Finished from the factory in Nightmist Blue (K), the car was repainted in 2015 by Dalton Auto Restoration of Floyd, Virginia following replacement of the cowl along with rust repairs in the floor pans and rear quarter panels. Factory-style white stripes were applied to the lower body, and additional work included re-chroming brightwork pieces and bumpers, along with replacing the GT emblems, hood molding, headlight wiring harness, windshield washer assembly, and wiper motor and arms. Photos taken during the bodywork process are visible in the gallery below.
Reproduction styled 14″ steel wheels are wrapped in 235/60 BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. Braking is handled by front discs and rear drums. Work performed during the refurbishment process included replacing the rear shackles along with the brake hydraulic cylinders, shoes, drums, lines, and parking cables.
The cabin features front bucket seats and a rear bench upholstered in blue vinyl. Amenities include an aftermarket audio system, a floor shifter, and a center console. The heater box was repaired and the core was replaced during the refurbishment. The interior panels, carpets, and headliner were also replaced at that time, along with the lower dashboard brightwork, lap belts, window handles, and more as viewable on records provided in the gallery.
The wood-rimmed steering wheel frames a 120-mph speedometer and a fuel level gauge. Aftermarket Equus instrumentation mounted to the underside of the dashboard display readouts for battery voltage, oil pressure, and water temperature. The five-digit odometer has reportedly rolled over once and currently shows 15k miles.
The 390ci S-code V8 is said to have been rebuilt by the seller in the late 1990s at which time the crankshaft was machined by .010″ and the cylinders bored .030″ over. The engine was overhauled again in 2018 by Baldwin Performance of Christianburg, Virginia, with work including rebuilding the Holley four-barrel carburetor, performing a three-angle valve job, installing a Lunati Voodoo camshaft and Pertronix electronic ignition, and replacing the pistons, timing chain assembly, rocker arms, bearings, oil pump, freeze plugs, distributor, fuel pump, and starter. The engine is equipped with a stainless-steel dual exhaust system and a factory-style dress-up kit consisting of a polished air cleaner and valve covers.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a 10-bolt top plate Borg Warner four-speed manual transmission and rear end with a 3.25:1 gear ratio. The transmission was rebuilt and the clutch and shifter linkage were replaced during the engine overhaul in 2018.
