Over the top restoration to better than factory new!
EXTERIOR: It is freaking phenomenal. Paint code 52- Garnett red and it looks far better then it did new. It is laser straight with glass finish. The jambs are meticulously painted. The fit is excellent. Every part of the exterior of this car is new-moldings, lenses, seals, weatherstrips, glass, grill, taillights antenna. Not only is it new but was installed properly. Has T-3 headlights, SS stripes and even correct antenna. New reproduction Polyglass tires on perfectly restored SS wheels. New white convertible fits like a drum. Top frame is restored.
INTERIOR: Completely restored to brand new, I mean completely new. Dash and the gauges, lenses, bezels, heater controls, dash pad, even the rearview mirror are brand new. The seat cushions are new so the upholstery fits tight and seats are firm. Even the seats brackets are new. Door panels, armrests, window cranks, handles, vents, seat backs- all new. Even the seat belts are new! Everything inside is factory correct except for upgraded digital retro stereo with aux cord. Has correct 6,500 redline tachometer used on L-78, correct Muncie shifter. Everything works down to the clock.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The L-78 was factory rated at 375 hp but dyno tests on a bone stock version is actually 425 hp! Every one came with a hot solid-lifter cam, 11.5:1 compression, big square-port heads with upsized 2.19 intake valves (the 1.72-inch exhaust valves remained), and cast aluminum high-rise intake manifolds with a big Holley carb. Because a solid lifter motor can rev higher they came with deep groove pulleys so the belts don t fly off. This one is completely restored and detailed. Has cadium plated brake booster, correct hoses and clamps, battery cables etc. New wiring. It is spotless!
