Factory options include Landau panel, A/C (which does work and has been converted to R134), power windows, power seats, power brakes, power steering, tilt steering wheel, power antenna, and AM/FM radio.
The 390 V8 starts and shifts smoothly through the gears. It’s a pleasure to drive. Besides the engine & transmission being rebuilt a new radiator, gas tank with lines, brake system, front suspension, shocks, and wire wheels were installed when it was restored. The Coker Red Line tires are only 3 years old. Electrically, all the lights work, including the front fender signals and sequential taillights.
The body appears solid with some bodywork. The floors and most of the panels appear original. There are some imperfections, please view all photos carefully. The only issue is currently the top does not go up. The owner re-wired the mechanisms and relays so there are 4 switches in the arm rest which operates each relay. Right now, the relay to open the lid does not work.
The interior was redone in the original black vinyl and looks fantastic. All the factory gauge’s function including the speedometer/odometer and clock.
