Its numbers-matching 427ci L71 V8 is topped by three two-barrel carburetors and is paired with a four-speed manual transmission with a 3.70:1 Positraction rear end. Other factory features include an AM/FM radio, T-top roof panels, a transistor ignition, and P02 full wheel covers. The car was awarded accolades between 2007 and 2019 including a Top Flight Award, two Bloomington Gold Certifications, and MCACN Concours Gold and Triple Diamond Certifications.
The body finished from the factory color of Cortez Silver (986) and repainted during prior ownership. Features include twin front grilles, side vents, removable roof panels, chrome bumpers, and pop-up headlights.
Steel wheels wear optional P02 full covers and are mounted with vintage-style Firestone redline tires at each corner.
The bucket seats are upholstered in black vinyl (ZQ4) and complemented by a color-keyed dashboard, console, and carpeting. Features include a push-button AM/FM radio and a transistor ignition.
Instrumentation consists of a 160-mph speedometer and a 7k-rpm tachometer ahead of the driver, as well as gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and battery charge mounted in the center stack. The five-digit odometer shows 36k miles.
The 427ci L71 V8 was rated at 435 horsepower by the factory and features a trio of Holley two-barrel carburetors. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a Positraction rear axle equipped with 3.70:1 gearing.
Stamping 19S705160 is shown above, and the ending sequence matches the car’s chassis number ending sequence. The LR suffix on the same pad stamping corresponds with the L71 427ci engine for manual-transmission applications.
