SUMMARY

Effectively just two owners, a 390cid 'High-Performance' V8 and acres of gleaming Rangoon Red. Pure, unadulterated, unapologetic Americana.

DESCRIPTION

  • Imported and correctly registered in 2018 by its only UK-custodian
  • Finished in the glorious factory shade of Rangoon Red with a black vinyl interior
  • The 390ci engine has been rebuilt with mild cams and a Flow Master exhaust to enhance that distinctive V8 'burble'
  • Now complete with a full front disc brake conversion kit and correct type servo unit
  • Originality was clearly at the forefront of the restoration, with the eight-track player still in place and its original jack stowed correctly
