Location: Parts Unknown | Something does not add up in the trim vs. description department.
The Forward Look darts on the fin were Silver Special only. If the
car was a plain Plaza, it got the Plaza script. Yet, oddly, the car show
no sign of the other usual Silver Special trim. I am no expert on the
Silver Specials, but my observations of surviving cars is they always
got the unique side sweep trim, but the fender rub strips and side
sweep anodized inserts are not always present. The darts on the fin
are ALWAYS there.
Either this is a mix-n-match home brew build, or it is a very unusual
factory car. V-8 and 3-onda-tree, .... otherwise looks like a stripper.
I would have purposely not dressed up the door panels and rolled it
around on blackwalls with dog dishies to highlight the fact that this one
is from the bottom of the barrel. Make it stand out from the monotonous
fancy models. If the work was done right, they have more into it than
the asking price.

Location: The Mile High City | Doc, my guess is mix-and-match on this one, but you never know!
I'll also bet they have more into it than it is worth, such is the danger with our hobby!
-the seller has very good images of the car overall - except for the headliner.
I am curious if there is a headliner in the car or not! There does not appear to be a dome light, which is odd.

Pretty sure that there is a headliner. It is just BLACK.
The interior is terrible in my opinion. Black vinyl. Sure. Call 911 now. I'll be melting the skin off my thighs after parking it out side in the summer. LOL.

Location: Georgia | Yet another of my old cars for sale. Here is the thread when I sold her originally:

She's had a lot of work done since in my care, and I am happy to see she retains the no-trim look!

Also note the bump on the lower left side of the front bumper.

Location: Georgia | The interior was mostly original, the seats had been recovered a long time ago and were in need of recovering again. I had 2-toned
the steering wheel to match the color scheme of the interior.
