The Galen Govier report notes that the car is one of one equipped with the selected options and colors and it is finished in Black Velvet over black. Power is provided by a 340ci V8 mated to a TorqueFlite three-speed automatic transmission and a Sure-Grip 8 ¾ rear axle with 3.55:1 gears. Equipment includes air conditioning, Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection, an electric fuel pump, electronic ignition, 14″ Rallye wheels, power steering, a Rallye dual scoop hood, a satin black rear tail panel, and a retro-style AM/FM stereo with an auxiliary input.
