The original factory invoice sheet along with TWO original build sheets go with the car to document its’ list of factory options.
Open the hood and you will find the correct belts, hoses, starter solenoid, voltage regulator, yellow top coil, air cleaner, decals, and other authentic touches. Look under the car and you will find concourse correct suspension components with correct factory paint daubs, correct paint over spray patterns, and a detailed driveshaft with the correct identifying paint stripes.
Open the trunk and you will find the correct splatter paint, a new trunk mat, the correct scissors jack, lug wrench, spare tire, and mounting hardware. This car even has a new top boot with its’ original born with top boot bag!
Open the door and you will find the correct date coded seat belts, a flawless dash pad, beautiful factory steering wheel, and flawless seat covers with the impossible to find original interwoven comfort weave inserts that are no longer available. It’s things like these that lead me to believe that this is a true low mileage car with actual mileage as shown on the speedometer.
The car has front and rear spoilers, as well as side stripes and the “Tu-tone Hood,” complete with a NASA style scooped hood painted with the correct matte black finish and sporting functional hood locks. It also has a dual exhaust system with the correct H pipe, mufflers, and turn downs, a honeycomb rear panel, and an NOS pop open gas cap. The factory copper color was changed to its’ current (and more desirable) color of Medium Bright Yellow.
The body on this car is absolutely flawless with no signs of filler or rust repair anywhere on the vehicle. The quarter panels, trunk floor, trunk drop offs, deck lid, doors, passenger floors, front fenders, fender aprons, and front and rear valances are original to the car with no signs of repair of any kind.
Even the tail light panel and battery box appear to be original. You won’t find reproduction metal anywhere on this car. As a matter of fact, if you pull up the carpet you will see that the passenger floors are still covered in factory paint that looks like it was applied yesterday. Even the bright work, stainless trim, and chrome on the car is flawless!
The paint has just been buffed to a mirror finish and the carpet and underlayment were just replaced with the highest quality materials available. The windshield is brand new and has the correct “Carlite” logo. The Magnum 500 chrome wheels and center caps are brand new as well.
All of the A/C components, including the condenser, compressor, hoses, expansion valve, dryer, and fan motor, are brand new. The A/C was converted over to R134 and blows ICE cold!
Other items that were just replaced include the dash lights, the shifter bezel, and the door speakers. Everything on this car works perfectly, including the horns, tachometer, gauges, turn signals, brake lights, headlights, windshield wipers, heater, and cigarette lighter. Even the factory clock was just professionally restored and keeps perfect time! The car starts right up, the motor doesn’t smoke, and there are no leaks of any kind.
