Description

The current owner purchased the car in Denmark in 2019. The frame and entire chassis were sandblasted and painted silver in Denmark. Some bushings have been replaced, and it has disc brakes all around. The body and paint are in good condition except for some minor damages in a few places. The four vents on the wings are reminiscent of 1968/69 model

It features a 454 big block engine with Super Competition long tube headers from Hooker, 4" collector pipes, and Hooker Corvette sidepipes. It also has an Edelbrock Torker intake and carburetor.

Recently, it underwent a service with several parts replaced at a cost of 40,000 SEK at a workshop. This includes the flexplate, starter motor, and generator. The thermostat and water pump were also replaced, along with the oil pan gasket and rear crankshaft seal. Oil and engine compartment filters were changed, among other things. The fuel gauge, temperature gauge, and oil pressure gauge are all functional. Its now inspection/MOT exempt for life

Of course, there are still things to do on the car to make it 100% complete. Some items that need attention are the absence of a convertible top or hardtop, which can be purchased online at a reasonable price. The heating system is not complete, as it lacks controls. However, the fan and heating unit are fitted.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car runs and drives smoothly, benefiting from recent maintenance and repairs. If desired, one can upgrade the carburetors to 660 or 700 for additional power. However, the current performance is already quite satisfactory.

  • Interior condition:

    The interior of the car is well-maintained and tidy, featuring reupholstered seats in a sleek dark green fabric. However, it should be noted that the heater vents are missing, and the heater/fan system requires a thorough review.

  • Exterior condition:

    The paintwork of the car is in excellent condition, with minor marks present around the inner doors and body. The underbody has been thoroughly renovated and is exceptionally clean. Although the roof is currently missing, the necessary preparations have been made for it to be refitted or alternatively, opting for a simpler solution such as a hardtop. The bonnet is not standard and features a high lift and scoop design. The alloy wheels, styled in a "Boyd Coddington" fashion with 5 spokes, are in nice condition and are equipped with good tires.

  • General condition:

    This attention-grabbing car is ready for summer fun, with just a few fixes needed, mainly regarding the roof option.
