Grab bar shouldn't be there with standard interior.

The more I see this car, the more I like the interior color. Not better than say, black, or blue. But it really is a stand out in the field, where blue and black rule. If it was a floor shift it would be home run time.

Not knocking the car. Admiring it and seeing a few things. I do have a question though. Not an expert here. Is that the correct Pontiac dust cover under the Automatic Bell Housing for a '70 THM-400?
Never saw one like that. It looks plastic. Just want to learn.

That is the general consensus, however, my 1970 T/A with the blue standard interior has the dash with the handle. I would bet every penny I have it is original to the car.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/1965-1979-P...cAAOSwvLteW9~2 thought I would show it. You can get a real one for $45.00 @ Franks. or heck even eBay has listings for them.

Later 2nd Gens with Turbo 350's all had a plastic flex plate covers. Believe early T350's used a metal cover. All the metal covers here came off late 60's-early 70's T400's.

That's really a plain jane model. Not even a tinted windshield originally.
IMHO, there's a lot of quibbles there for $70 large. |

The rear interior panels, like many using NOS pieces, appear to be that dark blue plastic. |
