Equipment
The car is powered by a 350ci L48 V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission and is finished in black and silver over Silver leather. The car is equipped with a Positraction differential, 15″ eight-slot alloy wheels, removable glass roof panels, an AM/FM radio, cruise control, power windows, and air conditioning. Exterior equipment includes removable glass T-top roof panels, pop-up headlights, side marker lights, fender air vents, sport mirrors, and quad taillights. The 15″ eight-slot alloy wheels are mounted with 225/60 Goodyear GT Radial tires. Braking is handled by four-wheel power-assisted discs. The cabin features bucket seats trimmed in Silver leather along with a color-matching dash, center console, door panels, and carpeting. Interior amenities include an AM/FM radio, cruise control, power windows, a tilting steering column, and air conditioning. The three-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 140-mph speedometer and a 7k-rpm tachometer. An analog clock as well as gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, voltage, and fuel level are located in the center stack. The five-digit odometer shows 1600 miles. The 350ci L48 V8 is equipped with a four-barrel carburetor and an aluminum intake manifold and was factory-rated at 185 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque.
