The rear has been upgraded with tubular control arms and front disc brakes. The emergency brake is functional, and the dual exhaust system is new with mufflers and tailpipes exiting under the rear bumper. The gas tank and hanging straps were replaced. The period-correct 396 engine looks clean and proper with a high torque starter. It has a reproduction Muncie M21 4-speed trans from Auto Gear and a 12-bolt positraction rear end.

SERVICE: Our lead mechanic thoroughly inspected the car and reinstalled the glove box latch, plugged in the clock, repaired the wiper switch, connected the blower motor, repaired the door lock knob, and modified the window crank.
