Some forums says that the only remaining part left from the original car are the dashboard and the windshield.
I believe they would be correct. None of the exterior body panels are original. I know for a fact that this car had no interior either, except one front seat, the steering wheel and the dashboard back when I saw it in 2003. The driver's side door, the entire front grille, the tail light panel, and the original 'Vector' wheels have been missing from the car since 1978.
The car as it is today is a very nice representation of what it once was, but most of it isn't original anymore.
I don't understand car collectors and restorers. They seem to operate under the exact opposite ethic of movie prop collectors; that is, they replace body panels and use reproduction parts at the drop of a hat to make things look as new and shiny as possible, rather than preserving as much of the original as possible and living with some of the unavoidable ravages of time and "patina of age."
