@perrone1 ...that matches.  Often these paint jobs have doors that are darker, or the hood doesn't match.   This one looks pretty good - even with those sky-high buckets.  😏

Yeah, what up with those seats and head rests?

I hate doors that don't match - too many times with Mint 1:24th scale cars, it was due to painting the cars and then the doors at a different time, prior to assembly. I hate it.

IMHO the '70 Roadrunner was a design that was the epitome of "muscle"; everything that came after paled by comparison.

@chris Those are the one piece high back bucket seats, Auto World made them just a little to high but even the actual cars that have them the bucket seat backs are very high as well. 

Here is a photo of the high back bucket in the car.

@john3976  Correct, they were "sky-high"  on 1:1 cars, but Autoworld (HW61 ) did reproduce them to be too high; they're almost touching the headliner on your Plymouth but look just a bit better in my Dodge.  😬 😬   

They could be fixed, but I can live with it.   I have other fish to fry...     😏 😏 😏
