Fact check this but for 1970 RAV I have the number as 546071, 1969 was 546090 so it appears correct.

After all the work of completing the conversion of my in dash clock, I see that this is all I had to do! All you need is a crappy old timepiece and an even crappier housing.

The custom grill is a nice touch.

I don't know what motivated the style and I don't particularly like it...but dang, that's some pretty impressive fabrication work.

That's a good looking car. Would have been a very nice LeMans.

Tempest didn't have the ribbing, they were just painted metal.
