    This slick bird is loaded! From aftermarket air conditioning to both tops, power steering and brakes plus much more. Exceptional quality throughout. I sold this car 18 years ago! We have a copy of original Invoice. It was born red with a lot of options. Sold new at San Marino Motors in San Marino California.

    EXTERIOR: It’s drop dead gorgeous! The body is still straight and has no damage or rust and it was restored over 18 years ago. Functional hood scoop. Original Torch Red according to the trim tag. It is polished like glass, extra sexy! Jambs are painted real nice. Weatherstrips are excellent. All the chrome trim sparkles. It has optional chrome headlight eyebrows and front license plate surround. Also optional wire wheel baskets with red centers. Windshield was replaced, has glass wing windows. Each one is mounted on a Coker Classic radial white wall. This is a desirable two top car. Restored removable hardtop painted white. The headliner, weatherstrips, chrome and window are excellent. White convertible top on a factory top frame (not a cheap reproduction).

    INTERIOR: Sharp two tone red-white. It has power windows and seat, factory tachometer, telescopic wheel and floor mats. Extras include air conditioning, quartz clock, retro stereo with remote for cd changer and red seatbelts. When it was restored they started with sound deadener on the floor and red carpet. The seat was recushioned and upholstered. Door panels were restored. The dash area is excellent. Tachometer and clock bezels were chromed. Knobs, controls, lenses are excellent. Interior light works. Steering wheel is excellent, chrome horn ring is not broke off.

    ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Show quality, it is obvious it was completely apart and restored. 292-198 hp motor runs smooth. It has engine dress up which includes finned valve covers, chrome air cleaner and breather. The exhaust manifolds were ceramic coated. It also has optional power steering and brakes. The a/c is neatly installed, it’s barely noticeable. Upgraded from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system. The generator was also upgraded with an alternater. It has reproduction hoses and clamps, washer fluid bag and correct plug wires. 12 volt battery is properly secured, has disconnect switch. Every component looks real nice. The painted surfaces are painted slick.

    TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Complete and detailed. The metal is all painted gloss red. The spare is a painted rims with a whitewall tire. The jack assembly is restored and properly stowed. Reproduction mat, weatherstrip, seat divider, latch assembly and decals. Extras include a cd changer, car cover and hardtop cover.

    UNDERSIDE: It is exceptionally clean! The floors, braces, inner rockers are as dry as a chalkboard. The metal is clean and painted smooth satin black. The chassis is also clean metal painted smooth satin black. The front end components look clean. It has stainless exhaust with Smithys mufflers. Looking up at the motor it is also very clean. The Cruise-o-matic trans is clean. It looks like under this car was all apart during restoration. Every component looks nice.

    There is nothing to apologize for with this car. It has the best colors, loaded with factory options and has very desirable upgrades tastefully installed. The restoration is impressive, you can tell it was a no expense spared job. The fact it is over 18 years old and still is this nice says a lot too. One of the best birds I’ve had!

    I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my professional impression of the vehicle.
    Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video that explains the car’s condition in detail.
