Great acquisition Steve! I love body-colored matching interiors.

Some minor advice:
1) Leave the hood unlatched and unpinned when it's stored. Otherwise the fiberglass hood will bow in the middle - similar to the dreaded hood bow on the Firebirds with the fiberglass Formula hood.
2) Very Important on Mopars with body colored engine compartments: if that is a lead/acid original style repro battery, get rid of it immediately and get the sealed AGM version. The acid vapors that vent out the top will permanently stain the red paint on the inner fenders around the battery and get absorbed by the fiberglass hood.
