It was refinished in its highly desirable original factory color of Twilight Blue with black stripes. The original factory black interior was lightly restored and still retains a lot of originality. The highly detailed engine compartment is home to the original factory matching-numbers W-30 455 V-8 engine that was factory-rated with 370hp. The engine has the correct heads and intake. The engine breathes through a recently installed Gardner Concours dual exhaust system. The engine is coupled to the original factory matching-numbers Turbo-Hydramatic transmission with Hurst Dual Gate shifter. The power is transferred to the original factory matching-numbers 3.23-ratio limited-slip rear end. The undercarriage is also highly detailed throughout. This vehicle has been completely serviced and detailed, which is documented with an invoice.
