This gorgeous paint covers the original rust-free body and the fiberglass trunk, hood, and fenders. All the stainless trim is perfect including the grill and chrome bumpers. Inside is all correct including Bostrom bucket seats upholstered in correct gold vinyl, mounted on powder coated seat brackets on correct rubber floor mat. The dashboard is the correct color with the radio and heater delete plate. All window sash and interior metal is the correct color and perfect.

The engine is partnered with a Toploader 4-Speed Manual Transmission and Ford 9inch Rear End. This is a beautiful Thunderbolt Tribute any collector or enthusiast would love to own. When Hubert Platt sat in the car to sign the dash, he asked what number it was. (He thought it was a real one)!
