The fiberglass body is finished in Marlboro Maroon (988AA) and features split chrome bumpers, aluminum rocker-panel moldings, fender gills, and dual exhaust outlets with chrome tips that extend through the rear valance. The headlight motors have been rebuilt, and the rotating headlights are photographed both open and closed in the gallery below. Close-up images of the aged soft top and finish flaws that include chips, nicks, checking, and cracks are also pictured.

The fiberglass body is finished in Marlboro Maroon (988AA) and features split chrome bumpers, aluminum rocker-panel moldings, fender gills, and dual exhaust outlets with chrome tips that extend through the rear valance. The headlight motors have been rebuilt, and the rotating headlights are photographed both open and closed in the gallery below. Close-up images of the aged soft top and finish flaws that include chips, nicks, checking, and cracks are also pictured.
15″ Rally wheels refinished under current ownership are fitted with Firestone Deluxe Champion redline tires. During a rebuild of the brakes, the calipers and master cylinder were sleeved with stainless steel, and the lines were replaced.
The cabin features black vinyl bucket seats with matching dash pads, door panels, and carpeting. Brushed-aluminum trim adorns the console and the glovebox door. Amenities include a clock, ventilation controls, and a vertically mounted Delco AM/FM radio in the center stack. The clock, radio, and speaker have been rebuilt during current ownership.
A woodgrain steering wheel fronts a 160-mph speedometer and a 7k-rpm tachometer flanked by gauges for oil pressure, coolant temperature, voltage, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows just over 35k miles, approximately 300 of which were added by the seller.
The 327ci V8—which was rebuilt under current ownership—came equipped with a single Holley four-barrel carburetor and was rated at 300 horsepower and 360 lb-ft of torque when new. The water pump, distributor, carburetor, alternator, and starter were rebuilt during the engine overhaul, and the battery and battery cables were replaced. A replacement fuel pump, fuel lines, and Chevrolet fuel tank have been installed, and the removed tank is included in the sale. A start-up video provided by the seller includes a view of the instruments and a look under the hood with the engine running.
The engine stamping includes the sequence 103316, which matches the last six digits of the vehicle’s serial number. The HE suffix corresponds with a 327ci/300hp V8 engine paired with a four-speed manual transmission.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through an M20 four-speed manual transmission and a Positraction rear end with a 3.36:1 final gear ratio. The clutch, pressure plate, and throwout bearing were replaced during the refurbishment, as was the dual exhaust system. The photo above and others in the gallery below show chassis, suspension, brake, steering, and drivetrain components and also underbody corrosion.
The order copy recovered from the factory fuel tank shows the order number, the date on which it was received, the original scheduled date of production, and the factory colors and options.
The trim tag provides the following production details:
