If they're going on a 260, you could potentially get 15x5 or 15x6 wheels from Vintage Wheels with pin drive adapters:

I was lucky enough to pick up a set of Torq Thrust wheels with spline drive wheel adapters. The front are 15x6 with -22mm offset, and the rear are 15x7 with -9.5mm offset.

I haven't see any kidney bean or FIA wheels that use spline drive inserts/adapters, but was looking at these FIA wheels that would likely fit a 289 pretty well. They'd probably still stick out beyond the flares of a 260, if that's what you're looking to put them on:

Hope this is helpful.

I didn't see the Mercury Monterey mentioned specifically yet, but the tail lights look to me like they're from a Monterey's outer tail lamp, cut down a bit shorter and rotated 90 degrees.

Does anyone happen to have good photos, or possibly a source for the material that was typically used for hardtop headliner? The only photos I could find are of CSX 2416, which only show a small part of the liner. Also no idea whether the fabric here is original to this top. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!
