Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

331 Hemi V 8, 4 barrel, ported and polished heads, dual exhausts, power windows, AM radio. Excellent body and chrome but orange peel paint. Sound interior, but work went no further than that. An inexpensive driver, but with surprising performance that will startle many Muscle Car owners.

Market commentary

Cool car. The seller probably had nearly this much in the engine work, let alone the crappy paint job (Earl Sheib, Any car any color) but it could have been let go for the bid with little regret except for poor decisions.
