    That was a dealer job? I've seen quite a few cars like that, with the base door cards + the 60's style gang switches. I always thought that was fact-ree...

                maybe available both as a dealer up-fit and factory with the same switches? Dunno, it just looks very much like an afterthought.

                      Whats cool is the vintage sunpro digital gauge pack that was fitted in place of the drivers side dash vent.

                        Missed the gauges. That's a nice setup for the space.

                          Yeah those gauges look really nice there. Definitely one of the cleaner locations I've seen on these cars.

                            When I see something done cleanly like that I like to imagine that the car has lived a good life while under that persons watch.

                                I think this one is for no strips. Buyer needs to verify with Ford.
