The body was refinished in blue metallic during current ownership and is fitted with a fiberglass hood. Features include a blue removable hardtop, a black tonneau cover, a convertible soft top, a padded roll bar, chrome bumpers, flared fenders, and Ford 260 badges.
Staggered-width alloy wheels wear three-eared spinners and are wrapped in 215/60 front and 245/60 rear BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires that are said to have been replaced in 2022. Braking is provided by stock front and Mk II-style rear discs, and the system is said to be equipped with dual Girling master cylinders and a vacuum reservoir tank located under the dash. The suspension was lowered under prior ownership and features modified A-arms, a heavy-duty front sway bar, replacement front coil springs that have been cut down, two additional rear leaf springs, a rear sway bar, and rear track bars. Curb marks are visible on the wheels.
The interior was refreshed during current ownership with seats reupholstered in black vinyl, replacement carpets, and a refurbished headliner in the removable hardtop top. Additional amenities include a wood-trimmed dashboard, lap belts, and a center armrest. The wiring harness was rebuilt in 2009, and the heater has been removed. The wood is cracked on the dashboard, the left door panel is torn, and the clutch and brake pedal arms have been bent to provide additional clearance.
The three-spoke Lecarra steering wheel sits ahead of a 5,500-rpm tachometer, a 140-mph speedometer, and gauges for oil pressure, fuel level, and coolant temperature. The stock ammeter has been replaced with a voltmeter, and a Stewart-Warner Moto Minder vacuum gauge is fitted. The five-digit odometer shows 84k miles, approximately 10k of which were added during current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The replacement Ford V8 was rebuilt to 289ci under prior ownership, and a rebuild in 1996 included boring the cylinders 0.030″ over. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Ford HEH-E four-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential with 3.07:1 gearing. Equipment includes an Edelbrock F4B intake manifold, a Holley 600 CFM carburetor, Pertronix electronic ignition components, an aftermarket radiator, an electric cooling fan, a remote oil filter and cooler, an electric fuel pump, exhaust headers, and an Ansen scattershield. A video in the gallery below shows the car starting and driving.
