The model and attributes are right.
It's just a bit too perfect, probably due to modern lens quality.
Add a nylon stocking on the lens or some vaseline to get this typical  
70's soft look.
Shift the colours to (a more of) magenta to insert old 'chrome feeling.
That would be my suggestions.
Thanks for showing,
Philippe
