The bucket seats are upholstered in tan with cloth inserts.

Additional features include a  Mercury Cougar XR7 steering wheel, a tilt steering column, engine-turned dashboard inserts, a Vintage Air Mark IV climate control system, and an older CB radio and an AM/FM/cassette stereo. The interior of the trunk compartment is fully upholstered and matches the cabin interior. The seller notes that the air conditioning system does not cool and is believed to be low on freon.

INTERIOR - GAUGES

A 120-mph speedometer, a 6K-rpm tachometer, a clock, and gauges for the fuel level, amps, coolant temperature, and oil pressure are located ahead of the driver. The odometer reads 38,700 miles, which the seller believes to be accurate for the drivetrain, but the true mileage on this vehicle is unknown.
