<VV> Red vent knobs, red instrument cluster

[J R Read_HML]

So far as I can tell, there is no horn ring on the steering wheel, just the 
center horn button which - if I'm interpreting the picture correctly - just 
barely shows on the left edge.  Where's BH - master of Stock items?  I agree 
that the "white glove" picture is a 500.

Alan, maybe you can find it and get the clock.  It will fit a Monza!
