The car left the factory finished in Candyapple Red (T5) and was repainted during the refurbishment. Features include a Shaker hood, a rear spoiler, black-out hood treatment, Mach 1 side and rear stripes, quarter-panel scoops, color-keyed mirrors, reverse lights, and a dual outlet exhaust that exits below the rear valance. Body panels were replaced during the refurbishment, and the window door felt does not fit well.
Chrome styled 14″ wheels wear beauty rings and polished hubcaps and are mounted with F70-14 Goodyear Polyglas white-letter tires. The car is equipped with power steering, and braking is handled by power-assisted front discs and rear drums. The parking brake does not work.
The cabin features front bucket seats and a folding Sport Deck rear seat upholstered in black vinyl with channeled inserts joined by a color-coordinated dashboard, door panels, and carpets. Features include faux woodgrain accents, a center console, a heater and defroster, polished door sills, and Mach 1-branded floor mats. Dynamat sound deadening is installed on the floor and trunk floor. The radio and clock do not work, and the heater diffuser is loosely attached.
The rim-blow steering wheel frames a 120-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for fuel level, and coolant temperature. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 62k miles.
The 428ci Super Cobra Jet V8 was rebuilt under previous ownership and was factory rated at 335 horsepower and 440 lb-ft of torque. There is a stain on the intake manifold as well as an oil leak.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a close-ratio four-speed manual transmission and a 3.91:1 Traction-Lok rear end. The rear axle whines on deceleration.
A photo booklet documenting various stages of bodywork can be viewed in the gallery.
