The 396ci L78 V8 was equipped from the factory with a single four-barrel carburetor for a factory rating of 425 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque. Replacement components installed during the 2000 refurbishment include the radiator and the ignition shield, while the fuel pump was rebuilt. The battery, fuel tank, and fuel lines were replaced in 2022.
The engine stamping is shown above. The IF suffix is consistent with a 425-horsepower, 396ci V8 for use with a manual transmission. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a Positraction rear end with a 3.70:1 ratio.
The cabin was refreshed in 2000, with components sourced from Al Knoch Interiors. The bucket seats are upholstered in white vinyl, which is complemented by coordinated door panels and red carpets. Amenities include an AM/FM radio, a heater, an analog clock, and lap belts.
A three-spoke woodgrain-rimmed steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and auxiliary gauges, which were refurbished in 2000.
The five-digit odometer shows 46k miles.
