The car left the factory finished in Dresden Blue (24) with an Alabaster Gray (12) roof, and it was refinished in its current satin black with a gloss-black roof under current ownership. Features include a one-piece windshield, tail fins, a hood ornament, a chrome grille and bumpers, bright trim, hooded headlamps, rear fender skirts, drip rails, a fuel filler concealed in the driver-side taillight, and a dual exhaust system that exits through the tapered extensions of the rear bumper. The seller reports that rust is present on the inside of the bumpers and that rust neutralizer has been applied to areas of the inner bumpers that can be reached without removal. The windshield wipers are missing, and the seller reports that the glass was replaced as part of the refurbishment.
Steel 15″ wheels wear polished Cadillac covers and whitewall tires that were reportedly mounted within the past year. The car is equipped with power steering, and braking is handled by power-assisted front discs and rear drums. The brake booster and master cylinder were reportedly rebuilt in September 2022, at which time the rear air springs were replaced and rear QA1 hydraulic shocks were installed.
The refurbished cabin features front and rear bench seats trimmed in white leather and sueded black cloth with diamond-patterned contrast stitching complemented by matching kick panels, black and white door panels, and black carpeting. A black sueded cover with contrast stitching is attached to the dash top above the instrument panel, and the lower dashboard and glovebox feature red and white pinstriping that was handpainted by Hisashi Ushida of Cholo’s Custom in Nagoya, Japan. Additional equipment includes a heater, a power-adjustable front bench seat, power windows, crank vent windows, an analog clock, and an aftermarket radio. The seller notes that the turn signals do not self-cancel.
The two-spoke steering wheel features a chrome horn ring and fronts a 110-mph speedometer and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. An aftermarket horn has been installed. The five-digit odometer shows just under 44k miles, approximately 2k of which have been added under current ownership. True mileage is unknown.
The 331ci V8 is said to have been overbored .040″ during the rebuild and features a four-barrel carburetor and an oil-bath air cleaner. The car’s electrical system was reportedly replaced with an American Autowire 12-volt system under current ownership, and the seller states that oil, transmission fluid, and coolant changes were performed in September 2022.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Hydra-Matic four-speed automatic transmission. The seller notes that the transmission’s downshifting function requires adjustment. The frame has been powdercoated black.
Records of the 2006–2012 refurbishment will accompany the vehicle.
