It retains the original factory VIN Tag and original factory Cowl Tag. It was refinished in its highly desirable original factory color of Twilight Blue with black stripes. The original factory black interior was lightly restored and still retains a lot of originality. The highly detailed engine compartment is home to the original factory matching-numbers W30 455 V8 engine that was factory rated with 370 horsepower. The engine has the correct heads and intake. The engine breathes through a Gardner Concours dual exhaust system that was recently installed. The engine is coupled to the original factory matching-numbers turbo-hydramatic transmission with Hurst dual gate shifter. The power is transferred to the original factory matching-numbers 3.23 ratio limited slip rear end. The undercarriage is also highly detailed throughout. This vehicle has been completely serviced and detailed which is documented with an invoice. From the MS CLASSIC CARS Collection.
