    Pretty well-equipped for one of these. I spy a couple of hangy things under the dash - a cassette player, and something else, don't know what.

    Does the Di-Noc look non-factory to anyone? Well done though......

    Trailer brake controller on the left side and possibly a CB behind the right side of the steering wheel? Something else (cassette maybe) on the far right?

    Yeah, now I'm seeing four items!
    Left to right:
    - Left of column - trailer brake controller
    - Right of column, lower tip just visible under right horn pad - unknown - maybe CB?
    - Further right - Cassette player?
    - Further right - Larger 'box' with vents (?). Have no idea what this one it. Shouldn't be A/C, since wagon has factory A/C - vents in dash.

    Not a bad translation.

    Sould be: "Needs brakes and eventually the carpet"

    Should be: "A deal not to be missed for an AMC or large station wagon enthusiast"

    I wasn't worried about being grammatically correct, as it was more of a literal translation; but I find that the Bing translator is hands-down better than the Google garbage.

    It could be an in-car warmer..........you plug it in along with your block heater (some folks live in areas where this is important for part of the year :49:)
