The all-steel body was reportedly repaired and repainted black as part of a refurbishment completed in 2019. Chrome trim adorns the bumpers, grille, light surrounds, and door hardware, and additional features include dual exhaust outlets and a hood ornament. The glass was reportedly replaced at the time of refurbishment.
American Racing 14″ and 15″ wheels wear BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. Stopping is handled by power brakes with discs up front, and work completed as part of the refurbishment reportedly includes installing a Super Bell I-beam front axle along with a Vega steering box, Posie leaf springs, and Pete and Jakes suspension components.
The cabin features bench seating upholstered in brown and tan leather with matching door panels, a body-colored dashboard, and tan square-weave carpets. Equipment includes a glove box, manually-operated windows, three-point seat belts, and a floor-mounted shifter and parking brake. The bench seat folds up to reveal a storage area, and sound insulation was reportedly installed as part of the refurbishment. The seller notes the windshield wiper motor is not installed.
The banjo-style steering wheel is mounted on an Ididit tilting column and fronts Stewart Wagner instruments including a 160-mph speedometer, 8k-rpm tachometer, and gauges for coolant temperature, fuel level, battery voltage, and oil pressure. The seller notes the horn does not work. The five-digit odometer indicates 4k miles, approximately 500 of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The 276ci flathead V8 was reportedly sourced from a 1951 Mercury and features Offenhauser cylinder heads, an aluminum 2-duece intake manifold, adjustable lifters, and a Mallory electronic distributor. Additional features include ceramic coated headers, a Griffin aluminum radiator, electric cooling fans, and a 12-volt electrical system. The seller notes the engine was rebuilt by Motor City Flathead under prior ownership.
