I don't know how many were fitted originally. Otherwise I'll put some generic vacuum gauge in there, probably a VDO, and make my own face for it to match the Torino speedometer font. Tall skinny numbers, the way it should be.

87500 miles which I believe to be original. It could be 187500 but it doesn't matter. Could be 387500 for all I care. I love these gauges, the tall skinny font, curved around all the way. Simple and classy.

Original Philco AM radio with 5 pushbuttons and 2 knobs. Seems to operate perfectly but I want to adjust the trimmer.

Here are the controls for the lights and air conditioning. I'll try and restore the AC controls and get a new "transmission warning" sticker.

The glovebox door is damaged, rivets came out, latch still works but it won't hold it in. I took the door off and will be looking for another that doesn't have stripped holes for the hinges. No owner's manual, I'll use my '75 one for now.
