Straight and solid body with no signs of any major accidents. Clear California title. Odometer shows 26,525 miles, but it has probably been rolled once. VIN# D7FH280960 Flame Red exterior with White interior, all redone by previous owner sometime in late 90s. 312 cubic inch engine with two four-barrel Holley carburetors outputting 245 horsepower. Transmission was rebuilt in 2006 with only 38 miles added to odometer in last four years since. Cowl tag picture has been included for number enthusiasts who want to check color/engine configurations. It features an automatic transmission with original shifter (on floor). It also features power brakes, power steering, fender skirts and upgraded factory head covers. Car runs and drives well and sounds good. Braking and steering are function well also. The paint is pretty nice, but does have some scratches and blemishes, but nothing major (please see pictures). The chrome is in pretty good shape with front and rear bumpers and much of trim having been rechromed in late 90s during previous owner’s restoration. The car also features the rare wind-wings option. Both the hard top (with porthole) and soft top are included. Soft top is almost brand new. Hard top needs some trim pieces as driver/passenger windows do not close tightly. The dash pad is in good condition. The carpet is in newer condition but does not fit perfectly, as it appears loose in some areas. A refitting of the carpeting would be beneficial, but not necessary for everyday use. Trunk is very clean and almost like new. Locking mechanism in trunk lock does not function properly (sometimes locks/sometimes doesn’t) so replacement lock could be beneficial. The vehicle also has features an aftermarket CD player/radio with new speakers which were installed three years ago. Car is available for inspection and is located in Woodland Hills, CA.
