The fenders were reportedly replaced and refinished to match the blue and white bodywork shortly after the car was acquired by the seller’s father in 2012. Details include a white power-operated soft top, hooded headlights, a “hood bird” ornament, a driver-side A-pillar spotlight, and a passenger-side mirror as well as chrome trim on the bumpers, side spears, rocker panels, light surrounds, and grille. Additional work completed in the early 2010s included powder-coating the convertible top frame and replacing the convertible top, windshield wiper motor, trunk and door weather seals, fuel cap, and headlights. Images showing paint imperfections and a crack in the windshield are provided in the gallery.
Blue-painted 15″ steel wheels wear full covers and are mounted with 205/75 Coker Classic whitewall tires. The car features power steering as well as power-assisted front disc brakes and rear drums that were reportedly rebuilt in the early 2010s. Additional work said to have been completed at that time included installing tubular control arms and replacing the sway bars, front and rear springs, and shocks.
The front and rear bench seats are upholstered in white and blue vinyl and are complemented by a color-coordinated floor liner and door panels. Interior features include a heater, Bel Air-branded rubber floor mats, vent windows, door panel armrests, lap belts for four occupants, sun visors, and a glovebox. Work completed in the early 2010s reportedly included chrome-plating the dash trim as well as replacing the radio, analog clock, heater controls, wiper switch, and pedals.
The three-spoke steering wheel features a full horn ring and fronts a 110-mph speedometer with readouts for fuel level and coolant temperature. An AutoMeter tachometer is mounted beneath the dashboard, and the fuel level sending unit, speedometer gear, and speedometer cable were replaced in the early 2010s. The five-digit odometer shows 1,300 miles. Total mileage is unknown.
The 265ci V8 is finished in orange with a black air cleaner assembly. Work completed as part of the 2012 refurbishment reportedly included rebuilding the carburetor and distributor, repairing the oil pan drain, and replacing the radiator core, negative battery cable, ignition wires, coolant overflow tank, oil pressure sending unit, accessory drive belt, thermostat, and fuel pump. The seller notes the car was started in July 2023 following three years of storage.
