That's what caught my attention about this car. Those '70 - '72 non-AC bezels are like hens teeth. The average clone isn't likely to be fitted with one.

So it makes you wonder if the car was misbuilt at the factory, or "retrofitted" with A/C...

That's factory A/C. No doubt about that. And I'm pretty sure cruise control was not offered in those years, and if it was it certainly didn't have Resume.

is that the early dash panel? not sure because of the placement of the bird, early or later.

Nice car, but it looks like there is no carpet on the bottom of the door panels. Is that correct? Radio looks to be the older style with Delco in block letters, but it's hard to tell from the pictures.

The radio is the newer style, 1976 and later.
