The 327ci L75 V8 was equipped from the factory with a single four-barrel carburetor, and this car was factory optioned with an off-road exhaust system. The engine have been rebuilt in 2010 and wears replacement valve covers.
The engine stamping is shown above, and the RD suffix corresponds with a 300-horsepower, 327ci V8 for use with a manual transmission.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and an optional Positraction differential, both of which were refurbished at the time of the engine work.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames a tachometer with a 5,300-rpm redline accompanied by a 160-mph speedometer as well as gauges for amperage, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level.
The five-digit odometer shows 51k miles, the gauges have been refurbished, and true mileage is unknown.
