The 351ci V8 breathes through a four-barrel carburetor fed by a NACA duct in the hood, with similar ducts to either side provided for engine bay cooling.

The powerplant was factory-rated at 290 horsepower and 385 lb-ft of torque.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a wide-ratio four-speed manual transmission and a 3.00:1 rear end.

A three-spoke steering wheel frames a 140-mph speedometer and a tachometer flanked by coolant temperature and fuel indicators, while an oil pressure gauge and ammeter are mounted ahead of the shifter.

The five-digit odometer shows 25k miles.
