The car is said to have been stripped down to the gel coat and refinished in the factory Polo White during current ownership. Features include a tan convertible soft top, a Scottop removable hardtop, wire mesh headlight guards, a curved windshield, removable side windows, and a chrome grille, bumpers, and trim as well as dual exhaust tips exiting through the rear bodywork between the three-piece rear bumper.
The 15″ steel wheels are painted red and wear chrome spinner covers and Firestone 6.70-15 whitewall tires. The car rides on independent front suspension with coil springs along with a live axle with leaf springs out back, and braking is provided by four-wheel drums. The seller notes that the shock absorbers, tires, brake components, and brake lines were replaced during the refurbishment.
The interior features bucket seats reupholstered in red vinyl with matching carpets and door panels, white accents on the dash and doors, and chrome trim. Equipment includes a push-button AM radio, an analog clock, and lap belts. The windshield wipers do not work and the under-dash wiring needs attention. The seller notes that the upholstery, carpeting, trunk mat, liner, wiring harness, and weatherstripping were replaced during the refurbishment and that Al Knoch Interiors material was used.
The two-spoke steering wheel features a horn ring and frames a 140-mph speedometer, and additional instrumentation consists of a 5k-rpm tachometer flanked by gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, battery voltage, and oil pressure.
The 235ci Blue Flame inline-six features three Carter side-draft carburetors and was factory rated at 150 horsepower. The seller notes that the fuel pump and three carburetors were rebuilt, and a PerTronix electronic ignition system as well as hi-performance coils, plugs, and wires were added. The battery, starter, and generator were replaced, valves were adjusted, and ignition timing was set during the refurbishment.
