Vehicle Description
This convertible is powered by an LA-series 273ci V8 engine with an aluminum cased A-904 TorqueFlite automatic transmission. It has 72,123 original miles and has been restored mechanically as well as cosmetically. The current Montana owners have kept it in new and as-original condition. The interior and paint was done in the original color with NOS materials. It has a new stainless-steel gas tank, fuel line and fuel pump. The original engine, transmission, radiator, carburetor and distributor were professionally rebuilt. The alternator, generator and starter were locally remanufactured in Helena, MT. Brake drums, shoes, cylinders and lines all replaced with OEM parts. This rust-free Montana car was special ordered new in Helena, MT. Factory non-stock OEM oversized 10" race-style brakes were ordered from the factory. It has no power brakes and no air conditioning to rob power or cause overheating. Forward front fender mirrors were installed so the driver could see to pass with a 6 man team onboard. The fenders were restored, removing the forward mirrors as original. This car is an original survivor with extensive lifelong upgrades and restoration. A true matching-numbers car, this car runs and drives excellent. The original owner's manual along with parts and service books come with car.
