EXTERIOR – FEATURES

The burgundy metallic exterior of this vehicle underwent a restoration in 2015 and shows well throughout. Exterior features include ghost racing stripes, quad headlights, a cowl intake hood, chrome brightwork, and a driver-side mirror.

EXTERIOR – WHEELS AND TIRES

Aluminum 17-inch five-spoke wheels have been tastefully added, enhancing the vehicle's handling capabilities.

INTERIOR – FEATURES

The refurbished interior features modern saddle vinyl bucket seats in the front, accompanied by a bench in the rear. A matching dash pad adds a cohesive touch, complemented by contrasting black accents on the door panels, dash, and lap belts. Amenities such as floor mats, a Grant steering wheel, and a carpeted trunk enhance the overall comfort and appeal of the cabin. However, it's important to note that the seller has mentioned the emergency brake is currently disconnected.

INTERIOR – GAUGES

The interior boasts modernized instrumentation, featuring a speedometer, an 8,000-rpm tachometer, and additional auxiliary gauges for monitoring fuel level, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and voltage. The odometer currently displays 500 miles; however, the true mileage on the chassis remains unknown.

ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION

The 454cid big-block V8 engine has been modified, including being bored .030 over. Enhancements include a Comp Cams camshaft, roller rockers, ported and polished heads, an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, an aluminum intake manifold, Hedman headers, an MSD ignition system, and an electronic fuel pump. Recent maintenance service was performed. The engine's torque is directed to the rear wheels via a new floor-shifted Tremec five-speed manual transmission and a 12-bolt rear end with 3.73 gearing.

UNDERCARRIAGE

This vehicle features four-wheel disc brakes, providing reliable stopping power when needed.
