The fiberglass bodywork is finished in red with gold and white pinstripes and was reportedly repainted in the early 1980s. Exterior details include a body-color removable hardtop, a tan soft top, chrome bumpers and trim, fuel injection badging, and a hood that has been cut to accommodate the intake manifold. The selling dealer reportedly replaced the glass hardtop windows, and an area of abrasions is noted on the soft top.

The fiberglass bodywork is finished in red with gold and white pinstripes and was reportedly repainted in the early 1980s. Exterior details include a body-color removable hardtop, a tan soft top, chrome bumpers and trim, fuel injection badging, and a hood that has been cut to accommodate the intake manifold. The selling dealer reportedly replaced the glass hardtop windows, and an area of abrasions is noted on the soft top.
The 15” American Racing Torq Thrust wheels are mounted with M&H front tires and Radir drag slicks in the rear, all of which are said to have been installed by the selling dealer. Braking is through front discs and rear drums, and the car features a Speedway Motors solid front axle as well as a steering box sourced from a Corvair. The seller notes that the brakes have been serviced and a replacement master cylinder was installed.
The cabin houses bucket seats trimmed in black vinyl along with a matching dashboard, door panels, and color-coordinated carpets. A B&M shifter and an aftermarket AM/FM cassette stereo have been added.
A three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. An aftermarket 8,500-rpm tachometer is mounted atop the dash, though the glass lens is cracked. The five-digit odometer shows approximately 86k miles, and total mileage is unknown.
The replacement 454ci V8 was installed during the build around four decades ago and reportedly features Winters aluminum cylinder heads. Dual Holley 650-cfm carburetors are mounted to a Weiand tunnel-ram intake manifold, and the car is equipped with a dual exhaust system fed by tubular headers. Work carried out by the selling dealer is said to have included a tune-up, fluid changes, and installation of the carburetors, an MSD distributor, and replacement fuel pump.
