The engine pics have M/T valve covers. However, I've been changing the car back to mostly stock look (not paint). That's why the current engine bay pics of engine look different. I removed headers, replaced valve covers with new ones, etc. Yes, it's an alum rad and wrong window washer bottle, and has a heater hose block off valve. But if a person wanted to, these are easier fixes. Interior looks totally stock setup, except needs correct dual seat belts (shoulder harness) off of floor hump. The radio is one of those digital blue tooth ones. Works. If you wanted to go stock looking, would need to add original radio and antenna back. You can buy new front bumper (don't think rear is avail as a repop) or re-chrome the ones on it and it would look pretty close to a burnt orange car.
For me, it would be too expensive in my opinion to paint it back to original blue But in this color and look, for some reason this car actually gets more attention and thumbs up driving it around and at car shows than the rare 71 GTX I had. I can only think it's the paint look. I would consider trades upwards towards E body 70-71. But not projects.
