17K original miles. Yeah, sure, right..    But a nice solid very desirable air 4 speed car. I found at least 57 things wrong with the car including missing parts, incorrect suspension parts. blocks under the rear axle to lower it to the height it should have been at factory(usually cars sag with age not get taller). Cars like this helps me hone my future judging skills.

That's a very nice looking 70 - I think most people would be very happy with it.

I'd be happy with it for the right price. Very nice and what appears to be a solid car.

Nice car, love the Charlie Brown magic pumpkin (competition red?) orange color !

Is there some kind of additional trim around the clutch pedal pad?

Yes something like this

The lower picture shows some additional material beyond the stainless trim ring. Is that factory? Never seen one like that before...

It looks like the rubber pad is slipping off of the metal peddle and what you are seeing is the edge of the underlaying metal peddle.

I'm not very familiar with '69-70s, so just a question: 

On these cars, is it difficult to get the angle of the front turn signals and fog lamps to line up with each other?  This car has straight fog lights, but the turn signals are Marty Feldman wonky.

I have seen the opposite (level turn signals, wonky fog lights) on others.

fog lamps you can adjust any way you want because of the "round" mounting hardware and square washers. The parking lamps holes are drilled in the fiberglass and mounted to it so dependent on how someone drilled them(templates when new?) would have the end effect. if looking down  at an angle the front valance juts out going towards the center and is that the look you are seeing? this original car is a ref.

Me thinks the parking lights are on the wrong side...

Carroll Shelby personally installed them on this car for the previous owner, he stated they looked better that way
