what an awesome car. I'm wondering if this is the proverbial Holy Grail or a clone. Did you talk to the owner at all? back seat? f code original to the car?
Was the interior stock design?
I've been going back and forth for years on a wheel decision...keep going back to Torque Thrusters or a close knockoff if a better backspacing is available...This car seals it for me. Can you beat that look?
I can do this, I can do this, I, well, maybe

Didn't get a chance to visit with the owner or get back to look the car over closely.  It is a vehicle that I am sure I will see again as it is a Kansas car.  I think that I was so overcome with the engine that I didn't really examine the rest of the car.

Rich, back when I was in HS the look in my area was 14'' torque thrusts on the front usually no wider than 6'' and then as wide a 15''  chrome wheel out back (with or w/out a dog dish hubcap). Imitating the drag look of the day. Either combination is hard to beat. And it easily went a step further by replacing the rear bumper with a 2-3'' pipe with capped ends.

And then off course fender well headers or cutouts, roll bars etc....  if the look was to be taken further.
