The car was delivered new in Wimbledon White (M5) with a blackout hood treatment. After the seller acquired the vehicle it was refinished in the early 2000s, and at that time the rear quarter panels and the floors were replaced due to rust. Features include red accent stripes, a front lip, a shaker hood scoop, hood pins, quarter-panel scoops, a rear wing, and dual exhaust outlets that terminate through the bottom of the rear valance.
Chrome-finished 14″ wheels have trim rings and hubcaps, and they are mounted with 245/60 BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. The car is equipped with power-assisted steering and front disc brakes, and coil springs have been added to the rear shock assemblies.
The car received Dark Red Clarion Knit vinyl upholstery (3D) when new, and it was redone during the early-2000s refurbishment. Features include woodgrain trim, a center console, and a Philco AM radio. The seller notes that the clock is inoperative.
A three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of instrumentation that includes a 120-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 41k miles, approximately 2k of which have been added by the seller. True mileage is unknown. The seller notes that the car left the factory with a tachometer-equipped dashboard, and the removed gauge cluster is pictured in the gallery below and included in the sale.
A replacement 428ci V8 with a 1968 date casting has been installed by the seller, and it is topped with a 735-cfm Holley carburetor that utilizes a manual choke. The seller notes that the alternator utilizes a single-belt pulley and that the intake snorkel, S-tube, and heat shield are missing.
Power is delivered to the wheels through a C6 three-speed automatic transmission and a 9″ rear axle with a Detroit Locker differential. Additional photos of the underside are presented in the gallery.
