The body came from the factory finished in Powder Blue (F) and was repainted in the current shade of blue during the refurbishment following rust repair and replacement of a quarter panel. Features include rear-hinged rear doors, a driver-side mirror, and bumpers that were re-plated at CustomChrome Plating of Grafton, Ohio. Aftermarket headlights and sequential rear turn signals have been added, the windshield and weather seals were replaced, and the rocker panel moldings and various badges have been removed. The right rear window glass is missing. The seller notes that the high-beam headlights cannot be switched off, and the power antenna remains in the raised position.
The power-operated black convertible top was fitted with a replacement canvas cover in 2015. Service in September 2022 included rebuilding the upper gear drive and replacing the upper aluminum end caps and stainless-steel limit switch center spindle.
Bonspeed 20″ Palisade polished billet aluminum wheels are mounted with 245/45 front and 275/40 rear BFGoodrich g-Force Sport Comp-2 tires. Braking is provided by power-assisted front discs and rear drums. Suspension modifications include RideTech StrongArms lower front A-arms, a Mobsteel four-link rear conversion, and an AccuAir airbag system with electronic leveling. The driveshaft tunnel was raised to accommodate the car’s lower stance.
The interior features two rows of bench seating that were reupholstered in blue vinyl during prior ownership. Appointments include folding center armrests, power windows, and a factory AM/FM radio that was reportedly retrofitted with modern components. The seller notes that the air conditioning does not blow cold, and the interior lighting and fore/aft adjustment for the six-way power-adjustable front seat are inoperative.
The two-spoke steering wheel fronts a 120-mph horizontal sweep speedometer and a fuel level gauge. The five-digit odometer shows 65k miles, approximately 100 of which added during current ownership. True mileage is unknown. The seller states that the dashboard warning lights are illuminated at all times.
The 462ci V8 was reportedly overhauled during the refurbishment and was rated at 340 horsepower and 485 lb-ft of torque when new. The engine breathes through a rebuilt Carter AFB carburetor as well as a Waldron’s Exhaust stainless-steel dual exhaust system. The water pump and alternator are said to have been replaced during the refurbishment along with an exhaust manifold and the power steering pump. The battery was replaced and an oil change was performed in preparation for the sale.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a C6 three-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential. The transmission is said to have been rebuilt during the refurbishment and the transmission mounts were replaced in 2014.
The window sticker shows initial delivery to Gerald Motors of Skokie, Illinois, along with factory colors, options, and a total price of $7,738.
