    Good catch! I re-read Paul's description of the car and he mentioned that the back window was from a Mustang. I initailly thought the tail panel had a glass insert. :oops:

    There are some interior differences also. Some have buckets and a center console with a clock. I saw one with the radio installed where the A/C vent is next to the ash tray.
