Upper Door panels and the pull straps are incorrect and the lowers are definitely 73-76. Bezel is correct but the rings should be chrome, not black. Steering wheel has been re-covered. Power window switch is definitely in the wrong spot. Seatbelts are a mess too, '70 had the two-buckle system and the plastic tangs on the console where you stored the buckles are missing. Lots of weird stuff in the engine bay for a 2400 mile car. Aftermarket "spinner" valve cover bolts. Engine color doesn't like right or has it just gotten dull over the years? Chrome air cleaner base and A/C brackets. Autozone terminals on the battery cables. White washer fluid jar with a blue cap? Hood bumper rubber missing. Is that the tire pressure decal on the underside of the decklid? I thought that was supposed to be on the inside of the glove box door. Functional flap missing from the shaker scoop.

Not criticizing the car, it actually looks pretty good and I'd overlook all the little stuff above for the right price. I've seen this TA on ebay once already and they wanted quite a bit for it. Just challenging myself to see what' wrong with it.
