The fiberglass body was refinished in Roman Red during a body-off refurbishment when it was owned by the former National President of the National Corvette Restorer’s Society. The car is equipped with a black convertible top, a body-colored hardtop, chrome bumpers, rocker panel trim, and a driver-side mirror.
Black 15″ steel wheels wear spinner-style covers and are fitted with 205/75 Firestone FR380 whitewall radial tires. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel drum brakes.
Bucket seats are upholstered in black vinyl and accompanied by a matching dashboard, door panels, and carpets. Amenities include a dash-mounted rearview mirror, an analog clock, lap belts, and a Wonderbar push-button AM radio.
The three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and auxiliary gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, voltage, and oil pressure. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 98k miles, approximately 100 of which were added under current ownership.
The numbers-matching 327ci Turbo-Fire V8 was factory rated at 340 horsepower. The oil and filter have been changed in preparation for sale.
A photo of the engine stamping shows the sequence 102182, which matches the last six digits of the VIN. Suffix code RE on the right indicates a 340 horsepower 327ci V8 with a four-barrel carburetor and hi-lift cams paired with a manual transmission.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a positraction rear axle with 3.70:1 gearing.
In 2009 the car received NCRS Top Flight Awards at Chapter and Regional meets as well as the National Meet.
