The car was finished from the factory in Prairie Bronze Metallic with a Wimbledon White roof (PM), and work during current ownership included removing the body from the frame, stripping the paint, replacing quarter panels, and repainting the car in metallic blue. Exterior elements include pillarless side windows, quadruple headlights, chrome bumpers and trim, front vent windows, “500XL” and “427” badging, and dual exhaust outlets. Flaws in the paint are depicted in the photo gallery below.
Magnum 500-style 15″ wheels are mounted with 225/60 BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires showing 2021 date codes. Braking is handled by Wilwood disc brakes with slotted and cross-drilled rotors up front and drums out back.
The interior has been refurbished under current ownership and is equipped with front bucket seats and a rear bench trimmed in black upholstery with a color-coordinated dashboard, earlier-model door panels, and carpets. Appointments include hand-crank side windows, black Galaxie-branded floor mats, an analog clock, a heater, and a Custom Autosound head unit with Bluetooth connectivity.
The three-spoke steering wheel features a chrome horn ring and fronts a horizontal-sweep 120-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges. A Stewart Warner oil pressure gauge is mounted beneath the dash and the five-digit odometer shows 32k miles. True mileage is unknown.
A 427ci top-oiler V8 was been fitted and features a Comp Cams 270-S camshaft, roller rocker arms, a Moroso oil pan and windage tray, dual Holley four-barrel carburetors, MSD electronic ignition, an alternator conversion, and a dual exhaust system.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a medium-case three-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission and a Trac-Lok rear end with a 3.50:1 gear set.
