- The 428 engine is strong and has never been rebuilt. It was inspected (valve covers and oil pan removed for visual inspection prior to firing) and given a clean bill of health. This bird loves to run at 85mph!
- I'm the 4th owner/3rd family to own her. I have the complete ownership history, and I've been gathering receipts, gate receipt, and the window sticker. All documents, some additional parts, and a flash drive of pictures come with the purchase. There are also some interesting stories to go along with this bird (including a Saudi Arabian prison!) that I'll tell the buyer.
- The interior is all original with no signs of wear. The only minor issue is a small burn hole in the passenger seat from someone smoking inside.
- In 1997, there is an entry in the maintenance record of "paint" for $167. This appears to be only for touchups, and suggests this is the factory paint and top!Basics:
