For Sale: 1978 Excalibur Series II in Mesa, Arizona

Vehicle Description

4129-PHX 1978 EXCALIBUR SERIES III

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.
