Description
Finished in red with yellow stripes and white meatballs over black leather, the car is powered by a 289ci Ford V8 paired with a Toploader four-speed manual transmission. Additional equipment includes Edelbrock RPM Performer cylinder heads, fully-independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes with inboard-mounted rears, side exhaust pipes, quick-jack points, a roll hoop, and 15â? pin-drive wheels with three-eared knock-off spinners. Maintenance within the last year has reportedly involved replacement of the clutch and radiator. The fiberglass body is mounted over a steel tube frame and is finished in red with yellow stripes on the driver-side front fender and white number meatballs on the nose, trunk lid, and sides. Features include a hood scoop, driverâ??s roll hoop, Le Mans-style fuel filler, side exhaust pipes, headlight stone guards, and quick-jack bumperettes. Halibrand-style 15â? pin-drive wheels are secured by three-eared knock-off spinners and mounted with BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires sized 235/50 up front and 255/60 out back. Braking is handled via four-wheel discs with Wilwood units up front, and inboard-mounted Jaguar brakes out back. The car features four-wheel independent suspension with a Jaguar-sourced unit and adjustable coilovers out back. The cabin features black leather bucket seats equipped with multi-point Crow latch-and-link harnesses along with a matching dashboard, door panels, and carpets. Amenities include a dash-mounted rear-view mirror, toggle switches for vehicle functions, and map pockets in both doors.
