Matt, can you tell me what the black box on the drivers door next to the courtesy light does?

I’m guessing it plays music and isn’t original.

I did notice the radio was missing. And some of the wood applique is lifting and or missing, is it readily available?

No wood in ‘68, it was a light bronze color instead or are we no longer talking about this car.

Talking about the same car. just thought that the wood grain detail was not showing up in the photos. See that a piece above the glove box is missing and that the trim mounted to the glove box is lifting or bent cant tell from photo.

This just looks like a later ornament.

Looks like the upper piece is resting on top of the piece on the glove box door.

 

[detmatt]

Another.

I see it now. Also can see that the black box is a aftermarket door speaker as seen on the passenger door.

Not a shining example but one from our own pages.

I thought it might be, did it have the hood ornament when you bought it? @nitoh

I'm no expert on the 74-75 hood ornaments, but those in your pics Matt, kinda look like 64-66 to me.
