Description
It is powered by a side-oiler V8 that has been modified to displace 482ci and mated to a Tremec TKO600 five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Finished in Guardsman Blue with Wimbledon White stripes over black leather upholstery, the car is equipped with pin-drive 17â?³ wheels, disc brakes, independent suspension, Edelbrock aluminum cylinder heads, a Comp Cams hydraulic roller camshaft, dual Holley 660-cfm carburetors, MSD ignition, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, a keyed push-button ignition, and a fire extinguisher. Exterior details include polished bumperettes, a hood scoop, fender vents, wind wings, dual side-view mirrors, a single roll hoop, a Le Mans-style fuel filler, and dual side-exit exhaust outlets. Halibrand-style 17â?³ wheels are secured with three-eared pin-drive knockoffs and are mounted with BF Goodrich G-Force T/A tires that measure 245/45 up front and 315/35 out back. The car is equipped with four-wheel independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes with Wilwood calipers, braided stainless hoses, remote fluid reservoirs, and a cockpit-mounted proportioning valve. The fixed-back bucket seats are trimmed in black leather and are fitted with Simpson racing harnesses. Additional interior elements include a dashboard-mounted rearview mirror, Wilwood pedals, widened foot boxes, leather door check straps, a keyed push-button ignition, and a fire extinguisher. The seat heaters are inoperative. The wood-rimmed steering wheel fronts a black upholstered dashboard that houses AutoMeter instrumentation that includes a reverse-sweep 180-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and readouts for oil pressure, oil temperature, coolant temperature, voltage, and fuel level. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 498 miles, which reflects the distance traveled since the car was assembled.
