Finished from the factory in Matador Red (R) with a black vinyl roof, the car was repainted in its current shade of red with black stripes on the hood and trunk lid during prior ownership.

This is a relist after the vehicle was previously sold on BaT in February 2024 and the winning bidder failed to follow through with their commitment to purchase. This was not due to any fault with the vehicle. The winner’s participation on BaT has been restricted and their buyer’s fee was not refunded.

Chrome-finished 17″ REV alloy wheels are mounted with 235/45 front and 285/40 rear Nitto NT555 Extreme ZR tires. The car is equipped with power steering, and braking is handled by power-assisted front discs and rear drums. The suspension has been lowered and features Bilstein shock absorbers, front and rear sway bars, and BMR rear control arms with polyurethane bushings.

SS-logo floor mats line the footwells, and equipment includes a Vintage Air climate-control system, a Custom Autosound digital radio, SS 396 dashboard trim, and a FiTech display and control interface.
The split-spoke steering wheel fronts Dakota Digital instrumentation consisting of an 8k-rpm tachometer, a 160-mph speedometer, digital readouts, and auxiliary gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and voltage. The digital odometer indicates 33k miles, approximately 500 of which have been added under current ownership.
The replacement 350ci V8 was installed under prior ownership and features a FiTech Easy-Street electronic fuel-injection system, an Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold, an Accel HEI distributor, and long-tube exhaust headers.
