The fiberglass body was removed from the frame and repainted in Gypsy Red during the refurbishment according to the selling dealer. Features include a wraparound windshield, chrome bumpers and trim, headlight grilles, a covered rear license plate frame, and Chevrolet fender badging with an exaggerated gold “V” to denote the 265ci V8. The tan soft top is shown in its raised position above and in the gallery below, as are close-up photos of the body and trim.
Body-color steel wheels are equipped with chrome spinner-style hubcaps and 6.70-15″ wide-whitewall tires. The car rides on independent front suspension with coil springs as well as a live rear axle with leaf springs. Braking is provided by hydraulic four-wheel drums.
The cabin houses bucket seats and door panels trimmed with light beige upholstery accented with red stitching. Tan carpeting and floor mats line the floors, and the car is equipped with a dashboard-mounted rear-view mirror, a heater, and a push-button radio, the latter of which is inoperative.
The two-spoke steering wheel frames a sweeping 140-mph speedometer, and a tachometer mounted in the center of the dashboard is flanked by an analog clock and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer indicates 82k miles.
The 265ci V8 was rated at 195 horsepower when new and features cast exhaust manifolds and chrome treatments for the louvered air-cleaner assembly and valve covers. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a Powerglide two-speed automatic transmission.
The engine pad stamping includes the FG suffix, which corresponds with a 195-horsepower 265ci V8 engine for automatic-transmission applications.
