Factory accoutriments

lol, cool.

So in the glove box, all you got was a factory manual and a window sticker?

They handed those items to me -- glove box was empty.

There weren't many options on the Spider, but enough that you could personalize it.

Options I purchased on mine were: Leather seats (with the covered console, dash and arm rests), alloy wheels with Michelin tires (though I wanted the Pirellis). I have only seen one set of arm rests that had the sewn covers. I purchased a factory upholstered console off of Ebay and had one on my 81 new. They're way more durable than the molded vinyl.

Hope that helps.

I have at least three sets of leather wrapped arm rests in a box, we would get them from junkyard cars in the mid 90's. Seemed like junkyards had lots of Spiders back then. Anniversary edition cars had them stock, so that makes at least 500 sets minus the three I have (and I dismantled the entire cars, two totaled, one abandoned due to rust)

Do they look pretty much exactly the same as regular door pulls? I've searched the 50th anniversary cars online and cannot tell any difference.

They are the normal rests with a leather cover. So are the center consoles, the regular old vinyl thing wrapped in leather. Nothing fancy. Cheap leather, too.

I know a guy who can redo all of it with french seams, etc., as new. Not cheap, but god the work is awesome
