The body was refinished in its factory color of Daytona Blue (916A) in 1982 according to the seller, who states the body was removed and the frame and chassis were refinished during the 1997 refurbishment. The seller notes evidence of paint checking, wear, and scuffing on portions of the body. Additional photos depicting the body, finish, and other imperfections are provided in the gallery below.
Cosmetic details include split bumpers, hidden headlights, fender vents, rocker-panel accents, and dual exhaust outlets. The replacement white soft top is shown in its raised position above and in the gallery below. Steel 15″ wheels feature stock faux knock-off covers and are mounted with Michelin thin-whitewall tires at each corner.
A blue (490B) interior scheme extends from the vinyl bucket seats to the door panels and dash trim. An analog clock and vertically mounted AM/FM radio are housed in the center stack, and safety belts are equipped for both occupants. The seller notes the windshield was replaced during the refurbishment, and an stock early-style AM radio is included in the sale.
Refurbished instrumentation consists of a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for fuel level, battery charge, coolant temperature, and oil pressure. The five-digit odometer shows approximately 55k miles, approximately 1k of which have been added by the seller.
The 327ci V8 is topped with a four-barrel carburetor and was rebuilt in the late-1990s according to the seller, who notes the engine was decked and balanced with forged internals and features solid lifters and hardened valve seats. The stock carburetor and distributor are said to have been rebuilt, and the wiring harness was replaced. Power is sent rearward through a rebuilt Muncie four-speed manual transmission and a rebuilt differential. The car was last serviced with an oil change and battery replacement.
The engine stamping shown above includes the digits 101028, which correspond with the final six digits of the vehicle’s serial number. Additionally, the RE suffix on the same pad indicates a 340 horsepower 327ci V8 equipped with a high-lift camshaft and paired with a manual transmission.
