The 327ci L75 V8 was equipped from the factory with a Carter AFB carburetor and a high-lift camshaft for a factory rating of 300 horsepower. The engine was bored .030″ over and rebuilt in 2014, and the carburetor, alternator, distributor, and water pump were overhauled as well. The spark plugs were replaced in preparation for the sale.
The engine stamping includes sequence 105593, which corresponds with the last six digits of the vehicle’s serial number. The RD suffix indicates a 300-horsepower, 327ci V8 for use with a manual transmission.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed Borg-Warner manual transmission and an optional Positraction differential.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 5,300-5,500 rpm red zone as well as gauges for amperage, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level.
The five-digit odometer shows 300 miles, which represents the distance driven since the instrument cluster was overhauled in 2015. Total mileage is unknown.
