Factory-correct Twilight blue with white convertible top over Astro Blue vinyl
Powered by 455-cI, V-8 engine paired with a close-ratio, four-speed, manual transmission
To put all that power to the pavement and keep the chassis in check, the W-30 package included a close-ratio, four-speed manual transmission with 3.08:1 final drive ratio, an Anti-Spin rear axle, front disc brakes, sway bars fore and aft, and meaty, white-letter tires on 14-inch wheels. A fiberglass hood was also part of the W-30 package; it saved 18 pounds over the standard steel version and featured dual air intakes. Meanwhile, an aluminum intake manifold, differential carrier, and cover, plastic inner fender liners, and less sound-deadening material further reduced weight.
