I have one of these, just found out the taillights are Mercury Capri, 79-82, though I believe some mustang lights will fit.
I doubt this is a ‘74, I don’t think the 2nd Gen Sebrings were available before ‘82 (or maybe later)

Barry,
Like almost all older kits, there just aren’t any parts available in terms of body parts, glass and interiors. The Sebring that you bought is considered the “Turbo” with the deeper cut canopy, and just about the only items that you’ll be able to find for it new are the windshield and the side windows, as they are shared with the Sterling. I’m going to say that with a caveat – the first generation cars had shared glass, I’m not entirely certain about this style car. If you can send me measurements in a PM to me, I can confirm that replacement glass will fit if you need it.
Everything else will need to be sourced or created by you. The sunroof is a PO modification; the taillights look like Mustang II lights.

The Sebring was an attempt to make a sort of “upgraded” Sterling, so it included stuff like this.

was a pop-up headlight an option? I’d not seen a Sterling with one before.

Sadly, I’m waay to far away to consider this:(
