I kinda like the overall package, and the vintage looking tach is a nice touch. But lose all the shiny gee gaws under the hood and drop about $15,000 to $20,000.

I'm with you on everything you mentioned, but the incorrect high-gloss dash finish, bulging kick panels and speakers, and seat piping need to go as well.

Was there ever a time when T-bolt/spinner tall valve cover fasteners were cool? I don't ever remember one. :dgt:

I think it goes back to the late 50's & early 60's when most cars were running solid lifters. It made it a lot easier to set the lifters at the same time as new points, plugs & oil change every 2,000 miles. :doh:
