The 427ci Turbo-Jet V8 breathes through a four-barrel carburetor atop an aluminum intake manifold and is equipped with a transistor ignition module.

Engine code T0309IP indicates a 425-horsepower 427 that was built at Tonawanda on March 9, while the partial serial number to the right matches that stamped on the tag in the cockpit.

The car was finished in Milano Maroon (988) from the factory, and its fiberglass body was removed from the frame during the 2000s project.

The five-digit odometer reads 83k miles, with the actual total unknown.
