Description
Finished in gold with black stripes over a gold interior, the car is powered by a 455ci V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission.
The 455ci V8 was factory rated for 365 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque.
The carburetor has been rebuilt and replacement components include the power steering pump, alternator, fuel pump, and exhaust system.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission.
A replacement gas tank, fuel level sending unit, tank vent, and straps have been fitted.
A repaint in Burnished Gold (58) was carried out in 2017, and the factory vinyl roof was removed at that time.
Exterior features include a fiberglass dual-inlet hood, a rear wing, 442 badging, chrome bumpers, red plastic fender well liners, and polished exhaust outlets.
Chrome 14″ Magnum 500 wheels feature black insets and wear 245/60 BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires with raised white lettering.
Braking is from power-assisted front discs and rear drums.
Recent service includes replacing the coil springs, shock absorbers, and emergency brake cable.
The interior is upholstered in gold vinyl with a matching dashboard, carpets, and door panels.
Amenities include air conditioning, an AM radio, and a center console with a locking storage compartment.
An interior refresh included rebuilding the front seats with replacement foam and covers as well as replacing the rear parcel shelf, ignition lock, carpets, door panels, and door locks.
The four-spoke steering wheel frames a 120-mph speedometer, a clock, and a fuel-level gauge. Gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, and voltage are mounted below the dashboard.
The five-digit odometer shows 48k miles, total mileage is unknown.
