Engine bay was given a "dress up" with the provision of a chromed 120 amp alternator and a chromed a/c compressor which supplies cooling to the retro under dash fan coil unit.
Engine sports billet rocker covers and air cleaner and is fed by two 4 barrel Edelbrock carburettors via an Offenhauser inlet manifold. All of which is for effect.
An MSD ignition system was fitted mostly for improved reliability.
The radio was replaced with a retro version which includes blue tooth capability. Sound is fed to 6 speakers plus a 10 inch sub woofer and is powered by two amplifiers which have their own dedicated deep cycle battery and a built in C-TEK charger. All this is discreetly hidden behind a panel in the boot.
While the original instruments were in reasonably good condition, Autometer gauges were fitted for safety and reliability.
Manual window regulators were upgraded to electric but equipment used is in keeping with the period.
The car sports 15 inch whitewall tyres with Tri-Bar Spinner hub caps. Power assisted disc brakes on the front wheels, drums retained on the rear.
