Hi Marlin, I spoke too soon. I was looking at the options and did not see the upgraded interior. The trim tag is the 732 interior so like you said it would be best to leave everything alone. The rest of the options are:
B-37 Front and rear mats, G-80 Posi rear end, J-50 Power brakes, J-52 Front disc brakes, L-78 396 Special performance motor, M-22 Heavy duty close ratio trans, PK-6 E70-14 Redline tires, U-25 Luggage lamp, U-26 Underhood lamp, U-28 ash tray lamp, U-29 Courtesy lamp instrument panel, U-35 Electric clock, U-63 AM radio, U-80 Auxiliary rear speaker, V-48 Engine coolant-increased protection, ZJ-1 Custom interior (got to get glasses), ZJ-9 Auxiliary lighting group, ZK-8 Label tire pressure, ZL-3 Fisher body SS conversion, ZQ-7 Canadian warranty book, Z-26 Super sport package and W-84 Additional fuel for delivery.
Hey the car does not list exterior trim. Does the standard window trim look the same as the polished aluminum trim but it is painted body color? Does anybody know where to get seat track extenders for a bench seat?

congrats on the L78. it looks awesome. I was hoping that I got beat out by someone on this site. the owner said he had someone coming Sat A.M., I'm glad it was you. You guys are lucky that the Trader comes out on Thursday down there, we get it Friday via Pony Express.

Jeff when he told me about somebody that owned a farm from Salinas that made a point of pronouncing his last name clearly I thought it might be you. Are you still looking for a 32 ford? A buddy of mine told me last night about a 32 ford 3-window for $45k in the mid-west states that is being advertised in some old car magazine. It has a 305, original body, glass fenders and solid steel wheels. Private mail me if you want more information.

Mark,

I am still looking for a steel 32...when Boyd's builds still carried some clout 10 years ago I had my wishlist set on a 3w...now that times have changed, something about an "Old School" looking 5w really does something for me. I keep getting sidetracked on finding a Hot Rod when all of these awesome muscle cars keep popping up. I did found an really nice 32 Vicky but I think it's out of my $ range. it's funny you mentioned me pronouncing my last name...I heard his voice message and the last part was in Japanese and I thought it may help...LOL. Once again, congrats on a really cool L-78, it looks FANTASTIC! are you heading down to the B-J next month?

Hi Jeff, To be honest I found the ad on the internet. If you still want a 396/375 there is the black automatic with a build sheet down in San Diego. It looks like a nice car and the guy has had it for sale for awhile at $45k. He would not budge on the price when I talked to him about 6 weeks ago but maybe things have changed now. The silver car is nice but it is not perfect with a few things wrong. I learned my lesson on not looking at cars before I buy them so when I was interested in a car from out of my area I had to factor in the flight and transportation. So the silver car started making sense in the long run. I have never had the chance to go to the auctions yet. I have to wait till my kids are a little older before I can go. I will be watching it on TV.

thanks for the lead on the blk/blk car, still hoping I'll find the right 32 5W.
