Exclusivity defines this 1978 Excalibur Series III, one of fewer
than 100 built that year. Draped in white fiberglass bodywork, this
convertible delivers a level of distinction seldom seen on American
roads. The unmistakable side exhaust exits through the fenders,
creating a visual signature that separates this machine from
ordinary automobiles. Dual front horns announce its arrival while
chrome bumpers adorn both ends. A new black vinyl convertible top
with crystal-clear plastic windows completes the upper half. Custom
15-inch wire wheels fill each corner, shod with Ironman radials -
225/70R15 front and 235/75R15 rear - while two additional full-size
wire wheel spares flank the side fenders for an unmistakable
profile.
Black bucket seats anchor the luxury-focused interior with a clean
layout that puts all controls within easy reach. VDO gauges line
the dashboard, including a functional clock that adds a touch of
sophistication. A vintage-style AM/FM radio provides the soundtrack
for your drives. The custom Excalibur steering wheel mounted on a
tilt column allows for perfect positioning, while the floor-mounted
shifter rises from a center console for quick gear changes. The
rear bench provides comfortable seating for additional
passengers.
Muscle comes from a massive 454 cubic inch V8 big block Chevy
engine fed by a four-barrel Quadrajet carburetor. HEI ignition
lights the fire while the TH400 three-speed automatic transmission
handles gear selection duties. The modified exhaust system collects
into three outlets that exit dramatically through the fenders.
Four-wheel power disc brakes provide stopping authority, and the
handling benefits from an independent suspension setup with control
arms and coil springs up front and independent mono-leaf rear. The
drivetrain sits on a modified Corvette platform, giving this
classic exceptional road manners.
