The fiberglass body is finished in red with matching coves and is said to have been repainted under prior ownership. Equipment includes a white convertible soft top, a body-color removable hardtop, chrome trim and accents, a driver’s side mirror, and “Fuel Injection” badges on the front fenders.
Replacement red-finished 15″ steel wheels wear factory-style spinner hubcaps and are mounted with BFGoodrich SilverTown Radial whitewall tires that are said to have been recently installed. Braking is provided by four-wheel drums. A spare set of steel wheels with tires is included in the sale and shown in the gallery below.
The interior features seats trimmed in red vinyl with textured inserts, which are complimented by a matching upper dash, door panels, and carpeting. Features include polished trim, crank windows, and a dash-mounted speaker. Paint chips are shown on the door thresholds, and the auto-tuning function of the Wonder Bar AM radio does not work.
A three-spoke steering wheel frames instrumentation that includes a 140-mph speedometer and a 6k-rpm tachometer. The five-digit odometer shows 66k miles, approximately 2,500 of which have been added under current ownership. True mileage is unknown.
The EL-code 283ci V8 was equipped from the factory with Rochester mechanical fuel injection as well as Hi-Lift cams and was rated at 283 horsepower when new.
A photo of engine-block stamping F702EL is shown above, signifying Flint, Michigan, production (F), a July 2nd build date (702), and the 283-horsepower fuel-injected specification (EL). The car’s chassis number indicates that it was assembled at the St. Louis plant in 1957. Stampings of the fuel injection housing and other components are viewable in the gallery.
